CHAPTER II-THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt
From White Fang
By Jack London

Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad-cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer-so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:

"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."

"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.

They spoke no more until camp was made.

Read this passage.

First of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. You can’t prove that something is impossible—all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. People said no one could scale Mount Everest, but in 1953, Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. People said that man could not fly, but in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. People said, “Okay, we admit that someone could climb Mount Everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” If we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish?

Jillian read about Arches National Park in a travel brochure.

A large arch made of stone.

Delicate Arch is a sixty-five-foot-tall freestanding arch found in Moab, Utah. It was originally a large sandstone wall that eroded away over time with water and wind. Delicate Arch is one of Utah’s most well-known landmarks. It is depicted on Utah’s license plate. The Olympic torch relay for the 2002 Winter Olympics ran through the arch. Before it was named Delicate Arch, this landform was called "Cowboy Chaps" by local ranchers.

After reading this text and looking at the picture, which new idea can Jillian form about Delicate Arch?

Delicate Arch was probably called "Cowboy Chaps" because it looks like a pair of pants a cowboy would wear.
It was probably very difficult for Olympic runners to pass through Delicate Arch.
It is not likely that other natural arches like this are found anywhere else in the world.
Arches are perhaps the only landforms made by wind and water.
