Summary of ted chiangs exhalation

English
1 answer:
nikdorinn [45]2 years ago
5 0

Answer + Explanation:

The story is epistolary in nature, taking the form of a scientist's journal entry. The scientist is a member of a race of air-driven mechanical beings. The race obtains air from swappable lungs filled with pressurized air (argon) from underground. When it is realized that a number of clocks simultaneously appear to be running fast but they do not appear to be malfunctioning, the narrator decides to explore the explanation that people's brains are computing slower. The scientist dissects their own brain and discovers that it operates based on the movement of air through gold leaves. The scientist hypothesizes that others' brains are computing slower because rising atmospheric pressure causes air to pass through the leaves at a slower rate, and that the subterranean supply of argon will eventually be depleted, equalizing the pressure between the two atmospheres.

According to Woolf, what general conditions make works of genius difficult to produce? What special conditions do women face in
Sloan [31]

Woolf states that is difficult that genius is produced by uneducated people, such as women in Shakespeare's time were, and such the worker class is today. If a person doesn't have the chance to study, to practise, to get experience at the chosen craft, it is impossible that becomes a genius. Geniosity is not a gift but something that can be achieved by study and practise.

Women in Shakespeare's time didn't have a chance to become genius, they had to work ward for other people, their families first or their husbands when the time came. A woman "born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at." To pursue her dream would have been "doing a violence to herself", to make themselves face rejection and mockery on and on and on wold make anybody ill, physically or psychologically. And if they managed to survive and write, "looking at the shelf where there are no plays by women, her work would have gone unsigned".
