Discussion 3 "The Green Mile"

This sections reflects on a part of Paul's life when he is older in a nursing home writing a book about his experience on E block. He and a friend there name Elaine who seem to be comforting him a bit, as well gives him the company he enjoys. As he is writing the book he starts to have bad dreams about Wharton or "Wild Bill" one of the inmates on E block, and decides to continue working the book. He then recalls the things that "Wild Bill" does while on E block. Paul recalled the time that John Coffey was able to heal his infection with just a touch. Paul then begins to wonder more and more about him. He decides to go and visit Burt Hammersmith wrote stories about John Coffey's case. He did believe that John was guilt and referred John to a his dog that attacked his son for no reason. Melinda, warden Moore's wife comes home and Paul and his wife visit them. Moore's is having a hard time with everything and is currently taking time off with her. As "Wild Bill" is causing a mess on E block it is getting close to Delacroix date with old sparky. He has to decide what to do with Mr. Jingles but before to much thought is but in it Percy kills Mr. Jingles.

The Green Mile Discussion #4

At this point, we start to see primarily plot development.  Delacroix is sent out to the exercise ground to show off Mr. Jingles to "important people" as the E Block staff runs through the motions with Old Toot-toot.  On the eve of the execution, Delacroix and the E Block staff get down to negotiate the fate of Mr. Jingles, where they let out another white lie to leave Delacroix at peace.  When the colored spool rolls out of his cell, Percy takes his long sought opportunity and fatally crushes his rodent nemesis, leaving Mr. Jingles barely breathing.  At this point, King reveals Percy's tender age of 21, which further adds to his character development.  Percy, like any other at his age, has this innate sense of invincibility, pride, and superiority.  John Coffey sees the opportunity and does what he did with Paul Edgecomb's infection.  In the switch room, Percy is again set in his place as Paul and Brutal scare him into transferring out of Cold Mountain, with some help from Old Sparky, who, out of his own silent influence, amplifies the fear in Percy.  Finally, the witnesses file into the shack, and that only means one thing for Delacroix: game over.

Dolores Claiborne #3 Blog Post

Picking up from #2 Blog Post, Dolores Claiborne is at a crossroads. She has just found out that her husband cleaned out the savings accounts and has no money to start over with the children in another town. She wants to live her life without Joe, but to make that happen now she has to be willing to get extreme and creative.

She starts planning. She decides to kill Joe in a way that will make people believe it was an accident. She has thought about the best time to do it (while everyone is away watching the eclipse), how to make his personality and temper fit into her story (getting him drunk and then basically pissing him off enough to chase her), and, finally, getting him to run into an abandoned well (complete with rotted wellcap ready to collapse under the slightest pressure) on their property. She didn't count on him taking so long to die. At one point, he is struggling to get out of the well and makes it to the top; Dolores crushes his skull with a rock and it is finally over.

In her own way, she may have felt remorse but it doesn't carry over too strongly in the story. Going to these measures to get her and her family out of a horrible situation shows the reader just how desperate Dolores had become. We see that Dolores and her employer Vera really have become kindred spirit at this point. It is Vera's voice Dolores hears when she's smashing Joe's skull in. Two characters who were presented so differently from one another in the beginning have now turned into an unlikely support system for eachother.
