The four passages “Lost Cities, Lost Treasure” ,”How a Melted Bar of Chocolate Change Our Kitchens”, “In Praise of Careful Science”,” A series of Quotations about Error and Discovery”, they talk a lot about mistakes. One says that mistakes caused a certain discoveries; another says that discoveries would happen anyways. Mistakes are key to discovery, they are very important and with we have advanced faster towards something than if we didn’t make the mistake is the first place. The Passage “How

many different cultures. Ancient Greece is known for some of their poets. One famous poet is named Homer. Homer has written Odyssey and The llaid. Homer lived in Troy.

Despite popular belief, a mistake isn’t key to making ground breaking discoveries. Mistakes are not defining factors of discoveries because their consequences often outshine the achievements made and also because although it may seem as though most breakthroughs

different theories presented by archaeologists Schliemann, Dorpfield, Blegen and Korfmann strongly suggest the occurrence of a war in troy and have some links to the Iliad. Despite these links, there is only enough evidence to support the existence of a war in Troy but not explicitly Homer’s

Imagine you are sitting in a lab just to watch your dad work on this new science project of his. When you accidently spill the glass of water next to his computer. You caused him to start over, but good news is he was looking at experiment all wrong. Mistakes can have a huge effect on science. Mistakes teach scientists how to make the object better, people who make the mistakes are remembered in the future, and great discovers that affect human kind are made. Mistakes are a key part of discovery

The famous Greek poet Homer was born sometime between the 12th and 8th centuries BC. He was born the illegitimate son of a woman from Aeolis, the Greek speaking region near Troy. There a seven possible places for homers birth, Smyrna, Chios, Colophon, Salamis, Rhodes, Argos, and Athenia, but no one truly knows. As a young man homer wandered as far as Ithaca.
