What is the disadvantage of a story told orally?

Select the correct answer. What tone does the author use in this excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which discusses the hanging of an enemy combatant? The company faced the bridge, staring stonily, motionless. The sentinels, facing the banks of the stream, might have been statues to adorn the bridge. The captain stood with folded arms, silent, observing the work of his subordinates, but making no sign. Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him.

Special Effects in the Movies
Introduction
Special effects are a big part of movie magic. They let us fly through the sky with Batman. They make animals talk. Computers are used to create many of the special effects we see on the screen.

The role of the computer
A computer image for the screen takes a lot of work. Let's say you want a giant alligator in your movie. The first step is to scan a picture into the computer.

Then special computer programs let an artist add color, shading and texture. If the alligator needs more scales, the artist can draw them in. If it needs fewer teeth, he or she can take some out. After that, the artist works to make the alligator's movements look real. This can take days, even weeks!

The cost of special effects
Special effects take time and a lot of money. Artists sometimes work 12-hour days. Something that lasts a few seconds on screen can cost thousands of dollars and many hours to make. They cost a lot, but audiences love special effects. The movie industry knows this so it keeps making them bigger and better.

PLEAS HELP ASAP
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.
