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.

I had not really given much thought to this paper yet, so I am not too sure how exactly I am going to write this or what I am going to write about. As for which foundation I will use to write my paper, I think I am going to choose, “What are the main issues raised by the character or the protagonist? What is the way that the conflict is resolved, and what happens at the end?” But I might also possibly choose, “Why does a protagonist take a crucial, life-changing action? What motivates this character to do something that seems bold or surprising?” These seem like the easier of the two for me to write about. For essay five, I was thinking about maybe writing about the character Clay from the novel Cell that I read. He was a very interesting character with a lot of mixed emotions about some things. His never-ending drive to find his son was absolutely incredible. No matter what obstacle got in his way, he never gave up and in the end, successfully succeeded in getting his son back. If I were to choose the first foundation, I would probably talk about all that Clay had to go through and all the obstacles that were thrown up against him in the search for his son. I would also talk about how the main problem of the story got resolved in order for him to get his son back in the end. If I were to choose to talk about the second topic, I would talk about all the little decisions that Clay made that ended up being a life-changing decision in the search to find his son and what were the main causes of that motivation. Just some ideas that I have in mind.

In reading "Cell" by Stephen King, I have come to admire the persistency and courage that Clay Riddell demonstrates. He is faced with a dramatic and horrific altercation of life and has no option except survival. He begins with trying to get back to his son, who is in a different state when "the pulse" goes through. Knowing that there is only a slim chance his son hasn't been affected is the only thing that keeps him moving in his quest for familiarity and comfort. Along with him on his journey is a young girl named Alice and a businessman named Tom McCourt. With the help of these two, survival seems more probable. They encounter "phone-crazies" and observe them from a safe distance and decide to take action before it is too late. Tom doesn't want to travel the way that Clay does, knowing that the probability of Clay seeing his son again is slim to none. Tom believes that they should think of going the opposite direction then which they are headed. The two characters are portrayed with some similarities and some differences. I am planning on elaborating on the encounters that they share and how they each have reacted to it. Another idea for essay 5 would be to compare David and Norton in King's "The Mist." David has a very straight-forward look on the mist that has surrounded the supermarket and possibly absorbed the entire town. He merely wants to get back to his house and see if his wife is safe or has been "taken." Norton, on the other hand, is a pessimist and causes a disturbance in the supermarket when David tries to show him what came out of the mist. The two characters in each story have different views and appear to be plausible topics for a concrete paper.

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.

In this last essay, I would like to write about the protagonist character Paul Sheldon in the novel Misery written by Stephen King. I am going to talk about how he was able to endure the pain and torture that he endured during his time as a captive. I also want to focus on how he used he creative nature to help him deal with being a captive. I found that he even had a feeling sympathy for his captor by paying for her taxes on her house,Or how he felt when she gave her first encounter of a fake story and how she felt. I like how was able to chose to build his upper body strength when he knew there was no hope in his legs healing for him to be able to use them in order to get free. He took what he had left physically and mobile wise to help him move around in the house to find out more about Annie. I was particularly impressed with the measure he took in order to let the police officer know that he was being held in the house involuntarily. He knew that there could have been major consequences for his actions especially if it did not work. He had gotten to the point it was now or never. I was extremely impressed  when he ventured out into the house to get what he needed. Yes, he was after his medication but soon after these journeys became of survival escapades.This story helps a person understand how people survive terrible ordeals and make it through,It seems that you simply have to learn to adapt to your situation and make up in your mind that you will survive at all cost. Paul will never take for granted the things he took for granted before. This is something that will forever change his life and change him internally.I also like how Paul switched the control on Annie in the end by gaining her sympathy and burning his manuscript knowing that she would loose focus and that would give him the time to fight back.

Essay 5

I read in the Night Shift, "I know what you need" It was a very interesting story, sad but read on and a real fantasy. I man named Ed will be the character I write about. He had an amazing gift to help his abusive parents win major jackpots and still didn't appreciate him as a child. As he was older he wanted the love of a childhood acquaintence and used magic, voodoo, and charms to win her over by murdering her boyfriend and manipulating her emotions for him, after she finds out he learns that he can't get what he wants and nothing is never what it seems.

Essay 5

For this essay I've decided to write about Vera Donovan, one of the main characters from Dolores Claiborne. For me, Vera was the most intriguing character in the book. Everything about her is interesting, and she steals every scene she appears in. She had a great big personality, a horrible temper, and secrets galore. She was instrumental to the novel's plot. Even the she and Dolores had their disagreements all throughout the story, she ended up giving Dolores courage to do something she never would have on her own. They becom friends and Vera proves to be a good sounding board for Dolores's problems.

Vera's personal life at the beginning of the book seemed to be perfect. She had a son and a daughter, a successful husband, and every material possession her heart desired. She meets Dolores when she is hiring staff for her family's summer home. As the years go on, her personal life falls into the shadows. You don't hear too much about the children, and the last thing you hear about her husband is that he died in a car accident. She doesn't have any close friends and her children don't visit her anymore. She begins to spend more and more time at her vacation home on Little Tall Island, where the novel takes place and where Dolores lives. She slowly turns into a full-time resident, and throughout the years the only constant in her life has been her head housekeeper Dolores Claiborne.

Vera suffered from dementia in her later years. She would have horrible hallucinations and nightmares and she depended on Dolores completely. King pulls off a wonderful feat in turning such a fiercely independent spirit into a weak, needy person. She's the kind of character that pulls you in and makes it easy for the reader to empathize with her.

I am thinking about making my character analysis on a character from either "Night Surf" or "The Woman in the Room" because both of those stories interested me; but I also might just go the easy route and do a character from my novel "Cell". Since I practically failed the only essay I actually worked hard on I think that I'll just base my character analysis on the novel I read and only spend an hour writing it. The main issue in the novel is that mankind is being turned into monsters and their brains are being whipped clean resulting in the people referring to their animal insticts. The main character's main issue is that he is trying to survive and find his son. The conflict is resolved by the main characters blowing up the largest group of crazy people and their leader so that the remaining crazy people have no direction. In the end the main character finds his son and all of the crazy people are slowly staving and freezing to death in the Winter because they have no leadership. The conflict is resolved by death.
There are many conflicting characters in the novel like the religious woman and the main character that grew up with very religious relatives that were not very nice. Also, there was Alice who was very nice and the boys who she tried to help but they ended up killing her, as well as many more conflicting characters.
This is what I plan on basing my essay on I think but like I said this essay will be bland and take me a very short amount of time to write because when you try to make these essays interesting you fail.
