What was the outcome of the experiment with the blind doctor, T. N., that is described in "Blind, Yet Seeing"?

Answer:

The blind doctor was able to navigate safely through the obstacles along the hallway, 'guiding' him to safely walk without hitting the obstacles.

Explanation:

Benedict Carey's article "Blind, Yet Seeing" from The New York Times reports the physical case of blindsight, which can be overcome by a person. The article also discusses how the subconscious mind of a person is capable of helping a person 'overcome' certain obstacles despite being physically blind.

In an experiment conducted, a well-educated blind doctor was asked to participate which he initially refused. His stance was that he <em>"had no interest in navigating an obstacle course - a cluttered hallway - for the benefit of science."</em> True. But when he did agree to be a part of it, his subconscious mind helped him <em>"zigzag down the hall, sidestepping a garbage can, a tripod, a stack of paper and several boxes as if he could see everything clearly." </em>This shows that the subconscious mind is still able to 'aid' a person despite physical blindness.

what is tone? How do authors create it? As a reader how do you pick up on the tone in a piece of writing? what are some words we
Arada [10]

Answer:  Tom is the author's attitude toward a subject or character.

Explanation:

Depending on the personality of the writer and the effect the writer wants to create, the work may have an informal, intimate, solemn, dark, playful, serious, ironic tone or a condescending tone.  In determining an author's attitude, humor, or tone, the diction used is examined. Is the author using adjectives to describe the subject? If so, what kind of words are being used, words like fragrant, quiet, magnanimous, which are words with positive connotations. Or are words like fetid, frilly, petty, which are words with negative connotations. When we speak, it is our tone of voice that translates our mood, frustrated, happy, critical, sad, or angry. When we write, our images and descriptive phrases convey our feelings as optimism, enthusiasm, indifference, resignation, or dissatisfaction. Other examples of tones in the literature are: airy, comical, condescending, funny, heavy, intimate, ironic, light, funny, sad, serious, sinister, solemn, dark or threatening.

Each professional's style is developed over years of practice and is not necessarily recognizable at first glance. Identifying a style requires the reader to have prior, practical or theoretical knowledge.

Think of style as the accent, set of mannerisms and mannerisms that you can identify in the speech of someone you know well.

The tone, on the other hand, is not constructed or manifested in the same way. The tone of a text does not depend on the characteristics and experiences of the writer, but on the position - which must be conscious - of the writer.

Tom is the speaker's attitude towards the reader. This is reflected in the choice of vocabulary and the construction of sentences and paragraphs. Unlike style, which needs to be developed, the text always has a predominant tone, even if the choice is not deliberate.
