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...."


1The great circle that is the apparent path of the Sun.


2The process of moving faster or happening more quickly.

A narrative or story is a summary of related events presented to audiences or readers, in words arranged in a logical sequence. The word derives from the Latin verb narrare, "to tell", which is derived from the adjective gnarus, "knowing" or "skilled". Storytelling is a fundamental part of human nature. Man is the only animal that tells stories, and we have been telling stories and listening to them since the time we learned to speak.

Narratives must be presented in a logical sequence because they are a particular way of explaining or understanding events. Otherwise, the lack of logical sequence will lead to a complete thematic misunderstanding.

C.) He says "...We are guilty..." which makes the audience feel a certain way.

Answer:

C. By appealing to the emotions of the audience

Explanation:

In the phrase "Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices." the author is associating the speech with the emotion. The author wishes to appeal to the emotional side of the public, so that people are aware and moved by the horrors of World War II. Thus, the author tries to persuade the public saying that nobody should forget the atrocities caused by the war, because those who forget will be an accomplice and blame.

Frivolous can mean:

1- Something unimportant, petty as in they regard window shopping as a frivolous activity;

2- Something that is not serious,for example: she always has frivolous remarks about my clothes;

The Answer:

The word evidence refers to something that can prove any kind of information.

Submission is a word that has a similar denotation as deference but a different connotation.

A word that has a similar denotation to another one but a different connotation is a word that shares the same basic meaning with the other word but, at the same time, it invokes a different baggage. For example, a word can have a more positive connotation than another one that has the same meaning. Most times, connotation is influenced by the cultural experiences of individuals.

In this case, deference, which means respect shown for another person, has a positive connotation, while submission has a negative one since it gives a bad feeling and brings about a displeasing emotional connection.

An author enjambs lines to connect ideas.

an enjambment occurs when the poet breakes the syntactic unit at the end of a verse without any punctuation mark, so it continues on the next one.

By doing these, the poet can increase the dramatic tension of the poem and also give multiple meanings and different ideas to the poem or the stanza. If you read the line with the enjambment on its own, it can portray an idea that will be changed or complemented if you read it along with the next verse.

An Unreliable Narrator: The Voice of Truths and Lies

The narrator is the essence of every single story. The narrator defines the veracity of the events that are being told. Nonetheless, not all the stories have a sincere narrator. This is when the narrator's essences begin to differ, and this is when a narrator starts being called: unreliable. In the words of John Gardner, an unreliable narrator is: "a guy talking who is definitely not the writer and who is fun to listen to and fun to watch and who tells you all kinds of things that may be true and may be false". Thus, this guy has certain qualities that may transform a story into a work of art or a fanfare of fallacies.

 On the one hand, the unreliable narrator tells the readers what he wishes them to know from him, picking out extracts of information from a roulette of veracity or falsehood. He may decide to tell them that he is a philosopher and he develops that idea until he reveals that he's not a philosopher but a performer playing that role. Though, the lies that the narrator tells may not be always useful or entertaining. In order to make things interesting, the narrator must decide whether he wants to transform his voice into the maximum lie or telling the event exactly as it happened.

On the other hand, The voice of an unreliable narrator leads its way, either corrupted or not, towards the true nature of the story. An example of one of the most amazing unreliable narrators could be Humbert Humbert from Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged man who is obsessed with a beautiful blonde lass whose charm mesmerizes him. He is bewitched and his love towards her transforms the story into a melancholic and witty narration. However, he plays with the readers and enjoys telling them that he doesn't love the girl anymore, and that he wishes her death, but every time the girl passes by his side, her enchantment hypnotizes Humbert once again. This shows the effect that an unreliable narrator can have when his voice shows his evolving emotions. When a character changes his emotions out of thin air, the readers can feel identified with him because we are constantly evolving.

Furthermore, the use of an unreliable narrator can have many outcomes in the development of a story. Some of these outcomes may be positive or not, but it is the narrator the one that decides when he is going to be unreliable. The lies and truths that he decides to tell to the readers may embellish or impoverish his story. That is why his lies have to be conceived with a notion of artfulness because if he fails to lie, the readers will get lost in a parade of nonsense and trifles. The unreliable narrator is the one that wants to play with the reader. He wants the reader to puzzle out the pieces and to connect them to see if he is lying or not and if that event happened or not. With all his techniques, he becomes spellbinding to read.

Lastly, an unreliable narrator is a voice composed by truths and lies, like life itself. He is the one that seeks to get the juicy attention from his viewers, and if he manages to captivate their eyes, he will have them anchored into his psyche until the end of the story. This kind of narrator is one of the most fascinating because all the stories that have such a voice are the most human ones. The use of this voice is a way to understand that our lives and ourselves are, sometimes, unreliable narrators.

The passage uses humor and particularly the genre of 'Comedy of Manners', as seen in Oscar Wilde's works, to critique Victorian views about the importance of family by satirizing the obsessions, pretentiousness, and hypocrisies of the Victorian upper class.

This passage uses humor and satire to critique Victorian views about the importance of family through the lens of the 'Comedy of Manners' genre, specifically through the works of Oscar Wilde. This form of comedy relied heavily on characters and their social status, often poking fun at the social mannerisms of the Victorian aristocracy. It does so by caricaturing the pretentiousness and hypocrisy of the upper classes, exposing the flaws inherent in their obsession with reputation, duty and societal expectations.

For example, Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, uses humor to expose the absurdities of the Victorian elite's rigid obsession with familial obligations, often portraying characters who go to hilarious lengths to avoid their responsibilities. This higher value placed on societal status over familial fidelity, represents a critique of the false values of Victorian society.
