Oppenteimer is called “ Father of the Atomic Bomb” and had been in charge of the Los Alamas nuclear laboratory for many years. Yet the author considers him as merely very good.

Do you think it is right to say to be highly focused or not is the cause separating the great ones from the merely very good? What is your view?3. How does the author manage to bring the people he wants to compare into the article?Oppenheimer’s anecdote: Oppenheimer and dirac meeting Gottingen, talking about poetry and physicsHis decision to go to the conferenceSpender’s being at the conference—Spender’s obsession with Auden—great versus merely very good.4.How does the author develop the article?He uses the 1981 conference as the benchmark and goes back to earlier times and in the last two paragraphs returns the scene to the time of writing.

About the AuthorN. Scott Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1934. Momaday belongs to a generation of American Indians born when most tribal communities had long ceased to exist as vital social organizations. His Kiowa ancestors shared with other Plains Indians the horrors of disease, military defeat, and cultural and religious deprivation in the 19th century. Their only chance of survival was to adapt themselves to new circumstances. Momaday’s grandfather, for example, adjusted to changing conditions by taking up farming, a decision pressed upon him by the General Allotment Act of 1887. Part II. Detailed study of the textPart III. The analysis of the textPara 1. the opening paragraph of the essay is a lyrical description of the author’s ancestral land, which plays a key role in his exploration of his Kiowa identity.Para 2. the author explains his purpose of his visit to Rainy Mountain: to be at his grandmother’s grave.Para 3. it sums up the history of the Kiowas as a Plains Native culture—the golden time and the decline in their history.Para 4. it is about how the Kiowas migrated from western Montana and how the migration transformed the Kiowas.Para 5. the author returns to his grandmother again. Since she is the immediate reason for him to come to Rainy Mountain, she is the link between the author and his ancestors.Para 6. The Kiowas felt a sense of confinement in Yellowstone, Montana.Para 7. this paragraph is a depiction of the landscape which they came upon when they got out of the highlands in Montana. Para 8. in this para the author describes Devil’s Tower and tells the Kiowas’s legend about it.Para 9. the author tells about the last days of the Sun Dance culture by using his grandmother as a witness.Para 10. for the first time, the author concentrates only on his grandmother’s story rather than mixing it with the history of the whole Kiowa tribe. Also for the first time, the author shifts the focus of depicting the lanscape to describing a person—his grandmother Aho as an old woman.Para 11—12 paragraph 11 is about the old houses at Rainy Mountain, which the author’s grandmother and other Kiowas used to live in, but which are now empty. This paragraph serves as a transition between the depiction of Grandma Aho and the reunion at her house.Para 11 and 12 describe the reunions that were once held at the grandmother’s house when the author was a child. We can see the author accepts change and loss as facts of life. He neither denies nor defies them. Imagination helps him strike a balance between them. So, after depicting his dead grandmother’s old house, he brings to life the joy and activity that once filled it. As a child Momaday took part in those events. By re-creating those scenes, he reminds himself of who he is.Part IV. Complete the exercise of the text
