Essay 5 Ideas
I am not one hundred percent sure on what I'm going to write about for Essay 5. There are so many different characters from the Stephen King stories we have read to choose from. I am thinking that I will write about a character from my novel choice Misery or a character from "The House On Maple Street". Paul Sheldon from Misery would be a good character to write about because of how strong and courageous he was to put up with Annie. He wasn't afraid to stand up to her in the end of the story, and he wasn't a coward. He dealt with everything she put him through when he could have taken the easy way out by committing suicide. Another character that would be interesting to write about is the step-father in "The House on Maple Street". He raised a lot of issues in this short story because he was emotionally abusive towards his wife and her children. He neglected both his wife and the children in this story. He was very selfish and cruel. I'm not sure which foundation I will use for this essay, but I would like to do something creative with two conflicting characters in this essay. I hope it will be good.

Paul Sheldon would be a great character to write about especially because it was mostly him in the story, or aleast you knew more of his thought's than Annie's. I also think it may be better to write about his character in the story because it gives you more of his background.
I think both main characters have underline issues. I think both characters are dark people. Of couse then the questions would be is it childhood related or just who they became as adults. I think Misery can give you more depth that you make need to complete your essay. I look forward to reading your essay, because of the characters you will be writing about.
