Answer:
Stephen King made his directorial debut here and he hasn't yet gone back to the chair, which is a real shame. Not because he's got tremendous talent behind the camera but instead because he could have delivered so many more, campy, non-sense movies. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE is as bad as it's reputation would have you believe but at the same time it enters the "so bad it's good" range because of how silly it all is. Based on King's short story 'Trucks,' what basically happens is a group of people are stranded inside a truck stop as the trucks outside start to take over the world and go on a killing rampage. This is the type of bad film that everyone should really check out because it's amazing to see how poorly the final product turned out to be. In recent years King has admitted that he didn't know what he was doing and that he was snorting cocaine at the time and perhaps this is why everything here doesn't make since. I think the original story has some major logic flaws but perhaps King just didn't explain them well enough here. I still think there are some very campy and outrageous moments that make this worth viewing and most of them happen early on as the machines start to come to life. There's a coke machine death sequence, which is just priceless and campy. Then we have a steam roller death, which I'm sure looked wonderful before the MPAA got a hold of it. While watching the film I kept wondering if there was any sort of point to any of this. The movie has a very bad pace and it really just seems to go on and on without anyone knowing where to stop it. I think taking out ten or so minutes probably would have also helped it. Seeing people like Emilio Estevez and Pat Hingle adds some charm but the majority of the characters are just annoying.

Compare the theme of fate vs. Free will as it is portrayed in the Oedipus myth with how it is portrayed in "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs.
Answer:
The White household in "The Monkey's Paw" misunderstands the force of destiny, with disastrous repercussions. Mr. White ignores the cautions concerning the monkey's paw and expresses his first request of two hundred pounds, merely to have his desire granted by his son 's demise. Eventually, this narrative emphasizes on the foolishness of striving to manipulate fate and bend it to one's selfish benefit

explain the availability of magazines....plzz answer this soon, i need it soon.thank u
Answer:
A magazine is an ammunition storage and feeding device for a repeating firearm, either integral within the gun (internal/fixed magazine) or externally attached (detachable magazine). The magazine functions by holding several cartridges within itself and sequentially pushing each one into a position where it may be readily loaded into the barrel chamber by the firearm's moving action. The detachable magazine is sometimes colloquially referred to as a "clip", although this is technically inaccurate since a clip is actually an accessory device used to help loading ammunitions into a magazine.[1][2][3]
Read the passage from The Odyssey - Teiresias. One narrow strait may take you through his blows: denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates. When you make landfall on Thrinakia first and quit the violet sea, dark on the land you'll find the grazing herds of Helios by whom all things are seen, all speech is known. Avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent, and hard seafaring brings you all to Ithaka. But if you raid the beeves, I see destruction for ship and crew. Which excerpt from the passage best identifies the conflict that Teiresias predicts as partially a character versus character conflict
Answer: restrain of shipments.
Explanation:
A character vs. character conflict, ocurs when two characters have needs, desires, beliefs or motivations which place them in opposition with one another.
The excerpt from the passage that best identifies the conflict that Teiresias predicts as partially a character versus character conflict is the restrain of shipments. It should be noted that the restrain of shipments in this case is regarded to be partially a character versus character conflict.

In 35 words or fewer, what's the last story you heard that was memorable? What about the story made you remember it?
Answer and Explanation:
Curtis Jackson was shot 9 times and had his life almost snatched from him. Most people would lose their lives at the impact of one bullet, Curtis didn't. It doesn't immediately add up but somehow it does add up. Curtis Jackson's life flashed right before his eyes but his vision got even sharper, his mission and goal became immediately urgent, and clear. He began to live in the truest sense of the word "living". It may seem that destiny had led his shooter to his car, that fateful afternoon.
This story from 50 cent's autobiography is a constant reminder that life is like a flash of light and the only way to truly appreciate it is to know it's transience and maximise every moment.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which evidence best supports the inference that Sandra Cisneros called her book The House on Mango Street to honor the moment when she first understood the cultural divide? (3) I think there's a kind of lie that our education teaches us—boot straps and hard work, the American Dream. And you swallow it. (4) You could go around oblivious to it for a long time, 21 years in my case, until you go to Iowa and you realize what a privilege it is to be in that writing program. For me, it was a moment of houses, and reading about Nabokov's house that he left behind in Russia, and Baroness Blixen's house in Africa when she had a coffee plantation. All of these books were written from a perspective of people who owned their own houses and lived in houses that by my standards were roomy, comforting, and safe, and something one dreamt about with longing and loving memories. I didn't have those kinds of images in my life. (5) The moment that I discovered my voice was also the moment I discovered class difference. I was in a seminar on memory and imagination.
