00:03

Okay Snipers last one in the series of eleven celebrating

00:06

neil armstrong and buzz and eagle You know things are

00:11

not as plans even be smooth but then looks movement

00:14

going Finally after two and a half is he's only

00:16

time to go All right Which sense Most effectively concludes

00:22

the essay went last sentence of the whole thing The

00:25

long day was done but the eagle was gnome or

00:27

rest Um kind of weird No more rest ful What

00:32

What is that I'd say they were back in the

00:35

eagle Not on tiny cabin noise home him and sound

00:37

sound sound kind of legend but that goes no more

00:40

rescue Just sounds like a weird phrasing like old timey

00:43

british thing that's kind of out of context In the

00:46

whole essay here We're trying to make you sensitive to

00:48

these little subtle things because well that's basically what you're

00:51

being tested on All right Well the essay starts with

00:54

sleep mentions sleep a couple of times in the middle

00:57

and even has a title that instant the idea of

01:00

sleep or lack thereof on that's a bad thing a

01:04

sleep reference is therefore a nice and tidy way to

01:07

circular early include the passage it's also a way to

01:11

signal that the narrative has ended The astronauts will finally

01:15

reach that elusive goal of sleeping right like four weddings

01:18

and a funeral he always one end in a funeral

01:21

and a death and or a birthright That's how movies

01:23

work well so that's it so it's deep it was

01:26

time to go home to earth for a good night's

01:29

sleep Yeah that sounds reasonable It's the end All right

01:33

Loserville one's ending with a sleepless eagle leaves the narrative

01:36

open It also leaves the astronauts still in space Now

01:39

if you're doing this is a movie you would end

01:41

with a of course because it leaves it open for

01:43

a sequel When the alien grabs this ship and says

01:46

in space no one can hear you scream and then

01:48

everyone screams right Well for the story to be complete

01:51

we need to know even indirectly that well the astronauts

01:54

will return to earth and that they will sleep for

01:57

chance to dream eerie sunlight in the here has similar

02:00

unfinished effect on the narrative talking about the astronauts duty

02:04

in a paragraph about a restless journey back to earth

02:08

comes out of nowhere Plus we were never told what

02:11

their duty was in the first place No it's not 00:02:14.423 --> [endTime] that kind of duty
