For essay 4, I'm not one hundred percent sure on what I'm going to write about. There are so many different social issues in my novel choice, Misery, that would be good topics to write about. In the end of the novel, some of the issues I noticed were alcoholism, prescription drug addiction, and mental illnesses. I think I am going to write about mental illnesses and include examples from Misery. One of the main characters in this novel had issues and tortured another character throughout the course of the story. I could write about how there are mentally ill people in our world that are like this, and how it can affect anyone. This will be a position essay. I will also include research from the databases online. I will probably use EBSCO for this. I will research sociopaths and serial killers and include this into my essay as well. I am stuck on what to write about for the disagreements on this issue. I can't think of any disagreements for this issue right now, I guess I'll have to really try to think outside of the box. I will include how chemical imbalances of the brain, traumatic incidences in someone's childhood, social isolation, envy, or loathing of oneself could cause someone to develop a mental illness like the main character of my novel choice. I will also include how these types of people can get so violent and angry at the drop of a hat, and how they can get a thrill out of hurting others just like the main character of my novel did. I will also discuss what things may have helped the situation in the book and what could help people with these issues in real life. Medication is one thing that I feel could resolve or alleviate problems with this social issue. I will try my best to make sense to my audicence, and to do a good job at relating issues in my novel choice to real life. This essay will definitely take a lot of work.

In Cell I think the social issue was when people are afraid they listen to the first person that steps up and starts giving direction even if it is to their slaughter. This makes it very easy for they leader to be corrupt and start doing things for his own gain. All he has to do is offer false hope and show intimidation. "The raggedy man" in the novel intimidats by killing all of the "crazies" that weren't going where he wanted them to, but also he could control people's minds. Anytime large groups of people are desperate or afraid all they want is direction and an easy solution and consequently they are easily fooled and intimidated. This is the problem with socialism. Socialism seems like a dream for a crashing economy and it seems like the perfectly simple solution, but it is easily corrupted. There is no freedom; only someone telling you what to do and when to do it, and more often then not it causes more violence then it is preventing. So I think I might make my fourth essay like my third except it will be a position paper against socialism.

For the next essay, I was thinking of starting over with my topic being the death penalty.  Considering that it's the predominant issue in The Green Mile, I figured it would be a good idea.  Racism is still a problem, but I just didn't really see it as significant enough for my next essay.  I was thinking about writing my essay over the prison and criminal justice systems as well, but I think that the death penalty topic will bring up better arguments.

Green Mile #5 cont.

John Coffey is brought into the switch room to pay for the new crime of a past inmate.  As a last request, John Coffey asks to procede through the execution without the hood, to not turn the lights out.  The second switch goes down, and it's over.  The novel ends with the tragic death of Paul's wife.

For essay 4 I am going to write about the issues with people that are crazy like Annie Wilkes. She had serious anger problems and was unable to control herself. She needed help but did not want it. I think that she had problems but she wasn’t stupid because she had planned many of the murders and pulled them off perfectly. I think that people like that should be locked away. She took many lives during the time she worked as a nurse and she took many after the trial and got away with it. Not only did she take the lives of people but she also hurt the families of the people that she killed. A better investigation probably would have given all the evidence prosecutors needed but unfortunately it just didn’t work out that way in the story. I wish that she wouldn’t have died in the story, though. I was really looking forward to her spending the rest of her life locked up in an insane asylum. Anyway, I think that something should be done about people that really have problems like this and end up getting away with murder or really serious crimes. It’s terrible to know that the justice system can’t find a way to get around things like this. For example everyone knew that Annie was guilty and she got away with it because it was circumstantial. There should be some way around those loop holes. The only thing that I may have trouble with is finding the sources. I’m not sure about what I should type in for the search. If anyone has any idea’s I am defiantly interested in it. If I could figure out what to type in I am sure I could find all sorts of cases that would compare to Annie’s story perfectly.

Green Mile Essay 5

In this last part of the novel, Delacroix's execution finally takes place.  All protocols and procedures are followed with one exception: Percy leaves the sponge dry.  Believing that it would only hurt Delacroix a little, Percy calls for the second switch.  To his horror, Delacroix screams at the top of his lungs out of the excrutiating pain of hundreds of volts coursing through his body, his flesh burning.  Later, the E Block staff plots to bust John Coffey out, all for the purpose of healing the warden's wife and her inoperable tumor.  But before that, they drug the warden unconscious, and the plan follows.  When he heals the warden's wife, John Coffey, instead of releasing the swarm, holds it in, donning the tumor himself.  When the convoy returns, Percy is about on the Green Mile.  Percy is immediately restrained and put in the padded room to keep him quiet.  Upon being released, Percy passes by John Coffey, who grabs him and passes on the affliction of the tumor to him.  Percy now breaks out in an episode of psychosis, walking into the warden's office and fatally shoots the warden six times.  He then sits down, releases John Coffey's swarm, and leaves, never to be heard from again.  A shocking revelation is then made about John Coffey and the event that led to his conviction.  It turns out that John Coffey is innocent, and that the true culprit was Wild Bill Wharton, who was at the time a hired hand at the Deterick house.  The deputy involved in the pursuit knew Wharton was guilty, but arrested Coffey because he was black.  At last, the day comes.

Misery's Final Post

Paul is in the process of writing Misery's Return for Annie. Normally Paul would average about 4 pages a day but since Paul was so into it and doesn't want Annie to be mad he averaged about 12 pages a day. One day Annie decides to go to her "Happy Place" and Paul got hungry, so he lifted himself in the wheelchair and went to the kitchen. While in the kitchen, Paul stuff himself with food and thought to himself he should keep a knife under the mattress if he wants to kill Annie because he really hates her guts. Annie came home and found out what Paul was up to and got mad at Paul and chops off one of his foot. In severe pain Paul knew he had to finish the book to keep his life. One day while Paul was writing he heard a car and saw it was a policemen but he knew the policemen could not hear him. While Annie was attending to the policemen outside, Paul threw an ashtray out the window; as soon as he did that Annie jabbed him in his face and murdered him by running him over with a lawnmower. Later that night, Annie ereased all evidence of the murder and placed Paul in the basement to continue writing. Paul cannot see in the dark but his eyes started to adapt to the darkness. In the room Paul saw the bbq pit, the item that Annie used to burn his biggest book "Fast Lane." It reminded him how much he hated Annie and how much he loved that book so Paul started to think of a plan. The plan was to show Annie how he felt when she burned the book.

Paul was brought back to his room to celebrate with Annie for completing his book. Annie celebrate with giving him caviar and a cigar to start with. When Annie went out the room to get champage, she came back to see that Paul had the manuscript in one hand and a match on the other.

This essay I may write about the idea of killing many for the good of a few. In Cell, the survivors killed several hundred of the "phoners" so that their small group could live. We see this alot in history, columbus, cortez, and in many other figures through out history. I say this now but I will probably wait and wait until the last minute and just "panic write", and extend my essay #2 and turn it in.

The Cell

Johnny, Clay, Tom, Jordan, and group of survivors.

We all cam the the conclusion that the ending was yet another bad one from the stephen king think tank. They survivors ended up killing the huge flock with a busload of dynamite and Clay finds his son. You never know if Clay's son ever gets back to normal or he gets worse. We all agree that it was a very incomplete story with alot of missing facts. It never tells you who started the pulse or why they did it. It was a good story but it could have been a great one had there been a better ending.

In essay four I'm going to expand essay three on alcoholism. In essay three I talked about alcoholism and a solution for alcoholism.In this next essay I'm going to talk about what causes alcoholism for instance depression is one of the causes.When people get depressed they turn to alcohol to cope with the depression but it only makes things worse. Now not only do they still have a depression problem but they have an alcoholism problem to. Also problems like divorce,lossof job,spousal abuse,loss of a relative those all cause alcoholism. But basically I'm going to be talking about how depression plays a big part in alcoholism today and ways to control it. If more people get help for depression or at least talked to someone about being depressed I think alcoholism would decrease. People dont realize there depressed and also people dont like to admit that they are. So ways to cope with this instead of getting professional help they turn to alcohol to deal with the problem.Which alcohol is a depressant so in the long run it makes things worse. Depression also runs in families which has an increased chance of using alcohol. Alcoholism can also be genetic so that increases your chances on being an alcoholic if it runs in your family.Both of my parents drank my mom and dad so im a drinker too. I dont depend on alcohol dont have to have it but I like drinking on different occasions. So the next essay will be based on the causes of alcoholism.

I have the idea to write an Essay as the problem/solution in the book Dolores Claiborne. I found the problem was abuse; mental, physical, and some sexual abuse that drove Dolores to kill her husband and that was her soultion. I feel that maybe i should just do a position and maybe go with agreeing with her, but I don't believe in having to murder him but then see what she went through, but there are more legal ways of getting out of it. So I may just go with the abuses as the problem and research those abuses and including cites from the book, and finding other solutions including the murder she had done and the ways of my solution and researching those. If there is any advice could someone help because I think this is what the essay is asking for so I just want to be on track.
