The Green Mile Discussion 3

At this point, we see the entrance of "Wild Bill" Wharton into the Green Mile.  While in transport, Wharton appears calm.  But upon his entrance to the Green Mile, all hell breaks loose as he slips his chains over Dean's neck and chokes him.  This comes as a shock for the E Block guards because all other inmates have been so cooperative.  The presence of Wild Bill is proof enough that some people are simply too dangerous, even for Death Row, as he tries to take as many people to the grave with him for as long as he can.  It also reveals Percy's true colors when he blanks out from panic, compared to the merciless beating that he deals to Delacroix.  It even puts Paul Edgecomb   As time progresses, Wharton exhibits on/off periods of violent outbursts.  Considering the time period this takes place in, insanity is no contest to the justice system.

Gang Violence a Social Issue Today

Gang Violence a Social Issue Today

The topic I chose for my essay was gang violence because of the experience I have had personally with it. Today you see a lot of the violence in the news from overseas. There is so much more than the papers and news tell us. Just think if you go overseas alone and are there for any amount of time, you are an easy target. Your papers can be burned and you can be left for dead barely alive or even never found at all. When any family or friends start to look for you they are often too late. This is something I have experienced personally and made it out alive. When violence like this happens to you, things look totally different and your not as invincible as you think anymore. This topic is a topic that will be hard for me but I also look at it as a way of growing and healing from it as well.

The cell

The Cell

In the Cell our group found that even from the beginning Stephen King was very descriptive and gory. The Cell is all about people going mad from their cell phone. A cell phone call or signal makes the go mad. King introduced us to two main characters: Clay, a tall, good looking, level headed man along with Tom, a somewhat level headed, short, semi-bald and somewhat bitter man. The two main characters, Clay and Tom are opposites of each other but King seems to make them fit together like a glove and work with each other. Every now and then King will bring Tom, the lesser of the men to be a hero in small feats on their journey. They are accompanied by a small young girl named Alice on part of their journey which both of them men protect on occasion along the way.

In the readings we found that King gets very descriptive on odd occasions as when he goes into detail about a naked crazy man running down the street. King makes you wonder why he chooses some events over others to go into such details at the time. It can be in appropriate in the readings at time leaving you thinking what his point is, in that particular moment. Along with the reading of this novel we came to some conclusions as well. We started to see King as not empathetic towards his characters as they die off or are abused in some way. He also tends to make religion in the book portrayed by a babbling idiot in most cases. In this novel the religious person gets cold cocked in the face and what makes it worse it’s a woman that gets hit by the main character Clay. One thing we did totally agree on is how he makes you start to hate the bad characters just as much as he does in his novels.

essay 3

For essay 3 i was thinkin bout how people get laid off from there jobs. When people get laid off they have to get trained in something else becuase there field of work is going under. Well in order for them to get trained more money is dished out to get the classes in session which raises taxes, and costs of things. Its just a lose lose situation, didhing out more money to train them to do something else rather then let them do what they were already trained to do.
