Lightman and Gloud Question's

1. Yes, I do believe that reading the first and last paragraph of an essay gives you a good preview of the article.
2. It is important to know that Lightman is a scientist because he knows a lot more about this subject than an artist or social worker would know about the earth being round or flat. It also tells us he is knowledgeable and we can believe what he is telling us.
3. Lightman is using a lighthearted tone when he talks about conducting his experiments in Greexe because it seemed satisfying. He is serious when he talks about Aristotle being the first person in history to give proof that the earth is round. The effects of his tones showed that he could be humorous but also very serious.
1. To support the theory of evolution Gloud talks about the imperfections of nature. People think that nature should be elegant when in actuality it can be gruesome, but this is what the animals do to survive. Another theory to support evolution is the transitions are often found in fossil records.
2. Gloud talks about Einstein’s theory of gravitation replaced Newton’s apple theory.
3. I have never heard of the Darrow and Bryan trial and by reading about it my understanding was not reduced.
