Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Wright emphasized that a building should have an organic and natural sense, which he expressed in his Prairie Houses.
2. The Robie House is an example. The horizontal sweep of the roof and the open interior space reflect the flat expanses of the Midwest landscape.
3. Each of Wright's residential houses was specific to its site.
4. For example, Fallingwater used concrete cantilevers to mirror the natural cliffs over the hillside.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Wrought iron is soft and flexible, and, when heated, it can be easily twisted into a variety of forms. To create cast iron, carbon is added to the iron, forming a more rigid and stronger material.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
