Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

When I was twelve years old and Barton, my older brother, was around fifteen, we took over the family basement. At first, I made a darkroom for developing pictures, and Bart was using it as his lab where he was raising about one hundred white rats, removing their thymus glands, and trying to figure out the glands' dysfunction. He wanted pictures taken of his experiment, doing the surgery on rats, and since I already had a darkroom, I took the pictures, though somewhat reluctantly. I didn't like the blood.

What can you conclude about Barton from the excerpt?

He was interested in solving medical mysteries at a rather early age.
He did not understand why Dean would be squeamish about the blood.
He went on to become a very famous and successful doctor.
He had a severe dislike for rats and all other kinds of rodents.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.

Young had learned to read before he was two, and by the age of twenty had mastered a dozen foreign languages including Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then, intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed.

The details in this excerpt hint that Giblin has a

positive attitude toward Young’s passion for learning.
positive attitude toward learning new languages.
a negative attitude toward Young’s lack of focus.
a negative attitude toward living off an inheritance.

Read this excerpt from Dean Kamen's "On Becoming an Inventor."

I had just finished making a complicated piece of equipment that was to be used for a show opening in Philadelphia called "Fiorello." When the machine arrived they had trouble wiring it, so instead of going off to college that morning for orientation, I spent several days at the theatre fixing my light/sound equipment. The show received poor reviews, except for the mention by one reviewer of the "special effects," which, he wrote, were "outstanding."

How do writing shape readers' impressions?

Kamen's opinion seems to be that machines are more important than anything else. He supports this with an example of his work on a machine for a show in Philadelphia. His tone is formal and directed at a scholarly audience.

Kamen’s opinion seems to be that hard work can overcome any obstacles. He supports this with an example of hard work on a light machine. His tone is humorous and directed at a young audience.

Kamen’s opinion seems to be that his inventions are more important to him than other activities. He supports this by sharing an example of skipping college orientation to fix sound equipment. His tone is informal and directed at a general audience.

Kamen's opinion seems to be that special effects can make a show outstanding. He supports this with an example of his own special effects machine. His tone is formal and directed at a scientific audience.

Paraphrase the following paragraph (3) from “Teaching Versus Acting”

“Indeed, not all teachers are brilliant ones. There are specific skills that good teachers should have. For instance, the true teacher knows how to engage the audience and turn class into and interesting demonstration of knowledge. In other words, a good teacher understands that it is not enough to know the subject, one has to know how to make this subject interesting and attractive to the audience - students. So, teaching and acting are two sides of the same coin.”
