A person who changed the world...

     Alfred Nobel (21 October 1833 – 10 December 1896) was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and armaments manufacturer. He was the inventor of dynamite.In 1888 Alfred's brother Ludvig died while visiting Cannes and a French newspaper erroneously published Alfred's obituary. It condemned him for his invention of dynamite and is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death. The obituary stated "The merchant of death is dead" and went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday." Alfred was disappointed with what he read and concerned with how he would be remembered.

   Ashamed on how he was going to be remembered. When he did die, he left all his money to celebrate the cause of humanity; he created the Nobel Prize.

    My opinion it's that we don't know how we will be remembered and it's something we will never get to do, see how we will be remember after we will be gone. But Alfred had that chance and made a change to the world.

Comparative Adjectives

     When we compare things, people or even ideas we look at what makes them different from each other. Comparative adjectives are used to show what quality one thing has more or less than the other. They normally come before any other adjectives. Comparative adjective identifier is ER.

Examples:

A car is faster than a bicycle.

A bicycle is slower than a car.

Superlative adjective

The superlative is used to say what thing, person, or idea has the most of a particular quality within a group or of its kind. Superlative adjectives normally come before any other adjectives. Superlative adjective identifier is EST.

Example:
