Read these lines from Longfellow's poem "The Heights by Great Men Reached and kept

But they, while their companions slept,

Were toiling upward through the night.

How do these lines from Longfellow's poem best compare to the author's fictional portrayal of

Michael Faraday in "Michael Faraday's World"?

After attending Sir Humphry Davy's first lecture, Faraday spends several weeks

recopying the notes he took during the lecture.

While working at the bookbinder's shop, Faraday reads the "E" volume of the

Encyclopedia Britannica, but only the entry about electricity.

The author explains that Faraday would often drag himself to bed at night after he

learned something in his makeshift laboratory at the bookbinder's shop.

In Faraday's story, the author describes how Faraday spent hours late at night in the

back of the bookbinder's shop working on scientific experiments.
