Page 16.
1. Read the second sentence again. What oft-used sentence does it remind you of?
> it reminded me of the books that I read in the past and how that one line is pretty but
does get over-used a lot.
2. What is the kind of language used in the text? Echoing our earlier activity, to which
kind of text would those sentences belong?
> They used the English language. These sentences belong to the descriptive kind of
text.
3. In Eiseley’s words, what might the lesson be? What do you think it means?
> The lesson might be the text telling us that sometimes we meet other people or other
organisms in life that have their own worlds which most of the time didn’t really have us
in before we meet them. We try to poke in their world and try and make a change but
since we are new, we aren’t that important yet but might be needed sometime else. I
think the lesson means that we humans have our own worlds but it doesn’t necessarily
mean that it can only revolve around us therefore we must think of all the other things
that actually do make the world go round..
4. If the spider is a metaphor for humans, then what might Eiseley be saying all along?
> He might be saying that humans in a way, are kind of like the spider that he was
studying therefore made a whole text or novel about it to try and make humans think
about the things they are doing.
> He delivered his message through writing it with his astonishing words creating an
amazing text. He used his experience to tell a new lesson to teach everyone who might
come across his work.
