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

English
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
3 0

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 monarch's (member of royalty) break with the Catholic church enabled Shakespeare's career?
matrenka [14]

The Pope would not grant him a divorce from his first wife, however. Henry then started his own church, the Church of England, and gave himself a divorce.</span>

In terms of the plot structure, where would you place this event in Silas Marner? Godfrey and Nancy agree not to make it public
Inessa05 [86]
<h3>Godfrey, having returned from his walk, tells Nancy some truly shocking news: Dunstan's remains have been found at the bottom of the drained stone-pits. With Dunstan's body, Marner's gold has been recovered. Godfrey also makes another painful revelation. He finally tells Nancy that the woman found dead in the snow outside of Marner's cottage sixteen years before was his own wife, and that Eppie is his biological child. </h3><h3> </h3><h3>Nancy hears this news with surprising calmness. She tells Godfrey that if he had only worked up the courage to tell her this news six years ago, when he was so eager to adopt Eppie, she would have supported him wholeheartedly. Better yet, she could have married him knowing that Godfrey had a daughter, and she could have raised Eppie as her own child. Thus Godfrey finally feels the full weight of his error. In failing to trust his wife, not only did he live without Eppie, he lived without ever knowing the woman he married.</h3>
