...dialogue from the film was taken directly from real mission loop recordings. However, the famous and commonly misquoted line, “Houston, we have a problem” was actually “Houston, we’ve had a problem here” in the real mission. It has been reported that Tom Hanks himself suggested changing this line in order to accurately express the urgency felt in that moment. Another highlight of the film is Howard’s direction. Ron Howard carefully guides the actors to portray some of the intense plot points accurately and believably, making the film feel that much more real. For example, one incident occurred after the oxygen tank explosion, where there was an overflow of carbon dioxide, and the NASA engineers on earth had to work quickly to figure out how to repair the issue using only the basic materials available on the spacecraft. The tension and stress portrayed by even the smallest of characters was done perfectly and felt very tangible to audiences, as this incident did really happen at this time and these emotions were truly experienced. Many who have met Jim Lovell and the other astronauts claim that the actors portrayed these real people very accurately and authentically. Perhaps the biggest change for the film was the portrayal of astronaut Ken Mattingly (played by Gary Sinese) and his involvement in the mission. In real life, Mattingly was in the MCC in Houston during the actual launch. However, in the film, he is seen watching the launch from a few miles away in Florida. Also...

...How to Read and Review a Scientific Journal Article: Writing Summaries and Critiques Definition of Genre Summaries and critiques are two ways to write a review of a scientific journal article. Both types of writing ask you first to read and understand an article from the primary literature about your topic. The summary involves briefly but accurately stating the key points of the article for a reader who has not read the original article. The critique begins by summarizing the article and then analyzes and evaluates the author’s research. Summaries and critiques help you learn to synthesize information from different sources and are usually limited to two pages maximum. Actions to Take 1. Skim the article without taking notes: Read the abstract. The abstract will tell you the major findings of the article and why they matter. Read first for the “big picture.” Note any terms or techniques you need to define. Jot down any questions or parts you don’t understand. If you are unfamiliar with any of the key concepts in the article, look them up in a textbook. 2. Re-read the article more carefully: Pay close attention to the “Materials and Methods” (please note that in some journals this section is at the very end of the paper) and “Results” sections. Ask yourself questions about the study, such as: o Was the study repeated? o What was the sample size? Is this representative of the larger population? o What variables were held constant? Was there...

...How to Write a Critique The critique is a rigorous critical reading of a passage. As such, it picks up where the objective summary leaves off. In fact, a critique often includes a brief summary so that its readers will be able to quickly grasp the main ideas and proofs of the passage under examination. Critiques come in all shapes and sizes, but a good way to get used to writing critically is to plan your earliest critiques along the following lines. First, read the passage thoroughly. Make plenty of notes, ask lots of questions, and highlight or underline anything you may wish to quote in your paper. Spend some time on this step. It is impossibly to adequately critique something if you don't fully understand it. Next, write a summary. Identify the author's main point (thesis) and list the types of proofs he or she employs to persuade the reader to believe or accept the thesis. For example, does the author use historical anecdotes, quote noted authorities, provide statistical evidence, or appeal to a reader's sense of patriotism or generosity? These are all common types of proofs used in persuasive writing. You should also try to figure out why the author is writing, and to whom. Remember that the purpose of a paper and its intended audience can affect the way the paper is written. Now, set your own agreement or disagreement with the author aside for a moment and investigate the validity of his or her argument. Does the author provide complete and accurate information...
