My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine

, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well – they were treasures!
—“On Becoming an Inventor,”
Dean Kamen

Read this passage. Use details from the text to explain how Kamen supports his opinion that making things out of metal was enjoyable.

Answer:

Kamen supports his opinion that making things out of metal was enjoyable. I know this because he says things like he was interested and how on weekends he looked at all of his tools.First off, he says he was much interested in it. The text explicitly states "so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida." All this means is that he went to Florida because he was interested in the metals and tools. Next off, on weekends he was sat there and was observing the tools all weekend. The text states "He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. " This means he would use the weekend instead of doing anything he would do that. All in all, Kamen supports his opinion that making things out of metal was enjoyable. I know this because he says things like he was interested and how on weekends he looked at all of his tools.

Hope this helps!
