The protagonist is an important character. She is the one driving the story forward with her journey in the field of chemistry. There might also be her colleagues in the scientific world who play significant roles, either as supporters or as antagonists in her struggle for recognition.
I'm not sure exactly as I haven't read it in detail, but I assume the chemist in the story is an important character. Maybe there are also some colleagues or mentors who play significant roles in her scientific journey.
In a solubility children story, the concept of what solubility actually means is crucial. It's about how a substance breaks down and mixes into another, like sugar vanishing in tea. The role of the solvent, usually water in simple stories, is important. It's the medium in which the dissolution happens. And showing the difference in solubility between various substances, say a soluble powder and an insoluble solid like a pebble, helps kids understand better.
Moreover, essential questions are important for the genre as a whole. They define what historical fiction is and what it can achieve. Without these questions, historical fiction might just be a random mix of historical events and made - up stories. But with these questions, it becomes a way to explore history, human nature, and the relationship between past and present in a more meaningful way.
The questions and examples that proved that ability was more important than education were as follows:
Question: Can a programmer become a good project manager?
For example, if a programmer has a PhD but lacks experience in project management, and another programmer has no degree but has rich experience in project management, who can become a good project manager? The answer was obviously the programmer without a degree.
There were many other examples that proved that ability was more important than education.
- Although Steve graduated from Harvard University, his achievements and leadership did not benefit from his academic qualifications but from his talent, creativity, and innovation.
- Although Bill Gates graduated from Harvard University, his achievements and wealth did not depend on his academic qualifications but on his talent, creativity, and business insight.
- Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba.com, graduated from Hangzhou Normal University, but his achievements and wealth did not depend on his academic qualifications, but on his talent, creativity, and innovative spirit.
Although academic qualifications could provide some knowledge and skills, ability and experience were the most important factors. In some cases, education may not be the most important factor. For example, in the field of start-ups, the success stories of Steve and Jack Ma tell us that talent, creativity and innovation are the most important.
Ability and academic qualifications were not necessarily proportional. In some cases, ability might be more important than academic qualifications. Here are some examples:
Question: Can a programmer become a good CEO?
Answer: There is no simple answer to this question because becoming a good CEO requires not only programming skills but also rich business experience, leadership skills, strategic planning skills, and so on. However, if a programmer had excellent programming skills and rich project experience and could successfully lead a team, then he might become an excellent CEO.
For example:
- Although Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba.com, did not receive any higher education, he had excellent business vision and leadership skills. He successfully led Alibaba.com to become a world-renowned Internet company.
- The founder of Jingdong, Liu Qiangdong, also had no higher education, but he had excellent business vision and strategic planning ability to successfully lead Jingdong to become a world-renowned e-commerce platform.
Ability and academic qualifications were not necessarily proportional. What was important was to have outstanding skills and qualities and to be able to fully develop one's potential.
A chemistry novel can use simple language to explain complex chemistry knowledge. For example, it can compare chemical reactions to everyday events that readers are familiar with.
They make it visual. For example, diagrams in the graphic novels can show how atoms are structured or how chemical reactions occur much more vividly than just text.
