Can anyone explain them to me in a way that I undertand? Or point me to a website or three that explains it? The sites I've visited were . . . less than useful

I've never heard of it. Though eight anything makes me think of the ba-gua, a Taoist tool used in Feng Shui.

I guess the reversal is like that part in "Cujo" where the apparently dead dog has one last hiccup of life. I hate that. Ever since seeing "Cujo" (at the age of ten) theatrical reversals stick out like a sore thumb to me. And I've had zero interest in reading Stephen King. Another annoying example was in the Ewok war, where for a brief moment the battle was turning against the Ewoks for no apparent reason.

I never saw Cujo. But I saw The Shining when I was, what, eight? Now that's disturbing. And not at all appropriate for someone that young. I had nightmares for two years. Seriously.

It's one interpretation of a watered down version of Aristotle's poetics. The book itself is inspired, accurate, and it's only 60 pages.
