Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.
Which detail best supports Kamen's opinion that he
was hooked on making things out of metal?
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!
O He allowed me to visit him after school and on

O One, his shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two,
there was no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred
pounds, and the milling machine ... could be carried
into the basement.
O At the time I was making enough money from my
electronic devices to pay for all of this.
I decided to put his entire machine shop in our
basement, but there were two problems... One, his
shop wouldn't fit in our basement, and two, there was
no way the lathe, weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and
the milling machine, weighing two thousand pounds,

The ancient greek poet. homer, is credited with writing the odyssey. however, scholars still debate whether homer wrote the entire epic. what is the main reason for this uncertainty? o some sections of the epic are written in different poetic styles and forms. most ancient greeks could not read or write, so the epic was first written in latin ob och storytellers repeated the epic aloud for centuries before it was ever written down. od the epic was a fictional account, so the identity of its author may have been fictionalized as well.

Buck did not cry out. he did not check himself, but drove in upon spitz, shoulder to shoulder, so hard that he missed the throat. they rolled over and over in the powdery snow. spitz gained his feet almost as though he had not been overthrown, slashing buck down the shoulder and leaping clear. twice his teeth clipped together, like the steel jaws of a trap, as he backed away for better footing, with lean and lifting lips that writhed and snarled. read this passage. explain what the conflict shows about buck and spitz.
