TPO 30 Integrated Writing
A little over 2,200 years ago, the Roman navy attacked the Greek port city of Syracuse. According to some ancient historians, the Greeks defended themselves with an ingenious weapon called a “burning mirror”: a polished copper surface curved to focus the Sun’s rays onto Roman ships, causing them to catch fire. However, we have several reasons to suspect that the story of the burning mirror is just a myth and the Greeks of Syracuse never really built such a device.
The reading claims the greek an ingenious weapon called a burning mirror is only a myth and never built. The author elaborates his viewpoints by providing three main reasons. Nevertheless, the professor believes that it may be bulit and was practical; so, refutes each of the author's stand-points.
First, the reading avers that the ancient greek did not have such a advanced technology becuase it needs a very precise parabolic curvature for manufacturing copper sheets. However, the professor refutes this concept by stating that they did <span style="font-size: 19.36px;">not </span> need single copper to manufacturing the weapon, and could be some pieces of mirors in order to parabolic th ships.
Furthermore, the article asserts that the weapon required a very long time about 10 minute and ships did<span style="font-size: 19.36px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 19.36px;">not</span> move to weapon become practical and effective for woody ships. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up the fact that not all parts of the ship made from wood and indicates to the sticky part which called pitche which is easily set on fire in seconds. In addition, she states that it could be impacted even on the moving ships.
Finally, the article posits that same technology like flaming arrows which set ships on fire from exact distance and power; hence, the did<span style="font-size: 19.36px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 19.36px;">not</span> need extra technology. Contrary, the lecturer casts doubt on this claim by stating that enemies were familar with flaming arrows and saw the arrows and put them off gradually. Also, she states that the burning mirror technology would unobserving and set the ships on fire at seconds whithout knowing it was coming and could increase fears on enemies perfectly.
