Plz help! questions are below! :D STORY: The Elevator by William Sleator

SHORT FILM NAME: The Elevator - Short Horror Film
BY YOU-TUBER: Timothee MEYRIEUX

Martin was similar to the girl in the film because they both felt anxious and paranoid while in the elevator, this was made obvious in the text when Martin would have rather taken the stairs even when he hurt his ankle and the lady was panicking when the button wouldn't work. They both seemed to feel very nervous around elevators, the girl was panicking when the doors wouldn't close and Martin was panicking when the old lady stepped on the elevator. The mysterious figure didn't seem like the fat lady or Martin's father, it seemed like it represented the harmful words Martin's father spoke about him. The figure could represent the coward or the fool that Martin's father makes him seem to be. Always lingering...

Both plots have a very unsettling atmosphere to them. They both have a subtle rising climax that really exceeds during the end.

The elevator teaches that you can't run away from your fears. Running just makes them harder and harder to face in the future. During the short film the lady is desperately trying to get to the next floor but no matter how hard she tries, she is forced to travel to the first floor and face the figure.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
