Henry Ford was an American industrialist and business magnate who founded the Ford Motor Company. He introduced the first moving assembly line for mass production of affordable automobiles. In the 1920s, Ford fell behind competitors by only offering the Model T in black. To boost sales, Ford introduced the Model A in 1927 which was produced in different styles. Ford was hugely successful and by 1929 had dealerships on six continents, producing a third of the world's automobiles.
Henry Ford introduced the Model T car in order to make automobiles affordable for everyday Americans. The Model T was cheaply produced using assembly line manufacturing and the standardization of parts. This reduced costs and allowed Ford to continuously sell the cars for low prices between 1909 to 1928. Mass production and standardization stimulated the economy by creating jobs in related industries like steel, oil, rubber and more. As more Americans could now afford cars, this launched an economic cycle of prosperity.

You must include at least three pieces of textual evidence. A thesis, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Must use evidence from these 2 sources below. It can be either from passage 1 or 2. Passages are below.
Passage 1
“The Boy Who Took Things Apart”
1
There once was a boy named Henry who liked to disassemble things to understand how they worked. Once he dismantled a friend’s watch and then put it back together. It worked perfectly. When Henry became an adult, he once said, “Every clock in the house shuddered when it saw me coming.”

Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863, on his family’s farm near Dearborn, Michigan. He was always fascinated with mechanical devices. His preoccupation with mechanical things prompted him to travel to nearby Detroit, Michigan. Detroit was a growing industrial city, and Henry had no problem finding work at the Detroit Dry Dock Company. There he saw the type of engine he would later use to manufacture automobiles. When he was 28, Henry Ford went to work at Thomas Edison’s Detroit Illuminating Company as a mechanical engineer. He was soon promoted to chief engineer, but he had loftier goals.
3
In his spare time, he tinkered with gasoline-powered engines and bicycle parts. His tinkering paid off in 1896 when he completed his first vehicle. He called his invention a “Quadricycle.” The vehicle ran on four bicycle tires powered by a two-cylinder gasoline engine. Onlookers, some of whom said it looked like a baby carriage with an engine, came to see Ford’s invention on its first test-drive. Unfortunately, the Quadricycle broke down after a short run. This minor failure did not discourage Henry Ford.
4
Ford began again. By 1899, he completed another vehicle that resembled a motorcar. It had high wheels, a padded bench, brass lamps, and mudguards. The same year he introduced his improved Quadricycle, he established the Detroit Automobile Company. In 1901, he raced his new Quadricycle against what was then the world’s fastest automobile. Before a crowd of 8,000 people, Henry Ford easily won the race.
5
Building on the publicity received from his victory, Ford was able to secure financing for facilities in which to refine his ideas. By 1903, he began his own company called The Ford Motor Car Company. By January of the following year, he had sold 658 vehicles. When he opened The Ford Motor Car Company, he said, “I will build a car for the great multitude.” He did so by offering the Model T at an affordable $950. During the nineteen years the Model T was in production, 15,500,000 were sold in the United States alone.
6
Henry Ford is remembered for more than affordable automobiles. He modernized manufacturing methods. As a boy, he took apart a $3 watch and examined the parts, figuring out that the watch could actually be made at a cost of thirty-seven cents each if the manufacturer would produce thousands of.
Henry Ford was an American industrialist and founder of the Ford Motor Company, born in 1863 in Michigan and died in 1947. He is most known for introducing assembly line production to manufacture affordable automobiles for the masses with his Model T. Before 1918, Ford was a Republican but switched to the Democratic party after. He revolutionized manufacturing through efficient line production which made cars cheaper, faster to produce, and in higher volume. The Model T, first produced in 1908, was how Ford initially earned his wealth and fame as an innovator in the automotive industry.
Henry Ford invented the Model T car in 1908, revolutionizing transportation and making cars accessible to the masses. By 1918, half of American families owned a Model T. However, Ford struggled with his business dealings in Nazi Germany in the 1930s-1940s. The Nazi government limited Ford's operations and contracts due to their nationalist policies. Ford officials had to agree to racial hiring criteria and increase exports to Germany to keep their subsidiary open under Nazi rule. Though controversial, Henry Ford transformed the world by inventing the affordable automobile.

Cricket began in England about 500 years ago and was originally played by amateurs for pleasure. It developed after the industrial revolution when the poor took up the seasonal game for employment. The laws of cricket were created to favor batsmen, as gentlemen typically played as batsmen and helped develop the game. As a result, cricket came to be seen as a "gentlemen's game" that discriminated between the rich and poor. The game has since evolved but still retains some biases originally put in place to benefit wealthy amateur players.

Friction is the resistance that occurs between two surfaces in contact with each other. There are two types of friction: sliding friction and rolling friction. Friction has both advantages and disadvantages. While it allows us to walk and drive, it also causes wear and tear and wastes energy. Friction can be increased by roughening surfaces and decreased by using lubricants or ball bearings which reduce the contact between surfaces. A working model was proposed to demonstrate increasing and decreasing friction.
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake generated a tsunami that caused widespread damage in coastal areas of South and Southeast Asia. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred off the coast of Sumatra, displacing the ocean floor up to 20 meters and triggering a tsunami. Water receded from coastal areas before waves as high as 800 km/h rushed back inland, submerging islands and washing away infrastructure. India's Andaman and Nicobar islands were heavily impacted, with the Indira Point completely submerged. The tsunami caused massive destruction and loss of life across affected regions.
Argon is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic noble gas that makes up 0.93% of the Earth's atmosphere. It was discovered in 1894 by British scientists William Ramsay and Lord Rayleigh. Ramsay obtained pure argon by removing other gases like nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water from air samples. Common uses of argon include filling light bulbs and fluorescent tubes to prevent filaments from burning out, as well as for inert gas shielding during welding and growing crystals in the semiconductor industry. Argon lasers are also used for applications like eye surgery, holography, and semiconductor processing.
