GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse

Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two

The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.

There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.

He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.

He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.

He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.

"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.

"All set, Captain."

"You understand the program?"

Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."

Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.

"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.

He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.
But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.
Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....
There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.
Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.
He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

Why is this important to include stories and ideas into your informational text

Answers

Answer:1) Provides the key to success in later schooling

As they advance in grade, readers more frequently face content-area textbooks as well as informational passages on tests. Including more informational text in early schooling puts them in a better position to handle later reading and writing demands. Ideally, all students would read to learn and learn to read from the earliest days of school and throughout their school careers.

2) Prepares students to handle real-life reading

Nonfiction text is ubiquitous. From home to work, studies such as those conducted by Venezky (1982) and Smith (2000) show that adults read a great deal of nonfiction, including informational text. In addition, there is growing reliance upon Web-based material. To prepare students for this world, you need to be serious about teaching them to read and write informational text.

3) Appeals to readers' preferences

Are your reluctant readers truly turned off to books, or is the literature they usually encounter just not appealing? As Ron Jobe and Mary Dayton-Sakari describe in Info-kids: How to Use Nonfiction to Turn Reluctant Readers into Enthusiastic Learners, some students simply prefer information text. Using these resources in your classroom may improve attitudes toward reading and even serve as a catalyst for overall literacy development according to Caswell and Duke (1998).

4) Addresses students' questions and interests

Studies by U. Schiefele, A. Krapp, and A. Winteler (1992) illustrate that regardless of readers' text preferences, when the text topic interests them, their reading is likely to improve. Not surprisingly then, research by Guthrie, Van Meter, McCann, Wigfield, Bennett, Poundstone, et al. (1996) shows that approaches emphasizing reading for the purpose of addressing students' real questions tend to lead to higher achievement and motivation.

5) Builds knowledge of the natural and social world

Reading and listening to informational text can develop students' knowledge of the world, as shown in studies by Anderson and Guthrie (1999) as well as Duke and Kays (1998). According to other researchers (e.g., Wilson and Anderson, 1996), the acquisition of this background knowledge can help readers comprehend subsequent texts. Overall, the more background knowledge readers have, the stronger their comprehension skills are likely to be.

6) Boosts vocabulary and other kinds of literacy knowledge

According to researchers, parents and teachers focus more on vocabulary and literacy concepts when reading informational text aloud versus when they read narrative text (Mason, Peterman, Powell, and Kerr, 1989; Pellegrini, Perlmutter, Galda, and Brody, 1990). This extra attention from parents and teachers may make informational text particularly well suited for building students'word knowledge according to Dreher (2000) and Duke, Bennett-Armistead, and Roberts (2002; 2003). Learning to read diagrams, tables, and other graphical devices that are often part of informational text may develop visual literacy.

(ELA) The answer choices for this question include a direct quote from the paragraph below. Which answer choice is punctuated correctly?

The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and
water-li les grew at the deep end. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's
house, which stood by the roadside; at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank.

A. Because the narrator mentions a master's house, I think the narrator is someone's pet.

B. Because the narrator "mentions a master's house," I think the narrator is someone's pet.

Answers

The answer to your question would be the letter C.
- "The novel occurs in a realistic setting."
:)

The following is NOT a characteristic of a dystopian novel Fantastical creatures that evoke imagination. Thus the correct option is C.

What is a dystopian novel?

The dystopian category imagines environments or civilizations in which sorrow characterizes human society and living is exceptionally challenging due to persecution, fear, or other negative factors.

To create excitement about actual current events, dystopian fiction is frequently set in a relatively away future. Science fiction is required since dystopian literature and film are contemporary in nature.

The dystopian novel is interesting to teenagers because of their uniqueness and how they view the world, which appeals to their interests. They also find it familiar because the novels are typically portrayed from the viewpoint of youth.

Therefore, option C is appropriate.

Answers

Answer:

1. Are you a part-time student?

2. Does your sister go out a lot?

3. Do your parents live near here?

4. Do you have any sisters?

Explanation:

In the given question, you need to create questions in the present simple tense. The present simple tense is a type of present tense we use to describe habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

This is one of the most basic tenses in English. Most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular, which ends in -s. For example:

Your sister goes out a lot.

When we want to ask a question in the present simple tense, we need to add the verb to be and put it before the subject of the sentence. Often, this is the beginning of the sentence. We could transform the sentence I wrote above and then turn it into a question:

Your sister does go out a lot.Does your sister go out a lot?

You need to keep this in mind when arranging the words you were given. A form of the verb to be will come first, the subject will come second, and the predicate containing the main verb will come last.

What rhetorical device does Twain use by referencing this well-known proverb

Answers

Even though the proverb was not posted here, this question is still perfectly answerable.

Answer:

The rhetorical device Twain uses by referencing a well-known proverb is allusion.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone that has significance. The author does not explain much, since he/she assumes the audience knows who or what he/she refers to.

For instance, if someone says a woman is as beautiful as Helen of Troy, we would understand he/she means that woman is extremely beautiful. Helen of Troy is a famous character from the Iliad, by Homer, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The person making the allusion will not explain this fact, since it is well know.

Therefore, if Twain is referring to a well-known proverb, he is making an allusion to it.
