What causes wildfires to spread? Find the text feature (picture, graph, map, subtitle, boldface word, etc.) that helps answer that question (page 6).

One of the themes is that the people of Lycia depends on Bellerophon to save them from the mythical monster the Chimera. I know this because on page 7 it states "We need the mighty Bellerophon." Another piece of evidence is that in page 9 the people started chanting Bellerophon's name. One last piece of evidence is in page 10 it states "We need a hero to save us! Will you help us, Bellerophon." This all show that the people are very dependent on Bellerophon.

The photos, captions, and the diagrams help us understand what causes wildfires to spread. An example is a diagram on page 6 shows heat, oxygen, and fuel create a chemical reaction. Causing fires to spread.

Some ways wildfires start is when active volcanoes explode with lava and start fires. Another way is lighting is very hot so if it strikes a tree it can catch on fire.Another is when people play with matches and cigarettes, if they are still lit leaves and branches can catch fire. I know because on pages 7-9 it states "The lava that spews out of an active volcano is hot enough to start a wildfire. What else is hot? Lighting! Kids who play with matches and lighters and adults who throw around burning cigarettes on the ground are responsible for many wildfires."

Wildfires can spread when oxygen, heat, and fuel all come together to start a fire. Things that can make that fires spread are dead leaves, branches, and dirt. I know this because of the diagram, photo, and caption.

One of the themes from the myth is dependency because according to the text it states that the people of Lycia are depending on Bellerophon to save them from the devious, scary, Chimera. It states this on page 6-11. On page 9 it also shows the townspeople chanting Bellerophon's name.

One of the themes from the myth is dependency, when Bellerophon and Pegasus save Lycia from a monster with 3 heads called the Chimera. I know this because in the text on page 10 it says "Bellerophon, you are a courageous warrior. The Chimera is on its way it will arrive soon and incinerate our kingdom. We need a hero to save us! Will you help us, Bellerophon?"

The photos, captions, and the diagrams help me understand what causes wildfires to spread. An example is a diagram on the page shows heat, oxygen, and fuel create a chemical reaction. Causing fires to spread.

On page 7 it states "So, in some cases, volcanoes end up causing wild fires." This shows me one way wild fires start. On page 8, the author wrote "Not surprisingly, many lightning strikes causes wildfires." This is another reason wildfires start. Another example from the text is "Campfires that are left unattended can also start wildfires." Also on that page it states that matches and cigarettes can cause fires too. All of these reasons show what causes wildfires, be sure to avoid them!

The diagrams, captions, and photos help me understand what causes wildfires to spread. An example is a diagram on the page shows oxygen, heat, and fuel, causes a chemical reaction, starting a fire. Fuels cause wildfires to spread by giving them energy. I know this because on page 10, it says that wildfires consume any fuel in its path.

Page 7-9 show what causes different types of wildfires to start, they state, "So, in some cases, volcanoes end up causing wildfires." - page 7, "Not surprisingly, many lightning strikes start wildfires." - page 8, and, "Nature is not always responsible for wildfires. In fact, people are often the cause." - page 9. Those text evidence show what causes different types of wildfires.

On page 6, there is a subtitle that helps me find out how wildfires start and spread. In the subtitle, it says "HOW WILDFIRES START AND SPREAD"

On page 7, there is a caption that explains why a volcano can start a wildfire. And on page 8, there is a graph that shows different types of wildfires and which ones occur more.

In the graph is shows what things can start wild fires it shows that they can start with fuel,chemical reaction ,heat,air .

The problem in this text is that the mighty three headed animal known as the Chimera is heading towards the town Lycia. The Chimera will try to incinerate the town. Nobody was able to defeat Chimera. I know this because in the text it says "Bellerphon, you are a courageous warrior .The Chimera is on its way. It will incinerate our kingdom."

One of the main events that led up to the solution of this problem was how Bellerphon talked with Athena to get a golden harness to get Pegasus. I know this because in the text it says "The goddess did not appear. As he waited Bellerphon fell asleep and dreamed of a golden harness that could help capture Pegasus." The citizens of Lycia told Bellerphon the weak spot of the Chimera is the chest, therefore if the Chimera were to get hit in the chest it would die. I know this because in the text it says "I've heard that his weakness is in his chest. If you could attack him in the chest maybe you can stop the beast."

The solution to the problem was that Bellerphon went to get Pegasus and bow and arrow to shoot the Chimera in the chest because that's its weak spot. I know this because in the illustration on page 28 it shows that Bellerphon shoots an arrow into Chimera's chest.
