Yes, it is true. Here is the exact quote:

"But then again, this has not been much of a mystery to me. Knowing the history of DeBeers and their cruel, racist, vicious tactics to keep diamond miners from keeping back some of the diamonds for themselves, if caught, the overseers of the DeBeers Corporation (a Dutch colonial empire built off the blood of black Zimbabweans of the country formerly known as Rhodesia) would have the black miners hobbled to keep them from running away."

What movie has the line 'He didn't get out of the cockadoodie car'?

Stephen King's Misery. I can't remember if that line of dialogue is in the movie, but it's definitely in the book. It's when Paul Sheldon and Annie Wilkes are discussing the idea of deus ex machina (although they never use that term).Annie complains about the way Paul "cheated" her favorite character, Misery, back to life. She says that it's like the chapter plays she saw at the movies when she was a kid. In one episode, the hero is trapped in a burning car that's gone off a cliff, and in the next episode, they reveal that he had already escaped from the car before it went off the cliff. She is very angry that the writers "cheated" the hero out of the situation, because in the former episode, "he didn't get out of the cockadoodie car!"

(had, has, is, do or did depending of what Annie would have said after)


Why do you think Helen behaves so badly at her homecoming dinner the miracle worker?

Helen has always been allowed to have her own way. Her parents, like most parents, have no training or experience in raising a deaf-blind child. They cannot communicate with her, and they can't discipline her, either. Helen throws tantrums not because she is bad, but because she is so frustrated at her inability to see and hear, but most of all, to communicate. Rather than let her kick and throw things, the Kellers let her have the run of the house and eat from their dinner plates. In the two weeks that Helen has had no contact with anyone but Annie, she has learned to be very obedient. She knows that Annie will not punish her harshly, but she will not let her get away with anything, either. Once Helen and Annie return to the house, Helen is immediately spoiled and indulged again. Order turns to chaos. As Annie says, "take her out of my hands and it all falls apart!"
