Which pattern of organization is shown here?  In the 1960s, Rubin “Hurricane” Carter was a top contender for the middleweight boxing championship. In 1966, however, he and a friend were arrested for shooting to death three white people in a tavern. Though he maintained his innocence, Carter was convicted of the crime by an all-white jury and imprisoned. In 1974, he published his autobiography, claiming that he was a falsely accused victim of racism. In 1975, his story inspired singer/songwriter Bob Dylan to write a song about the injustice of the case. This song, entitled “Hurricane,” elevated Carter to the status of a folk hero. About the same time, witnesses who helped convict Carter recanted their testimony. In 1976, Carter was granted a new trial and released for six months. However, he was convicted a second time and sent back to prison, where he spent another nine years. During that time, a group of Canadians worked to free him, and in 1985, a federal judge affirmed Carter’s charge of racism and released him.

Which pattern of organization is shown here?  El Niño, which is Spanish for “boy child” or baby Jesus, was named by a fisherman who noticed a warm ocean current around Christmas. This abnormal warming of a huge area of the tropic Pacific Ocean occurs every few years as part of the “Southern Oscillation,” the varying pattern of air pressure in different parts of the Pacific and lasts about eighteen months. El Niño creates changes in rainfall patterns, ocean currents, and water temperatures, which affect weather all over the world. It produces more hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean and decreases hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It has also been blamed for increased flooding in North America as well as droughts in Australia, Africa, and South America. The El Niño of 1982–1983 was responsible for weather that damaged hundreds of thousands of homes and killed 2,000 people. The 1997–1998 El Niño contributed to a shipwreck and an airplane crash.
