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...."

Need some opinions for my essay.
Answer: They both fought for rights
Explanation:
We usually do not think of animals talking, but animals do make sounds. Some fish can make sounds by grinding together the bony parts of their throats. Crickets rub their rough wings together. The chirping of a bird is made when it forces air through its throat. Birds can also make drumming sounds with their feathers and feet. The rattle of a rattlesnake and the slap of a beaver's tail are also examples of the ways animals communicate. 3

1) In "The Soul selects her own Society -," what leaves the soul "unmoved"?
Answer:
Chariots and emperors
Explanation:
According to the poem, the soul is unmoved by chariots and emperors. This can be seen by the lines "Unmoved- she notes the chariots-pausing- / At her low gate- / Unmoved-an emperor be kneeling / upon her mat."
This poem reinforces the idea that we have to be faithful to the person we want to be, regardless of what others expect of us. The poet says that we must be true to ourselves, our own convictions and desires.

Answer:
TT
It is not very long, not very loud and not in 3-D. It has no attention-grabbing celebrity voice work, and the only pop-cultural allusions it makes are to other stories and films about Pooh and his friends. Which is not to say that the movie is obnoxiously self-referential, but rather that it is comfortable with itself and confident in its ability to amuse and beguile young viewers.
The partial Americanization of Winnie the Pooh, starting in the 1960s, was one of Walt Disney’s most brazen and successful acts of appropriation. Public-domain fairy tale princesses like Snow White and Cinderella may have been easier to conquer than A. A. Milne’s beloved bear of very little brain, and the first “Pooh” featurettes—collected in “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh”—triumphed by respecting both the look and the sensibility of the literary source. Disney’s animated landscapes evoked E. H. Shepard’s lovely illustrations with such care that the book seemed to be coming to life on screen.
The new Winnie the Pooh, directed by Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall, makes similarly witty use of typography, sending its characters scrambling over lines of type, which serve as obstacles, means of rescue and invitations to surreal jokes that are both sophisticated and accessible to newly literate members of the audience. Like Milne’s books, the movie is partly an initiation into the delightful errancies of language, which fashions sense and nonsense out of the same materials.
The story partly turns on the difficulties of English spelling and reading comprehension. Christopher Robin leaves a note that is wildly misconstrued by his stuffed-animal companions, who conjure monsters out of the fog of their own confusion.
They also are in search of Eeyore’s tail, and Pooh himself, true to form, is on a perpetual quest for honey. Much silliness ensues, a few lessons are broached, and the characters now and then burst into song. These tunes are passable, but the real musical treats come early and late, via the vocals of Zooey Deschanel. The vocal performances are lively without being showy—Craig Ferguson is a particularly fine Owl—and the film as a whole is decidedly modest, seeking not to reboot or update the Hundred Acre Wood, but rather to brighten it up a bit and get it back to how it used to be.
So it is good to see Pooh again, along with Rabbit, Owl and Eeyore (my own Milnean avatar)—and to discover a new path back into the old, classic story. Winnie the Pooh may not be a movie that grown-ups seek out on their own, but it may make some of them jealous of the 4-year-olds who are making the noble bear’s acquaintance for the first time.

What do you think is more important, talent or effort? Explain why.
Answer:
Effort
Explanation:
Effort is more important then talent because effort allows us to discover how capable we really are of something, much more capable than we thought we were. We learn new skills and abilities when we take the time to put in consistent effort. Every new success that we achieve through our efforts increases our confidence in ourselves and our abilities. Effort keeps us focused on success.
Answer:
Effort
Explanation:
I choose effort because talents are always viewed over the effort that is put into something. There are many examples to this view. For one; in a play or musical, the props and characters have so much effort put into them that people overlook that and mainly focus on the talent of the actor. That not only takes out display the display of the backstage workers, but also gives the actor(s) more recognition over the backstage. This isn’t to say that actors are bad, it’s just saying that the audience doesn’t put enough focus on the efforts, but more so on the talent of something else that may be a little less important than everything else.

PARAGRAPH ANSWER: How is "The Fall of the House of Usher" a classic
Gothic Tale? What elements does Poe use to add to the suspense?
Remember, a Gothic Tale includes the following elements: 1. Set in a
haunted castle or house. 2. A damsel (girl) in distress. 3. An atmosphere
of mystery and suspense. 4. There is a ghost or monster. 5. The weather
is always awful. 6. Dreaming/nightmares. 7. Burdened male protagonist
(main character) *
Answer: "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a classic Gothic Tale since Edgar Allan Poe includes all of the 7 main elements.
Explanation: What makes the story a genuine gothic story is that it fulfills all the important elements, such as the hunted house (Usher's mansion), the damsel in distress (Usher's sister coming as a suffering soul from being buried alive), an atmosphere of mystery and suspense, (the narrator witnessing the strange behaviors of his childhood friend and the noises heard), a monster (the gothic fate that the characters possess), the awful weather (decaying trees and dark day), nightmares (Usher's paranoic attitude), and burdened male protagonist (the scared narrator).
Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game."
Laughter shook the general. "How extraordinarily droll you are!" he said. "One does not expect nowadays to find a young man of the educated class, even in America, with such a naive, and, if I may say so, mid-Victorian point of view. It's like finding a snuff-box in a limousine. Ah, well, doubtless you had Puritan ancestors. So many Americans appear to have had. I'll wager you'll forget your notions when you go hunting with me. You've a genuine new thrill in store for you, Mr. Rainsford."
"Thank you, I'm a hunter, not a murderer."
"Dear me," said the general, quite unruffled, "again that unpleasant word. But I think I can show you that your scruples are quite ill founded."

This is the Motif /symbol (it has a picture but I didn't screenshot it during class):
'A little girl putting on make up while looking in a mini mirror.'
I don't know what the theme of the motif would be.
Answer:
Judging by the sentence it could be that the little girl is vain. The reason is we are told this is a little girl not an adult who at a young age is putting on makeup. This child could have learned from her mother that makeup is essential to beauty shaping her to be vain and care about her appearance too much.

Two years ago I made peace with Generals Harney, Sanborn, and Colonel Leavenworth at the mouth of the Little Arkansas. That peace I have never broken. What cultural view is most reflected in this quotation?
Answer:
the value of promises
Explanation:
Values are simply known as personal beliefs sets. It s the attitudes about truth, beauty, and the worth about something that one portrays.
A Promise is commonly known as an undertaking to do accordingly and also not to act in a negative way or a specified way at some future time. When an individual decided to do something and when one promises to do something, one obligates oneself to do it. It is just words.
The value of promise is simply holding that conviction, that trust placed on you, that obligation dearly and personally without faulting.
