Chapter 14: Artistic Elements

1. Who was Johann Von Goethe? Was he a great scientist? Why or why not?
 I personally would say that all scientist are a great scientist. However, he wrote a lot of weird stuff that weren't necessarily correct.

3. What does the author mean when he says Mark Twain was prescient on p. 250?
I'm guessing he somehow predicted Satan wearing Polonium.

4. What did the poet Robert Lowell mean when he said his brain lacked little salt? 
Robert Lowell lacked Lithium which is why he was mentally unstable.

5. What other uses does lithium or lithium compounds have besides batteries and an anti-depressant?
 Lithium is used in air conditioners but i have no idea how.

6. Read the note entitle a hobby on p.200 in the back of the book and summarize your understanding in 3-5 sentences.
Well I'll be honest and say that at first I didn't understand it until I searched it up. So basically the words left of the equal sign equal the words on the right of the equal sign. I'm going to find this out because it seems impossible.
