Answer:
I think the answer is number 2
Explanation:
Question #1:
In the short film, the girl is seen to start getting frantic when the elevator stopped and anxious which is why she pressed the elevator buttons to see if she could get to the floor faster and finally escape this "nightmare". in the story Martin describes his fear of being stuck in the elevator for hours and if they would would be able to get him out if he pressed a button and all went wrong when that happen, just being in their for hours was enough for him to want to not be in elevator at all. The similarities between the girl in the film and Martin was that in both scenes of the story and film, they were anxiously waiting to get out of the elevator, worried about the possibilities that may become reality. Some examples of this in the story are, "Perhaps it was the way the mechanism shuddered in a kind of exhaustion each time it left the floor, as though it might never reach the next one." Another example is, " His eyes fixed on the numbers over the door that blinked on and off haltingly, as if any moment they might simpliy give up." One last example is, "Sometimes he forced himself to look away from them, to the Emergency Stop button or the red Alarm button. What would happen if he pushed one of them❓Would a bell ring ❓ And if it did, how would they get him out ❓"
Question #2:
In the short film, the mysterious figure is seen to be starting at the lady as she elevator finally stops which is when the lady only felt fear and was desperate to escape, but in Martin's case, the fat lady on the elevator was only to be described my Martin to only be starting at him which filled him with a bunch of negative ideas of outcomes or schemes that the lady could be planning, just worrying overall about the woman in the elevators intentions. The situation that both protagonists were put in are similar because they were both worried about the intentions of the beings (mystrious figure/fat lady) in front of them. One example in the story is, " She was still watching him. Here nose tilited up; there was a large space between her nostrils and her upper lip, giving her a piggish look. He looked away again, clenching his teeth, fighting the impulse to squeeze his eyes shut against her." Another example is, " She had to be crazy. Why else would she stare at him this way❓ What was she going to do next❓" One last example is, " He thought about her all day. Did she live in the building ❓He had never seen her before, and the building wasn't very big-only four apartments on each floor. It seemed likely that she didn't live there and had only been visiting sombody. But if she was only visiting somebody, why was she leaving the building at seven thirty in the morning❓"
Answer:At approximately 4:40 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, 1911, as the workday was ending, a fire flared up in a scrap bin under one of the cutter's tables at the northeast corner of the 8th floor.[13] The first fire alarm was sent at 4:45 p.m. by a passerby on Washington Place who saw smoke coming from the 8th floor.[14] Both owners of the factory were in attendance and had invited their children to the factory on that afternoon.[15] The Fire Marshal concluded that the likely cause of the fire was the disposal of an unextinguished match or cigarette butt in the scrap bin, which held two months' worth of accumulated cuttings by the time of the fire.[16] Beneath the table in the wooden bin were hundreds of pounds of scraps left over from the several thousand shirtwaists that had been cut at that table. The scraps piled up from the last time the bin was emptied, coupled with the hanging fabrics that surrounded it; the steel trim was the only thing that was not highly flammable.[13] Although smoking was banned in the factory, cutters were known to sneak cigarettes, exhaling the smoke through their lapels to avoid detection.[17] A New York Times article suggested that the fire may have been started by the engines running the sewing machines. A series of articles in Collier's noted a pattern of arson among certain sectors of the garment industry whenever their particular product fell out of fashion or had excess inventory in order to collect insurance. The Insurance Monitor, a leading industry journal, observed that shirtwaists had recently fallen out of fashion, and that insurance for manufacturers of them was "fairly saturated with moral hazard." Although Blanck and Harris were known for having had four previous suspicious fires at their companies, arson was not suspected in this case.[15]The building's south side, with windows marked X from which 50 women jumped62 people jumped or fell from windowsA bookkeeper on the 8th floor was able to warn employees on the 10th floor via telephone, but there was no audible alarm and no way to contact staff on the 9th floor.[18] According to survivor Yetta Lubitz, the first warning of the fire on the 9th floor arrived at the same time as the fire itself.[19] Although the floor had a number of exits, including two freight elevators, a fire escape, and stairways down to Greene Street and Washington Place, flames prevented workers from descending the Greene Street stairway, and the door to the Washington Place stairway was locked to prevent theft by the workers; the locked doors allowed managers to check the women's purses.[20] The foreman who held the stairway door key had already escaped by another route.[21] Dozens of employees escaped the fire by going up the Greene Street stairway to the roof. Other survivors were able to jam themselves into the elevators while they continued to operate.[22]Within three minutes, the Greene Street stairway became unusable in both directions.[23] Terrified employees crowded onto the single exterior fire escape – which city officials had allowed Asch to erect instead of the required third staircase[13] – a flimsy and poorly anchored iron structure that may have been broken before the fire. It soon twisted and collapsed from the heat and overload, spilling about 20 victims nearly 100 feet (30 m) to their deaths on the concrete pavement below. The remainder waited until smoke and fire overcame them.The fire department arrived quickly but was unable to stop the flames, as their ladders were only long enough to reach as high as the 7th floor.[1] The fallen bodies and falling victims also made it difficult for the fire department to approach the building.Elevator operators Joseph Zito[24] and Gaspar Mortillaro saved many lives by traveling three times up to the 9th floor for passengers, but Mortillaro was eventually forced to give up when the rails of his elevator buckled under the heat. Some victims pried the elevator doors open and jumped into the empty shaft, trying to slide down the cables or to land on top of the car. The weight and impacts of these bodies warped the elevator car and made it impossible for Zito to make another attempt. William Gunn Shepard, a reporter at the tragedy, would say that "I learned a new sound that day, a sound more horrible than description can picture – the thud of a speeding living body on a stone sidewalk".[25]A large crowd of bystanders gathered on the street, witnessing 62 people jumping or falling to their deaths from the burning building.[26] Louis Waldman, later a New York Socialist state assemblyman, described the scene years later:[27]One Saturday afternoon in March of that year—March 25, to be precise—I was sitting at one of the reading tables in the old Astor Library. … It was a raw, unpleasant day and the comfortable reading room seemed a delightful place to spend the remaining few hours until the library closed.
