Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen. From this well-stocked basement came a whole new set of really neat projects. My younger brother, Mitch, and his friends, as well as some of my own friends, would come after school to help. At sixteen I was now a young entrepreneur, paying them for their help. I was surprised by the number of orders I was getting for more and more equipment. Soon I didn't have time to build and design new things. Giving over this work to other kids gave me more time to do what I wanted to do. This went on after school and all summer long.

What can you conclude about Dean from the excerpt?

His ultimate goal was to create jobs for his brother and his friends.
His main interest was designing and inventing new things.
He lacked the motivation to build the equipment by himself.
He valued money more than he valued his brother and friends.

(enter lady macbeth.) duncan: see, see, our honour'd hostess! — the love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we as love. herein i teach you how you shall bid god ild us for your pains, and us for your trouble. he will meet his death in the castle, which he considers a pleasant place. his praise for inverness and his hostess, lady macbeth, is deceptive. duncan secretly plans to give macbeth's title to donalbain. the hostess he praises is actually plotting his murder.

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.
