Essay 5

I think that this essay is very different than the previous that we have written. I’m planning to write about Annie Wilkes from Misery. She has many issues that can be discussed. The way she may have been raised could have been the reason she turned out the way she did. In the book her father was mentioned a few times. I just wish it would have expanded on that part a little more so that we could see a clearer background for her. Never the less she did have some type of mental illness that caused her to act the way she did. Anything would cause her to snap on people. It amazes me that someone as smart as Annie was could just be so different. She was a career woman and had many jobs in the nursing field but chose to kill people instead of help them. I also wander if maybe she went into that field just to satisfy her need to kill thinking or knowing, better yet, that she would be able to get away with it. I think that Annie was just crying out for help in the beginning but became satisfied with taking other’s lives. I think I’m going to rent the movie and watch that again too to help give me more idea to write about. I know I always forget a few things while reading and the movie is a lot like the book. Hopefully I can find an interview or something like that from Stephen King about this particular novel. If anyone knows of a place that I could find such information please let me know.
