Essay 5

I decided for this last essay, I would write about Bernie from Stephen King's short story Night Surf. I want to discuss the issues with burning the man, his girlfriend he no longer finds appealing, and the A6 disease. Bernie ends up being the only one who doesn't catch the disease so I want to discuss how he acts toward the situation he and his friends are in. He is also a good character to write about because he had very different views than the others that were still alive and had not yet been taken by the A6 flu. I look forward to writing about him as he was sarcastic and had many opinions of everything.

I have a few characters in mind to write my last essay about. The first one is Paul from "The Green Mile". He has a lot of heart, and you get to see it in different aspects of his life. He has almost worked on hell if you ask me, yet still has a heart of gold. He treats some of the inmate with so much respect knowing the kind of lives they have lead. He truly wants them happy while they serve the last part of their live on E block. He is able to see the good in the inmate when society has casted these people off. He seems to be well rounded because he has the patients he need for people like Wharton and the compassion that John needs. He is a true gentlemen because he treats his wife, and friend Elaine with respect. I also like that the story show him being the same type of person he was in his older days. I really think his character will give me a lot of depth, because of the environment he was in that never changed him. I am also interested the main character in "The Boogeyman". He seems to be a very twisted man. The story makes you wonder how real his version of the story is true. He is guilty of never truly loving his family or he has had a bad child hood. His children have all been killed by the boogeyman and he continues to let it happened. His pride is so important that he refuses to bad down from what his instincts are telling him. In the end his pride cost him his whole family. I wonder did he make the boogeyman up to take away the blame on what was happening to his family? Both character have a lot of material to work with so it a matter of which one to pick. I will enjoy this essay because of the characters we get to pick.
