Explain what the blank pages in Sirian's book signify. Use evidence from the text to support your position. Your answer should b
Nezavi [6.7K]

The Sirian's book was supposed to be written by Micromegas, an inhabitant of a distant planet who was visiting the Earth with a creature he had met in Saturn. He promised the humans of Earth that he would hand them a miniature volume for their convenience, that would contain the nature of everything, so that nobody would have to debate about the ideas of different philosophers anymore.  

However, when the book was opened in the Academy of Science in Paris, the secretary noticed the pages were blank.

This can be interpreted in different ways, as Micromegas was able to make different comparisons in his journey. First, with his Saturnian companion, and then with the small humans of Earth. He had a lot of knowledge, but was also open to learn new things. In the end, he understood that there was more to proportion than size and distance.

After circumnavigating the planet in 36 hours, and listening to the people in the ship, he learned about humanity's ignorance, wars and injustice. He noticed they liked to quote different philosophers, without necessarily understanding what they meant. Most likely, he decided to leave Earthlings to evolve at their own pace, with their own singularities rather than showing them a wisdom of ages that was not theirs.

The blank pages may mean that he wanted humanity to write their own philosophy instead of exposing them to the knowledge of a different planet which was completely different in size, age and wisdom. Having seen human nature with his magnifying glass, the gift of knowledge could be used for evil purposes rather than to their benefit. Last of all, life is complex and no book could be written about humans, except than by humans themselves.

How is the word laud and welcome different
Luba_88 [7]

Hi my dear friend,

Definition of laud: praise (a person or their achievements) highly, especially in a public context.

welcome:an instance or manner of greeting someone.

I dont see how these could be similar but they are similar in greeting someone. Yet one is greeting someones achievements and the other greeting someone to a place ( home, food area etc.)

~Thank you

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Increasing the space mission efforts

Explanation:

United States President John F. Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon speech (September 12, 1962) was exclusively to persuade  the American people to support the the efforts of space mission, and to land a man on the moon.

During the visit John Glen (who had already orbited the earth on February 20, 1962) was was also with the President, hence, the speech was certainly not about launching John Glen in the Atlas.
