In this story, illness -specifically mental illness- is seen as temporary, and is not taken seriously. This is seen at the very beginning of the story, when the narrator indicates that her husband (a doctor) does not believe that she is truly ill. When a person is experiencing mental illness in this story, they are also believed to be cured by rest, exercise, and fresh air. Rather than today's methods of therapy and/or medication, the story describes merely taking a break from work and going away until one seems to be better.

What does the narrator in “Exhalation” hope to discover by auto-dissecting his own brain
Verizon [17]

Answer:

In "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang, what the narrator hopes to discover by auto-dissecting his own brain is the source of memories. The narrator wants to know how memories are stored in their brains. The story takes place in a world inhabited by pneumatically-powered machine men. They go to argon stations to refill their lungs. The narrator, a scientist, dissects his own brain to discover where memories are stored. He finds out that the memory function does not work in tandem with gears, but instead is air, argon. Memories are stored in argon. Air is essential to their lives, and so is air pressure.

Which list shows the correct way to structure a body paragraph in an essay?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Topic sentence, supporting details, concluding statement.

Explanation:

Firstly, everyone should know what you're talking about before you extend on it, so topic sentence should come first.

Then, you want to defend that statement you just made, so you give supporting details.

Lastly, conclude literally comes from the Latin root meaning "to finish, or end", so it should come last!! Hope this is helpful :)
