3. Carver was inspired by the Wisdom of Solomon story from the Bible when he wrote Popular Mechanics. In this story, two women who are arguing over ownership of a baby bring their case to King Solomon for resolution. Solomon offers to cut the baby in half for them. The false mother agrees, but the real, "true" mother says she'd rather see her baby go to the wrong person than see it killed. Because of this woman's selflessness, Solomon recognizes that she is the real mother and awards her custody of the child.
