Thoughts of his parents' divorce fill Brian Robeson's head as he flies in a single-engine plane to visit his father in the Canadian wilderness. When the pilot suffers a massive heart attack and dies, Brian must
somehow land the plane by himself and then, left with only the clothes he is wearing and a hatchet he received from his mother as a parting gift, Brian must put thoughts of his past behind him and try to figure out how he can stay alive...

BRIAN ROBESON stared out the window of the small plane at the endless green northern wilderness below. It
was a small plane, a Cessna 406—a bush-plane—and the engine was so loud, so roaring and
consuming and loud, that it ruined any chance for conversation.
Not that he had much to say. He was thirteen and the only passenger on the plane with a pilot
named—what was it? Jim or Jake or something— who was in his mid-forties and who had been silent
as he worked to prepare for take-off. In feet since Brian had come to the small airport in Hampton, New York to meet the plane—driven by his mother—the pilot had spoken only five words to him.
"Get in the copilot's seat." Which Brian had done. They had taken off and that was the last of the
conversation. There had been the initial excitement, of course. He had never flown in a single-engine
plane before and to be sitting in the copilot's seat with all the controls right there in front of him, all
the pilot took off, had been interesting and exciting. But in five minutes they had leveled off at six thousand feet and headed northwest and from then on the pilot had been silent, staring out the front,
and the drone of the engine had been all that was left. The drone and the sea of green trees that lay
before the plane's nose and flowed to the horizon, spread with lakes, swamps, and wandering
streams and rivers.
Now Brian sat, looking out the window with the roar thundering through his ears, and tried to
catalog what had led up to his taking this flight. The thinking started. Always it started with a single word. Divorce.

Dred Scott had been enslaved for many years in Missouri. Later, he moved with his owner, who was an army surgeon, to Illinois and then to the Wisconsin Territory, where slavery was not allowed. After they returned to Missouri, Scott's owner died. The owner's wife took ownership of Scott, and eventually those rights transferred to her brother, John Sanford. Antislavery lawyers helped Scott to file a lawsuit, a legal case brought to settle a dispute between people or groups. Scott's lawyers argued that, because Scott had lived in a free territory, he had become a free man.
According to Dred Scott's lawsuit, how had his rights been violated?
A. He had been forced to move against his will to different places.
B. He was not not allowed to talk to a lawyer to prepare for his case.
C. He was kept as a slave although he had lived in free territory.
D. His ownership had been transferred without his agreement.

D) The hostages were students and teachers of an American school in Iran. E) The Shah of Iran was responsible for ordering the taking of the U.S. hostages.

What is the significance of Iran Hostage Crisis?The crisis in Iran helped theocrats who were opposed to any normalization of ties with the West gain political clout and enhance the reputation of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
American economic sanctions against Iran as a result of the crisis furthered the deterioration of relations between the two nations. The crisis occurred in the tumultuous period after Iran's Islamic revolution (1978–79).
In the course of the Iran Prisoner Crisis (1979–1981), terrorists in Iran kidnapped 66 Americans in the American embassy in Tehrn and held 52 of them hostage for more than a year.
Before his term as president ended, President Carter made additional efforts to obtain the hostages' release. Carter's presidency came to an end on January 20, 1981, only minutes after the liberation of the 52 American hostages imprisoned in Iran.
Therefore, options A, B and C are correct.

War is generally defined as violent conflict between states ornationsNations go to war for a variety of reasons. It has been argued that a nation will go to war if the benefits of war are deemed to outweigh the disadvantages, and if there is a sense that there is not another mutually agreeable solution. More specifically, some have argued that wars are fought primarily for economic, religious, and political reasons. Others have claimed that most wars today are fought for ideological reasons.Inthe United States, the legal power to declare war is vested in Congress; however, the president is the commander-in-chief of the military, so he or she holds power to conduct a war once it has been declared. In many instances, the president has used military force without declaring warJust War TheoryIn Western tradition, there is a sense that the reasons for war must be just. This idea dates back to ancient times, but is most clearly traced to the writings of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. They attempted to justify war, and reconcile it with the Christian belief that taking a human life is wrong.To Aquinas, a war must be just in both the reasons for going to war and how war is fought. Reasons for going to war—jus ad bellum—are just if (1) war is declared by an appropriate authority; (2) the war is waged for a just cause; and (3) the war is waged for just intentions. An appropriate authority is a proper, governing authority. A “just cause” may include self-defense or a response to injustice. “Just intentions” mean that it must not be fought for self-interest, but for justice or a common good. In addition, (4) there must be a reasonable chance of success; (5) the good that will be achieved must outweigh the bad; and (6) war must be a last resort.Once just reasons for going to war are satisfied, conduct in the war—jus in bello—must be just as well. Just conduct in a war means that it must be specific and proportional. That is, noncombatants and civilians must not be deliberately targeted. Further, only such force as is necessary must be used, and harms must be proportionate to the goal sought.Law of WarSome of the just war theories have been adopted as parts of international agreements and incorporated into the law of war (i.e., international law) that regulates the resort to armed force, the conduct of hostilities, and the protection of war victims.The Geneva Conventions, for example, are a series of international treaties that are designed to protect noncombatants, civilians, and prisoners of war. The treaties were negotiated in Geneva, Switzerland, between 1864 and 1977. The First and Second Geneva Conventions apply to sick and wounded soldiers and sailors. They contain provisions related to protecting the wounded and sick, as well as medical personnel and transports. The Third Geneva Convention applies to prisoners of war, and the Fourth Geneva Convention applies to people in occupied territories. The Third Convention requires humane treatment of prisoners, including adequate food and water. The Fourth Convention includes provisions that forbid torture and the taking of hostages, as well as provisions related to medical care and hospitals.

john stevens role in the annexation of hawaii
Answer:
What he did is down below in Explanation
Explanation:
He was the United States Minister to the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893 when he was accused of conspiring to overthrow Queen Liliuokalani in association with the Committee of Safety, led by Lorrin A. In January 1893, a revolutionary “Committee of Safety,” organized by Sanford B. Dole, staged a coup against Queen Liliuokalani with the tacit support of the United States. On February 1, Minister John Stevens recognized Dole’s new government on his own authority and proclaimed Hawaii a U.S. protectorate. Dole submitted a treaty of annexation to the U.S. Senate, but most Democrats opposed it, especially after it was revealed that most Hawaiians did not want annexation. President Grover Cleveland sent a new U.S. minister to Hawaii to restore Queen Liliuokalani to the throne under the 1887 constitution, but Dole refused to step aside and instead proclaimed the independent Republic of Hawaii. Cleveland was unwilling to overthrow the government by force, and his successor, President William McKinley, negotiated a treaty with the Republic of Hawaii in 1897. In 1898, the Spanish-American War broke out, and the strategic use of the naval base at Pearl Harbor during the war convinced Congress to approve formal annexation. Two years later, Hawaii was organized into a formal U.S. territory and in 1959 entered the United States as the 50th state.
