PLEASE CONSIDER ONLY THE CONTENT FOUND IN PAGES 90 THROUGH 180 OF THE BOOK

Do you have a clear sense of the story being told to you, looking back on another time with a more modern outlook? Is the perspective of the storytelling consistent? Do you have a sense of an explicit or implied narrator?

Do you get lots of information in summary? Are you provided with conclusions and clear understandings of how to judge the events and people involved?

What chains of Cause & Effect do you see operating?

Trace the stories of three characters that exist within this narrative:

Katherine Johnson; Dorothy Vaughan; and Mary Jackson

Is each one an individual story? Do their stories all center on thematic issues and not just the circumstances of working in the nation’s chief aeronautical lab?
