It is unlikely that aliens caused the power outage because if they did, the people would have seen them. The chances of a neighbor shooting another neighbor are very slim, because charlie should have been able to see Pete Van Horn in the dark from a little distance. It’s not possible for plot to be realistic because Les Goodman’s car started on its own in the 1950s, they blamed the power outage on aliens, and charlie shooting Pete Van Horn is very slim. He could not start the car on his own, they would have had to see the aliens, and they would not shoot each other. In conclusion, the plot is unrealistic and this story is a sci-fi story, but I recommend you read it or watch it. “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” Boom! “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” is about an ordinary street that turns from peaceful to chaos, and how easily people can turn on each other.

The novel tells a story of an unnamed man and his son in who struggle to survive in this horrific environment. I feel that the language in the novel is verbose. McCarthy is blunt in his descriptions. He uses repeated struggles and similar scenes forcing the reader to share the tough experience of the characters. I agree with the author that The Road is the picture of a post-apocalyptic world.

I think Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in a larger conspiracy. I Think this because there were multiple shooters and I don't think it was just him.

What I mean by pushed is he was forced like getting a bribe or getting threatened.
