Robert E. Peary journey to the North Pole
The reading passage and the lecture both are about Robert E. Peary journey to the North Pole. The reading passage provides three reasons to support Robert E. Peary. The lecture casts doubt on the claim made in the passage.
Firstly, the reading passage points out that the National Geographic Society concluded that Peary’s accounts were consistent and persuasive and declared that he had indeed reached the North Pole. This point is challenged by the lecturer. The lecturer states that the committee was composed by the Peary’s close friends with a huge numbers of money. Therefore, the committee is not trustworthy. Secondly, the passage points out that a recent expedition provides support for Peary’s claim that he reached the North Pole in only 37 days because a British explorer named Tom Avery recently made the same trek in less than 37 days. The lecturer insists that Tom Avery’s journey was too different from Peary’s because tom went to the North Pole in favorable conditions whereas Peary went to the North Pole in very unfavorable conditions.
Next, the reading passage elaborates that the photograph that was taken by Peary. Furthermore, the passage states that measuring the shadows in Peary’s photographs makes it possible to calculate the Sun’s position in the sky and provides evidence that he reached to the North Pole. The lecturer argues that Peary’s pictures were photographed a hundred years ago and the photos have become faded. Therefore, it cannot be accurate to measure the shadow of the sun.
In conclusion, the reading and the lecture both are about Robert E. Peary journey to the North Pole. The professor effectively refutes the claims made in the article.
