Excerpt from Latitude and Longitude Kathy Hufford
1 The earth is effectively a sphere, so how do we describe where a
point is on its surface? The most common way to locate points on
the surface of the Earth is by standard, geographic coordinates
called Latitude and longitude. These coordinates values are
measured in degrees, and represent angular distances calculated
from the center of the Earth
We can imagine the Earth as a sphere, with an axis around which it
spins. The ends of the axis are the North and South Poles. The
Equator is a line around the earth, an equal distance from both
Mórcator Projection
poles. The Equator is also the Latitude line given the value of 0
degrees. This means it is the starting point for measuring latitude. Latitude values indicate the angular distances between the
Equator and points north or south of it on the surface of the Earth
Here is a quote from Kepler: 'He provided himself with a cross-staff for determining the angular distance between stars or
other objects, and, finding the divisions of the scale inaccurate, constructed a table of corrections, an improvement that seems to
have been a decided innovation, the previous practice having been to use the best available instrument and ignore its errors."
What is the definition of angular distances that is used for calculating geographical coordinates? Consider sections 1, 2, and Kepler'e

It is the angular distances that are the starting point for measuring
Latitude
It is the longitude values are indicating the angular distance between the
Prime Meridian and points east or west of it on the surface of the Earth
it is the distance from the Earth when divided equally into 360 degrees of
longitude, and there are 180 degrees of longitude to the east of the Prime
Meridian
It is the angular separation between two objects as perceived by an
observer as the observer perceives the distance made at the eye by lines
drawn from the eye to two objects

the answers are:

1. dolores driscoll - b. first person minor

3. mitchell stephens - c. first person observer

the hunger games, written by  suzanne collins, is fiction in the young adult genre, which is not my age group, but i found myself unable to put it down. its combination of nerve-racking tension, thrilling action, and engaging love story kept me up until the wee hours. i was surprised at how completely engrossing the plot was. like  brave new world, this story is set in a future where the government oppresses its people, but the book also borrows ideas from the greek myth of theseus and the minotaur.

divided into 12 districts, ruled by an oppressive government located at the  capitol. katniss everdeen, a 16-year-old girl from district 12, takes her younger sister’s place as one of 24 “tributes” selected every year to participate in the hunger games at the capitol.

while i found this book absolutely enthralling, i was surprised it was aimed at an audience of young adults. it seems extremely intense for anyone younger than 16 or 17. for example, there is a scene where one young tribute is slowly eaten alive by wolf-like creatures all night long, and katniss has to finally throw a weapon at him to end his misery. i found this a little too disturbing when i considered the age of the character.

the intensity of the action was something one would find in a more mature book, but the age of the characters and the simplicity of the prose were aimed at a much younger audience. in addition, this book was written in present tense, which i found annoying, but that’s more of a personal preference than a stylistic fault. it was also edited somewhat poorly, but that rarely distracted from the plot. for example, the author often spoke in sentence fragments to describe how katniss felt, which might have been an attempt to reflect on her thought process, but i found it disorienting to read a lot of really short sentences all together. it would have been better to vary the sentence length on occasion, but the story was still coherently.

overall,  the hunger games  was an excellent, enthralling read that i highly recommend. if it was more clearly marked for older teens, it would have been better, but it was a fantastic book with a wonderfully creative plot.

happy to .
