 * Response for Miami vs Los Angeles vs National**

When I looked at this graph, I imediatly noticed that Miami has the highest crime rate in everything. However, murder rates in LA and Miami are about the same. Crime rates in Miami are all in the same range. One thing about this graph that I found interesting is that LA has a lower burglary rate then Miami (obviously) and the National rate. I found this interesting because there are so many expensive objects to steel, you would think that LA's burglary rate would be rocketing through the sky! National rates are yet again the lowest in everything except for burglary. Overall LA is the safest way to go.

 * Response for Chicago vs Miami vs National**

One thing I found very suprising was that chicago has a higher murder rate than Miami. I predict the reason for that is because Chicago as a higher population. Robbery in Chicago has a higer rate than Miami. The reson being, Chicago is a richer city than Miami, so therefor there is more money to steel, and more places to put all that money to steel from. Miami has the highest rate of auto theft. Chicago has a lot of other ways to get aruond the city (subways, cabs, buses), so you don't need a car. If there are less cars, there are less cars to break into. Miami and Chicago are both fairly unsafe cities, but if you had to choose between the two, the smart way to go would be Chicago.

 * Response for Miami vs Portsmouth vs National**

The first diffrence I noticed on the graph was, Portsmouth having the lowest bars in all of the crime rates. Immediatly after I noticed that, I noticed that Miami is a very unsafe place to live compared to Portsmouth. I predict that the reason for this is that Miami has a much bigger population than Portsmouth, so therefor there are more people to kill. Murder in Portsmouth is rarer than three circles on one tootsie role pop wrapper! National theft and theft in Porstmouth are the exact same rate. There isn't much to say about Miami because they all have the same exact rate in everything, so I'll just keep talking about Portsmouth. I noticed that robbery and assault in Portsmouth are both around the same range. Overall Portsmouth is a much safer city than Miami.

1. I think bottles are made from amorphous solids rather then crystalline solids because crystalline solids would be easier to melt and you can't mold crystalline solids. I mean you can't mold snow, or salt, or sugar! 2. The melting point for the mold is much higher then the temperature at which the glass get's soft because the mold has to stay together while the glass takes the shape of the mold and melts inside it. 3. Once the bottle is placed in its 2nd mold it is in one of it's last stages of hardening. It is now hard, therefore it must have low viscosity. 4. Probably because glass has to be cooled of a lot after the molding process because it is still very hot.

I think that the apple is non-living because it is not getting nutrition anymore. After it was picked from the tree the apple became a non-living thing. The apple was living when it was on the tree because it was growing and changing. All living things need nutrtion to live, when the aplle was on the tree it was getting nutrtion to live and grow. In conclusion once the living apple was picked from the livingg tree, the apple became non-living.

The car Herbie is non living because all living things need nutrition to live. The car only needs fuel, even though fuel is like nutrition for the car it does not automaticly start up. Car's need people to start them. Once someone starts the car, the car appears to be moving. Another reason Herbie is non living is Herbie can't reproduce cars! Living things can reproduce, like seeds from flowers blow in the wind, it lands, and grows another flower. People can reproduce people!
