2. What event sets the rising action in motion?
After a larger woman gets onto the elevator with Martin, and unlike anyone else on elevators, she looks right into his soul the entire time. Something else that was important was she nearly took up the entire elevator, leaving little to no room for Martin. 5. What details in lines 121-139 suggest a conflict between father and son? Martin was already nervous to even tell his dad, which isn't right. When he tells him, his dad gets angry right away, and starts going off on the poor little guy. Which in my Opinion is no way to deal with children. 6. In lines 145-160 the story takes an unexpected turn. How might this development affect Martin's conflict? He fractures his leg, so after he gets home, he won't have to ride the elevator for the next week or so. Hence he won't have to be in the elevator with the overweight woman anymore. 7. Judging only by line 175, the climax of the story, is Martin in danger? Explain your opinion. Yes, the way I heard her say "Hello Martin" was just very creepy. And what button is she pushing to stop? As far as I am concerned there aren't too many good stop buttons. 8. The author ends this story at the climax. What is your opinion of the plot's development and of leaving the conflict unresolved? Explain. I hate it when authors do this, it is down right silly! I won't be reading any of his stories any time soon. I thought everything was leading up to be a good jaw dropping finish, it certainly wasn't. How easy it is to just start saying a bunch of conflicts and end the story before you get to any of them, it is ridiculous!
