Questions pg. 371 and pg.385

pg. 371
1. Yes i believe that the technique gave me a very good idea of what the article is on, because the first paragraph introduced the article to me and the ending paragraph finished the main idea. The middle just summarized the details for me and put the picture all together.

2. It is important to know that Light man is a scientist because he has knowledge on this subject, If he was an any other job it would be based on opinion of that one person and would not have as many facts. The fact that he is a scientist is very important to the subject matter.

3. Light man is using a light tone. In the last paragraph he uses phrases to show that what he is saying is true and not forcing you to believe it but also to show a different perspective.

pg. 385
1. The fact that Gould used evolutionary fact to back up the belief in evolution. He states that the apple fell from the tree and explains it how newton did. Looking at the world gives us facts that we use now that can further us in science.

2. Some inferences that Gould uses is newton looking at an apple. Looking at this apple he thought of gravitation. With the thought of gravitation he defines it and comes up with he the laws of gravity.

3. When he starts the story i was lost and did not have a clue of what he was talking about. Only as i read on did i start to understand what he meant.
