MENTOR TEXT | ARGUMENT

UNIT 2 INTRODUCTION

MENTOR TEXT | ARGUMENT

LeavingMain Street

This selection is an example of an argument, a type of nonfiction in which an author

states and defends a position on a topic. This is similar to the type of writing you will develop in the Performance-

Based Assessment at the end of the unit. READ IT As you read, look at

the way the writer advances the argument that people are born to explore the unknown.

In July, 2015, the world watched in awe as close-up photographs

of Pluto streamed back to Earth from three billion miles away.

The spacecraft New Horizons had traveled nine years to study the

dwarf planet at the edge of our solar system. As a result of the mission, scientists discovered that Pluto is not

just a giant ball of ice. It has a molten core, tectonic plates, and

volcanic activity, just as Earth does. It may even support some

form of life. The New Horizons mission has been hailed as a

triumph of human ingenuity, and a huge leap forward for the

future of space exploration.Yet it almost didn’t happen. The mission had to overcome some

serious challenges before it could get underway—such as repeated

threats to defund it. There have always been naysayers who’ve questioned the need

for space exploration. The argument goes that the United States

has more important things to spend its money on, such as ending

hunger and poverty. Others argue that a successful space program adds to our

national prestige, helps the economy, creates jobs, and improves

national security. It inspires students to pursue innovative projects

and careers in science and technology. At a cost of six-tenths of a

percent of the federal budget, it’s well worth the price: The cost of

exploration is vastly outweighed by the idea of extending

humankind’s sphere of influence to outer space.

But these are not the real reasons for continuing the space

program, says Michael Griffin in Air & Space Magazine. Griffin

makes the point that people go to space for reasons that are not

necessarily logical. In other words, money doesn’t have much to

TEST PRACTICE

Multiple Choice These questions are based on the short story and radio play versions of “Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed.” Choose the best answer to each question.

1. In both the story and the play, when the family first arrives on Mars, what does Mr. Bittering want to do right away?

A He wants to visit the ancient Martian cities.

B He wants to get back on the rocket and return to Earth.

C He wants to get to work building a rocket.

D He wants to start building a villa in the mountains.

2. Read paragraphs 118 to 121 from the story and the transcript of a similar section in the radio play. What happens in the story that does not happen in the play?

Short Story

“Here you are, Harry.” Sam handed him a pocket mirror. “Take a look at yourself.”

Mr. Bittering hesitated, and then raised the mirror to his face.

There were little, very dim flecks of new gold captured in the blue of his eyes.

“Now look what you’ve done,” said Sam a moment later. “You’ve broken my mirror.”

Radio Play

SAM: Is that so? Harry, what color are your eyes?

HARRY: My eyes? They’re blue.

SAM: Take a look in this mirror. See for yourself.

HARRY: [gasps] No! They’re turning yellow.

SAM: Welcome to the club, Harry.

F Harry gasps when he sees himself.

G Harry looks at himself in a mirror.

H Harry sees that his eyes are turning yellow.

J Harry breaks the mirror.

3. At the end of both the story and the play, what do members of the rescue team start to do?

A They start to repair the houses the townspeople left behind.

B They develop a plan to drive the Martians out of their villas.

C They start to give Earth names to the mountains, hills, and canals.

D They prepare to leave Mars because they failed in their mission.
