Ummm....what is the question?
Answer:
Dear Headmaster,
I’m writing to let you know some ideas I have that might be useful to improve my academic performance as well as that of my classmates.
I’ve recently discovered there´s a large amount of information in the library that hasn´t been digitalized nor listed on our online catalogs that could be very useful if more available. Some students are already sharing information about these hidden gems and would be happy to make it public through institutional channels.
Furthermore, many students struggle to get some of the assigned books, either for their unavailability on campus, their high price to buy, or the lack of new publications of a specific book. And yet many will be willing to trade used books for those they need. A book trade fair could be a good idea!
Finally, I´m a little concerned about the lack of options in the cafeteria. I know this might seem like a minor issue, but many of us are vegetarians or have dietary issues that should be addressed. Some students not only started bringing their own food but have also started selling meals to their classmates as a way to make some money. Maybe a food court that allowed them a more institutional setting could help us all.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks, and best wishes,
In these lines, we hear that Kitty is constantly coughing, which drives her mother crazy. She wants her to stop, and argues that she is getting on her nerves:
<em>"Stop coughing, Kitty. Please! You're getting on my nerves."</em>
To this statement, Kitty's father replies that <em>"Kitty has no discretion in her coughs."</em>
This is an example of sarcasm, used by Kitty's father to make fun of Kitty's mother. He knows that no one can "time" their coughs to someone else's convenience. However, the statement is not understood by Kitty's mother. Sarcasm refers to the use of a witty and sharp remark that uses irony to show contempt. In this example, it is clear that the father feels some contempt for the mother, which is emphasized by the fact that she does not understand the ironic effect of his words.

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.
