① A large number of inventions require years of arduous research and development before they
are perfected For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent the incandescent light bulb before he finally succeeded History is replete with numerous other examples of people trying, yet failing to make inventions before they eventually succeeded Yet some inventions have come about not through hard work but simply by accident in most cases, when someone unintentionally invented something, the inventor was attempting to create something else For example, in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was attempting to make a new substance that could be used to refrigerate items He mixed some chemicals together Then, he put them into a pressurized container and cooled the mixture By the time his experiment was complete, he had a new invention It was not a new substance that could be used for refrigeration though Instead, he had invented Teflon, which is today most commonly used to make nonstick pots and pans Similarly, decades earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia He was attempting to create a tonic that people
could use whenever they had headaches While he was not successful in that endeavor, he managed
to invent Coca-Cola, the world - famous carbonated soft drink

In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times determinedly old-fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality other fiction Hers is a world of violence, insanity, Fractured love, and hopeless loneliness Although some of it appears to come from her own direct observations, her dreams, and her fears, much more is clearly from the
experiences of others Her first novel With Shuddering Fall (1964), dealt with stock car racing,
though she had never seen a race In Them (1969) she focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her material from the deep impression made on her by the problems of one of her students Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the motivations,
