The Haircut
When I woke up on Saturday, mom said I was a sheepdog with my long,
shaggy hair, and it was time for me to get my hair cut. When I looked at her, she
was a zebra, half hidden behind the drapes of my overgrown bangs. I couldn't
help it. I laughed. She was right, my hair had to be cut.
The barber's chair was a tower, and he pumped it higher and higher. I
didn't really mind. I was an explorer, looking at the world in a whole new way.
The pieces of hair on the floor were an exotic carpet of strange brown fibers
that criss-crossed in a crazy pattern. The floor was an odd new planet, and I was
an astronaut looking down from above. The barber pumped the chair again, and
I was a rocket/coming in for a landing. I couldn't believe the adventure was over
so soon.
On the way home, we stopped at the store to buy some milk. Unfortunately,
there was some amazing sale going on at the time. We were tiny fish swimming
in a sea of people. I couldn't wait to get out of there and go home. The drive
home was a frustrating eexperience, because the holiday traffic had turned the
street into a parking lot. I hope it's a long time before I'm a sheepdog again!​

In the folowing passage from Great Astronomers by Robert Stewall Ball, the author states that he will trace the developments in astronomy
from the time of Ptolemy to the nineteenth century. Based on the content and style of the excerpt, what kind of audience did Ball primarily have
in mind when he was writing this book?
The history of astronomy thus becomes (nseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due. In the
ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lves and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of
astronomy has been created. We shal commence with Prolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus,
gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see the mighty revolution in our conceptions
of the universe which are associated with the name of Copernicus. We then pass to those periods ilumined by the genius of Galileo and
Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers, by whose industry and genius the boundaries of
human knowledge have been so greatly extended. Our history will be brought down late enough to include some of the illustrious
astronomers who laboured in the generation which has just passed away
