Nancy took a breath and gathered her thoughts. She imagined that passing through the gray-zone door into Level 4 was like a spacewalk, except that instead of going into outer space, you went into inner space, which was full of the pressure of life trying to get inside your suit. People went into Level 4 areas all the time at the Institute, particularly the civilian animal caretakers. But going into a containment zone to perform a necropsy on an animal that had died of an amplified unknown hot agent was something a little different. This was high-hazard work.

The Hatchet by Gary Paulsen

Which reason would most effectively refute the counterclaim?
Counterclaim: In addition to writing acclaimed lyrics, Bob Dylan has written both prose and poetry.
I have read Dylan’s book of poetry, Tarantula, and his memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, and think that both books are worthy of the Nobel Prize in Literature. I just don’t think that Dylan’s song lyrics should be awarded in the same category as his books.
It is true that Bob Dylan has published traditional poetry and prose. However, neither of the books was very good, and neither won prestigious awards. If the Nobel Prize in Literature considered all writers of at least two mediocre books, the award would mean nothing.
It is true that Bob Dylan has published traditional poetry and prose. However, one book of poetry and one memoir would not qualify him for the prize. The prize was awarded based on his songwriting, which does not qualify as literature.

The prejudice against Nnaemeka’s marriage was not confined to his little village. In Lagos, especially among his people who worked there, it showed itself in a different way. Their women, when they met at their village meeting, were not hostile to Nene. Rather, they paid her such excessive deference as to make her feel she was not one of them. But as time went on, Nene gradually broke through some of this prejudice and even began to make friends among them. Slowly and grudgingly they began to admit that she kept her home much better than most of them. –“Marriage Is a Private Affair,” Chinua Achebe Read the passage from both the feminist and historical perspectives.
