because the old mariner killed the innocent bird ie... the albatross
The Polar Spirit seeks vengeance in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" because the ancient mariner shot an albatross, which was seen as a symbol of good luck and protection. By killing the albatross, the ancient mariner disrupted the natural order and brought misfortune upon himself and his shipmates. The Polar Spirit embodies nature's retribution for the ancient mariner's actions.
The poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is important to Walton because it serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of guilt and remorse. It also emphasizes the power of storytelling as a means of conveying important lessons and experiences. Walton sees parallels between the mariner’s story and his own quest for knowledge and adventure.
Yes. Spirit bears (also called Kermode bears) are a subspecies of american black bear. Polar bears are a different species altogether.
In the book "The Polar Express," the boy wishes for a bell from Santa's sleigh as a keepsake to remember his magical journey to the North Pole. The bell symbolizes the spirit of Christmas and magic that he experienced on the Polar Express.
None, since satellites don't "land", they orbit. There are 6 landers and rovers on the Martian surface, 2 of which were lost at arrival. NASA reports 3 types of Martian Exploration missions: (1) Fly-by missions: Mariner 3, Mariner 4, Mariner 6, Mariner 7 (2) Orbiter missions (the satellites): Mariner 8, Mariner 9, Viking 1, Viking 2, Mars Observer, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Climate Orbiter, 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (3) Lander and Rover missions: Viking 1 Lander, Viking 2 Lander, Pathfinder Rover, Polar Lander (lost), Deep Space 2 (lost), Spirit Rover, Opportunity Rover, Phoenix Mars Science Laboratory Rover is scheduled to launch in 2011.
No. The so called "spirit bear' is actually a white specimen of the Kermode bear, which is a race of the black bear. Around 2 in 10 of this subspecies is white.
Yes, besides Polar Bears, they are the only white bears. (stupid or something?) -.-
Good question. Some materials are more soluble in one solution than another. In general (very general); non-polar things are soluble in non-polar solutions. Polar things are soluble in polar solutions. So - for example - salt is NaCl, which is Na+ Cl- and so very polar. It dissolves well in water because water is also polar. (Water is kinda like H+ O- H+ if you excuse the poor charge balancing for the sake of simplicity). Paint however may be (not always, you can get water soluble paints) very non-polar and so you need something non-polar to dissolve it. White spirit is made from aliphatic (and alicyclic) compounds...which means hydrocarbons. These are not polar since C and H are actually pretty close in terms of electronegativity and they have no overall charge. And so when you put white spirit on the paint, the paint dissolves into the white spirit and so the paint "comes off". For further reading try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility For more advanced understandings, perhaps start looking into thermodynamics and the hydrophobic effect as they pair up nicely and kind of help each other in terms of understanding.

No its not polar
It is a polar molecule and has polar bonds.
Polar contains polar. Non-polar contains nothing.
