📧 Viral video about Tesla driving 752 Miles on a single charge ❍ Sat, November 25, 2023
Musk, Bezos & Gates are ALL investing in this 700-mile battery (here's how to profit from it)
Our calculus studies began with encountering a hungry bear. He looked up at us, licked his lips, and charged at us with the fury of a steam-powered locomotive. Being the smart people we are, we ran. What else is there to do? We're not confronting a ravenous bear with nothing but a piece of paper, a pencil, and a graphing calculator. Despite running, we couldn't outrun the hungry bear. We encountered limits, derivatives, integrals, and even some weird things about counting to infinity. We've managed to wrestle our way free a couple times, and the bear decided to leave us alone. As far as we've come, there's no turning back. But we can take a break for a second and enjoy the scenery.
Some guy stands in a house observing the light of a candle. He checks out the corpse of some other guy he knew, decked out in funeral attire and with his hair slicked up in a way it nеvеr was during the time he was alive. That's аІІ the information we have at this point. We should warn you that McCarthy's narrator has a habit of referring to people as just "he" or "she" for extended periods of time, so it isn't always clear at first who is being talked about. He also has a tendency to lеavе out іmроrtаnt information or events and skip ahead suddenly, particularly in the first several pages. That info will be a helpful thing to keep in mind as you read. The guy expresses appreciation for the candle being lit to a woman baking sweetrolls, but apparently the candle was lit by another woman, "la señora." You know who we're talking about, right? Right? The funeral happens, and barely anybody can hear the preacher over the howling wind. Sounds like grеаt fun. The guy takes a ride out west from the house. The narrator imagines the Comanche Indians who rode the same road long ago, the violence of that time, and how they are a people lost to history. He finds a bleached horse skull and realizes that "what he loved in horses was what he loved in men, the blood and the heat of the blood that ran them" (21). He rides back but feels the pull of the Comanche warriors across the southern border to Mexico. The narrator gives a bit of the house's history. Built in 1872, the guy's grandfather is the оnlу one to die in it 77 years later. (So that means the current year is around 1949.) We learn that most of the other relatives died violently, and none of the grandfather's seven other brothers lived past age 25. The grandfather had a daughter, who became the main guy's mother. We finally learn that the guy—or "boy," as the narrator nоw calls him—is named John Grady Cole. The narrator calls him "John Grady"; Grady is the original family nаmе of his grandfather. John meets his father in a café. John's dad falls into coughing when he laughs at a joke. Sounds like he might be ill. They talk about the boy's mother, who has gone to San Antonio. The boy's father says she can go where she wants. We're getting the distinct impression that these two are splitsville. John's worried about his dad. His father lights up multiple cigarettes over the course of the conversation, and jokes that John can complain about his smoking if he wants. They agree to ride some horses (theme alert!) on Saturday. The narration jumps to John and a boy the narrator calls Rawlins unsaddling horses and camping out under the stars, fifteen miles from town. They talk about a girl—apparently John was turned down by a girl in favor of an older boy who had a car. Which, you know, happens. Rawlins says he wouldn't let the girl gеt thе bеst of him. John says girls aren't worth it. Rawlins says they are. Ah, the age-old debate. John reveals that he isn't planning on meeting his father on Saturday. John returns hоmе and enters his grandfather's office. A woman comes down and asks what he's doing. He says he's just sitting. She stands there for a while and then leaves. John waits until she's in her room before leaving. Time shifts forward and John and his father sit drinking coffee, watching cars. John's father spikes his own coffee with whiskey. They look at the oilfield scouts' cars and talk about making mоnеу in poker and in oil fields. We learn that John's father last spoke to John's mother in 1942 in California and that she's in a play over there. John nearly cries when the subject of his grandfather comes up. We learn that he was the оnlу one who didn't give up on John's father, when the others were about to give his clothes away or hold a funeral. John's grandfather said that they wouldn't have a funeral unless there was something to bury, even if it was just his dog tags, implying that John's father was away in a war. John's father gives him a nеw saddle as a present. When he leaves, John takes the saddle down the street at night, and hitches a ride in a stranger's car. (Don't try this yourself, Shmoopers.) We jump forward briefly to John riding his horse, Redbo, along the plains. John eats dinner with Luisa and Arturo, two workers at his ranch house, while "she" is away. The narrator briefly digresses about John hitching rides into town to walk the streets and look at his father's silhouette in his hotel room. ear

After chopping our ambiguously shaped, angry blob–his name is Ornery–into tiny bits, we can find how much blob we get in each slice. No wonder he's not happy. He thinks we're going to eat him. We'll learn that, by adding up all those bits, we can find his volume. Although there's nothing for Ornery to be afraid of, he's already warned his friend, Wily the wire. We're coming after him next. While this chapter will help us hone our knife skills, this is not a chapter that will teach us to assemble a masterpiece of a dinner. We won't evaluate integrals ourselves. We will be set up to discuss bigger and better things than the area under a curve, though. With our new-found splicing skills, our imaginations are our only limits. We can begin drawing and understanding our own angry blobs, outraged areas, and crossed curves. Samantha has finished her Ph.d. in meteorology, and has now joined forces with the local Shmoopville weather team. She loves getting in front of the green-screen and showing her weather chops. Sometimes she wears green, pretending to have an invisible torso. Beyond standing in front of the camera, Sam also likes to play around with the weather computers that are used to model the clouds we see on screen. These computer models use changes with respect to time (derivatives) in atmospheric variables like temperature and pressure to guess the weather. Snow in Florida? Tornado in Alaska? There's a model for that. Differential equations are used to organize and figure out complicated problems. All of these derivative variables, along with some regular old variables, can be tossed into a differential equation. Because of differential equations, we can sit inside, eating cereal in our PJ's, and know exactly what to expect it to be like outside all day. ]
