It often happens that one or another of my friends stops before a red chalk drawing in my study and asks me where I ever found so lovely a creature. I have never told the story of that picture to any one, and the beautiful woman on the wall, until yesterday, in all these twenty years has spoken to no one but me. Yesterday a young painter, a countryman of mine, came to consult me on a matter of business, and upon seeing my drawing of Alexandra Ebbling, straightway forgot his errand. He examined the date upon the sketch and asked me, very earnestly, if I could tell him whether the lady were still living. When I answered him, he stepped back from the picture and said slowly:

“So long ago? She must have been very young. Was she happy?”

”As to that, who can say—about any one of us?” I replied. “Out of all that is supposed to make for happiness, she had very little.”

We returned to the object of his visit, but when he bade me goodbye at the door his troubled gaze again went back to the drawing, and it was only by turning sharply about that he took his eyes away from her.

I went back to my study fire, and as the rain kept away less impetuous visitors, I had a long time in which to think of Mrs. Ebbling. I even got out the little box she gave me, which I had not opened for years, and when Mrs. Hemway brought my tea I had barely time to close the lid and defeat her disapproving gaze.

Jack London's story "To Build a Fire" takes place in the harsh wilderness of the Yukon, where temperatures have fallen to more than 50 degrees below zero. A man and his dog are on their way to a camp. The author makes it clear that the man does not quite understand how dangerous it is to travel in such conditions, although the dog understands on some level. At one point, the man's foot breaks through a patch of ice, and he "wets himself halfway to the knees." To keep from getting frostbite, he tries to build a fire, but he fails again and again until he eventually freezes. When the dog smells death, it trots off down the trail toward the camp.
Jack London's "To Build a Fire," the theme of instinct over intellect appears throughout. The dog, for example, cannot think in degrees of temperature as the man can; however, it feels a "vague but menacing apprehension." When the dog gets its paws wet, it removes the ice with its teeth, which London calls a "matter of instinct." The man has no such instincts, which is why he is traveling in such weather in the first place, ignoring the advice of an older man who warned him not to. With his intellect, the main character rationalizes traveling out in the cold, calling the old man "womanish." The closest the man gets to following instinct is when he has a "wild idea" to kill the dog and warm his hands in its carcass, but the idea comes too late to save him. The dog lives, and the man dies. Instinct wins over intellect.

What does the narrative voice in this excerpt tell readers about Squeaky’s character?
I was once a strawberry in a Hansel and Gretel pageant when I was in nursery school and didn’t have no better sense than to dance on tiptoe with my arms in a circle over my head doing umbrella steps and being a perfect fool just so my mother and father could come dressed up and clap. You’d think they’d know better than to encourage that kind of nonsense. I am not a strawberry.

Noah began racing go-karts when he was just six years old. Noah has traveled to other states to race, win, and finish in the top five, an impressive accomplishment for anyone but especially for a young driver. He now races a 1934 Ford Legends Coupe, a car that weighs 1,000 pounds and goes faster than 100 miles per hour. Noah regularly competes against drivers who are three times older than he is, but he does not let that intimidate him. He explained in one news article, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver. The other drivers don't treat me like a kid. They treat me the same as the other drivers on the track." He has the nickname "Little Gator" partly because of his size and partly because of Gatorland's sponsorship over the last several years.

In paragraph 2, Noah says, "I have been racing against older people all my life. When you strap on a helmet, you are no longer a 13-year-old kid, you are a racecar driver."

in the novel 1984 chapter 8 book 1, what examples does the author use to portray that theme "the impact of the past on the present"​

“Comrades,” said Snowball, “it is half-past six and we have a long day before us. Today we begin the hay harvest. But there is another matter that must be attended to first.”
The pigs now revealed that during the past three months they had taught themselves to read and write from an old spelling book which had belonged to Mr. Jones's children and which had been thrown on the rubbish heap. Napoleon sent for pots of black and white paint and led the way down to the five-barred gate that gave on to the main road. Then Snowball (for it was Snowball who was best at writing) took a brush between the two knuckles of his trotter, painted out MANOR FARM from the top bar of the gate and in its place painted ANIMAL FARM. This was to be the name of the farm from now onwards. After this they went back to the farm buildings, where Snowball and Napoleon sent for a ladder which they caused to be set against the end wall of the big barn. They explained that by their studies of the past three months the pigs had succeeded in reducing the principles of Animalism to Seven Commandments.

–Animal Farm,
George Orwell
