Ever since Deana was a child, she dreamed of flying into outer space. As a young girl growing up near Orlando, she had many oppo

rtunities to watch space shuttle launches. She would wake up extra early on launch days, sneak out her second-story window, and perch herself on the roof. She would stare at the shooting cloud and wonder who was inside and when it would be her turn.
Twenty years had passed since those days as a wistful child. Now Deana was seeing a shuttle from a whole different angle, from inside. Deana was sometimes still in shock that this was her life now. She thought about all the years of hard work, all of the times she decided to train and study instead of dating and going to parties like other people her age. She held back a tear as she tried to swallow. The view was spectacular. Earth was barely insight at this point and ahead of her was pure openness.



Suddenly, Deana blinked into reality. Sergeant Reece grabbed her arm and looked at her with terror in his eyes. There was a fuel leak. At this rate, there wouldn't be enough fuel to get the crew home. Deana took a deep breath. She was terrified but prepared. Deana ordered the crew to patch up the fuel tank. She adjusted the speed so that the shuttle did not burn as much fuel. She radioed ground control for help. They were able to redirect the shuttle back to Earth.



Deana's quick thinking and bravery saved everyone on that shuttle, but all Deana could think about is how her journey had to be cut short. As she looked back at the quickly approaching Earth, she thought to herself, "Well, there's always next time."

what is the outcome when twain tries to persuade different wild and tame animals to accumulate vast stores of food (line 52-64)?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The outcome when Mark Twain tries to persuade different wild and tame animals to accumulate vast stores of food was that they did not do it.

This example shows us of never ending hunger of humans to store more than necessary.

Explanation:

The Lowest Animal is a paper written by Mark Twain of his fictional experiment done with animals.

In lines 52-64, Twain asserts that he tried to persuade animals, both wild and tame, to accumulate vast stores of food line. But he remarks that no one stored food more than they required. Even the bees collected only what was required for them for winters.

This experiment is suggestive of human's nature of greed and hunger for more. Through this experiment, Twain is conveying the message that humans are the animals that comes at the lowest animals and not the other way around.

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article <em>"An Inspector Calls and J B Priestley’s political journey"  </em>by Alison Cullingford.

In that article the five words that Cullingford uses to describe the ‘golden age' were:

  1. freedom,
  2. plenty,
  3. hospitality,
  4. conviviality,
  5. generosity.

He uses such words in other to highlight the contrasts between past experiences and the present one in which Bradford found himself.
