"When it comes to physical activity, Americans are like Goldilocks. It can't be too hot; it can't be too cold; it has to be just right. For example, hot and humid temperatures have been partially blamed for the South's disproportionately high obesity rates, most recently in a study from the University of Texas. When it's cold, we don't move either, according to anecdotal evidence and an analysis of user data from the fitness tracking device company Jawbone. Rain and wind also limit activity, studies have shown. (Jawbone found temperatures in the 60s and low 70s to be most popular for physical activity.) Of course, some fitness fanatics will weather any weather — even when it's double-digits below zero." What is the plot?
to inform people about America's laziest cities

“Yesterday, after playing with my hamster on the floor, I put him back into his cage. But, I didn’t close the lid tightly and he escaped. I didn’t know he was loose until I saw something run by my feet. I jumped up quickly and hit the lamp on the table next to me. The lamp fell and crashed to the ground, making a loud noise. Soon, my dad was in the room upset that he was awoken from his nap. I walked over to apologize when I stopped just in time. My hamster was sitting in front of me, looking up, and smiling. I reached down to grab him, and he took o! under the couch and into the kitchen. When I heard the scream, I knew my mom had seen my pet. She scooped him into a colander and popped him back into his cage. I tightly secured the top, and he was back in his home. I watched him play, and thought for sure I saw him give me a little wink.” What is the cause and effect in the first 2 sentences?

“As Richard set off to begin a life in America as an indentured servant, he thought only of the wealth and adventure he’d been told awaited him across the ocean. The myth that Virginia was an earthly paradise was cultivated by the Virginia Company, a firm responsible for bringing over workers to harvest tobacco in Virginia. One pamphlet put out by the company promised indentured servants “houses to live in, vegetable gardens, orchards, food and clothing— and 50acres of land for themselves.” As they arrived, he and the passengers were quickly sold to the highest bidder and put to work on plantations. After a long workday, another drum called them to church, then home to sleep on the dirt floors of rat-infested cabins. The brutal treatment of indentured servants was a secret the Virginia Company went to great lengths to keep.” What is the climax in the story?
finding out that it was all a lie

“Dred Scott was born a slave in Virginia around 1799. In 1834, a man named Dr. Emerson bought Dred Scott and they moved to Illinois, a non-slave (free) state. In 1838, they moved to Minnesota, also a non-slave state. There, Scott married another slave named Harriet. In 1838, the Emersons and Scotts moved to Missouri a slave state. In 1843, Dr. Emerson died, leaving the Scotts to his wife, Irene Sanford Emerson. Dred Scott didn’t want to be a slave to Mrs. Emerson so he sued her. He felt that he was no longer a slave because he had become free when he lived in a free state. In 1854, the U.S. Court for District of Missouri heard the case. Sanford won the case and Scott then appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court in the country.” What can you infer about about Dred Scott?
