Read the following paragraph and answer the question. 1 Poe really was the inventor of the detective story, which he called the

"ratiocinative" tale. 2 Here believing the effect intended was "to perplex the reader and whet his desire for elucidation," he originated two devices useful to this day. 3 One might be called "the device of the baffled friend": He gave his brilliant detective a companion not good at solutions and had him tell the story. 4 Viewing the happenings through this narrator's eyes, the reader shares his growing puzzlement. 5 Poe used his second device at the tale's end: He had the detective disclose his surprising solution and then "elucidate" step by step the reasoning which led to it. 6 "The Purloined Letter" demonstrated Poe's use of these two devices in a detective story.

write a description about a visit to the National Science Exhibition.( no need to write in essay, just easy writing )
Vsevolod [243]

The visit to the National Science Exhibition was a really rewarding experience. Since I was a kid I have been always attracted to science, specifically chemistry, because I have always had a lot of questions about how everything is composed. In the Exhibition I could see many experiments which show in an easy way how to understand chemistry in a simple way, for example I learnt how to turn on a lightbulb with copper and a potatoe.

This event opened my mind and now I am sure I want to be a scientist.
