Read this passage.
first of all, if someone says your dream is
impossible, they're wrong. you can't prove that
something is impossible—all you know is that
[it] hasn't been done yet. people said no one
could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir
edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed
down upon the world from its summit. people
said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville
and wilbur wright made the first sustained
powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine.
people said, "okay, we admit that someone
could climb mount everest, and we admit that
man has learned to fly, but no one will ever,
ever walk on the face of the moon." if we can
send three men a quarter of a million miles
away and bring them home safely, is there any
great task we cannot accomplish?

a. the author shares historical information about the wright brothers.

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
