Essay 3

The only controversial issue that I see growing worldwide is pregnancy. Everywhere we look now and days people young and old are pregnant. There are teens as young as 13 dealing with the unknown outcomes of sex. Parents run from the issue so they wont have to face the thought that their child is entering adulthood. A sex education class will help educate students on not only pregnancy but STD's as well. Its better to know because some diseases cant be cured. One second of pleasure could cause a lifetime of pain. Furthermore some teens cant talk to their parents because they are afraid to be judged or yelled at, but talking to peers among the same age group could be beneficial.

Essay 4

My topic of discussion for essay 4 is Misery by Stephen King. I choosed to write a position paper on the abuse Annie inflicts on Paul. Most might not think he was abused but Paul was almost seen as being tortured. She made him drink mop water with his pills, paralyzed him so he couldn't walk, and made him write stories against his will. The controversial issue could have been hostage as well but I don't view that as a standard issue. Annie was mean and cruel to Paul. She went from being a number 1 fan too the number 1 psycho. I don't believe Paul will ever be able to live a regular life knowing that there are other fans out there that feel the same way she does. His only piece comes from the satisfaction knowing that Annie is dead.

Essay 5

For the character analysis of The Green Mile I would like to explore more than one character. John Edgecomb was the main character telling the story that helps identify the whole cast of the movie. John was a corrections officer that worked on The Green Mile in E Block of the prison unit. Everyday he faced trials and pain dealing with Percy, a cruel guard, and the reality of execution. I find this important because it helps draw the conclusion that even though they are suppose to protect the inmates they are in charge of killing them. This sheds immediate light on Percy because he just as cruel as the inmates if not worst. Next this brings they thought out about Will Bill Wharton because even though he is in jail he still acts the same and shows no sympathy for his actions. He killed three people and didn't bother to show pain until it came to him being put in solitary confinement. The whole story is summed up with the use of John Coffey because he brings life to the families that didn't think there was such a supernatural being. I believe that John made Percy and Wharton suffer the same way that they made others suffer. In return for being such a pure soul John was granted the gift of life.

Essay 5

I really enjoyed the movie and all the different characters all for different reasons but I am writing essay 5 on character Paul Edgecomb. It was a hard decision between Paul and John Coffey because I view them both as heroic people, however I am mainly focusing on Paul. I like that he was far from judgmental and treated everyone the same. He was the "boss" and never talked down to anyone. This movie was a real eye-opener and i'm pretty excited to write about it.

Essay # 5

In the final essay I'm focusing on th main issues raised by the protagonist, and how those issues are resloved. There is enough information to write two to three pages and I think it's a great topic to write about. One of the best characters in the movie, Paul, has so many interesting conflicts that he has to be able to go out of his way in order to solve problems. The problems in the middle of the movie all relate to the end of the movie when Paul is older and has to suffer the consequences of letting bad things happen to god's work. I looked at all of the other topics but the first one seems to be the best and the easiest. Mr. Jingles would be fun to write about, but I don't really fell like writng so much on so little information.

Character Analysis on John Coffey

John Coffey, in my opinion is the most interesting and complex character in The Green Mile. Not only does Stephen King use Coffey as metaphor to resemble the fact that innocent people have been executed on death row, he also uses Coffey to illustrate the idiom that you cant judge a book by its cover. On the surface, John Coffey is an ignorant, illiterate, giant of a man who is accused of raping and killing two very young girls. This seems to make his character menacing and evil, however as King begins to develope Coffey's character throughout the bbok and movie the audience begins to see that John is a kind hearted man capable of amzing things, or as put by the character Paul Edgecombe, a gift from god.

A Character analysis for “Wild Bill” Wharton,

I found him to be offensive language and annoying spoiling brat. In him being disgusted toward others in the cell block. I’m really against capital punishment but this guy was cheated for his crime. He was the one needed to have been executed in the chair. It sad to see this man die like he did, even though, it was entertaining how the spitting of moon cakes on to the officer face and grouse into believing it was real fecal material. the apperance was a poor.
