Essay 3

The only controversial issue that I see growing worldwide is pregnancy. Everywhere we look now and days people young and old are pregnant. There are teens as young as 13 dealing with the unknown outcomes of sex. Parents run from the issue so they wont have to face the thought that their child is entering adulthood. A sex education class will help educate students on not only pregnancy but STD's as well. Its better to know because some diseases cant be cured. One second of pleasure could cause a lifetime of pain. Furthermore some teens cant talk to their parents because they are afraid to be judged or yelled at, but talking to peers among the same age group could be beneficial.

Essay 4

My topic of discussion for essay 4 is Misery by Stephen King. I choosed to write a position paper on the abuse Annie inflicts on Paul. Most might not think he was abused but Paul was almost seen as being tortured. She made him drink mop water with his pills, paralyzed him so he couldn't walk, and made him write stories against his will. The controversial issue could have been hostage as well but I don't view that as a standard issue. Annie was mean and cruel to Paul. She went from being a number 1 fan too the number 1 psycho. I don't believe Paul will ever be able to live a regular life knowing that there are other fans out there that feel the same way she does. His only piece comes from the satisfaction knowing that Annie is dead.

Essay 5

For the character analysis of The Green Mile I would like to explore more than one character. John Edgecomb was the main character telling the story that helps identify the whole cast of the movie. John was a corrections officer that worked on The Green Mile in E Block of the prison unit. Everyday he faced trials and pain dealing with Percy, a cruel guard, and the reality of execution. I find this important because it helps draw the conclusion that even though they are suppose to protect the inmates they are in charge of killing them. This sheds immediate light on Percy because he just as cruel as the inmates if not worst. Next this brings they thought out about Will Bill Wharton because even though he is in jail he still acts the same and shows no sympathy for his actions. He killed three people and didn't bother to show pain until it came to him being put in solitary confinement. The whole story is summed up with the use of John Coffey because he brings life to the families that didn't think there was such a supernatural being. I believe that John made Percy and Wharton suffer the same way that they made others suffer. In return for being such a pure soul John was granted the gift of life.

Essay 5

I really enjoyed the movie and all the different characters all for different reasons but I am writing essay 5 on character Paul Edgecomb. It was a hard decision between Paul and John Coffey because I view them both as heroic people, however I am mainly focusing on Paul. I like that he was far from judgmental and treated everyone the same. He was the "boss" and never talked down to anyone. This movie was a real eye-opener and i'm pretty excited to write about it.

Essay # 5

In the final essay I'm focusing on th main issues raised by the protagonist, and how those issues are resloved. There is enough information to write two to three pages and I think it's a great topic to write about. One of the best characters in the movie, Paul, has so many interesting conflicts that he has to be able to go out of his way in order to solve problems. The problems in the middle of the movie all relate to the end of the movie when Paul is older and has to suffer the consequences of letting bad things happen to god's work. I looked at all of the other topics but the first one seems to be the best and the easiest. Mr. Jingles would be fun to write about, but I don't really fell like writng so much on so little information.

Character Analysis on John Coffey

John Coffey, in my opinion is the most interesting and complex character in The Green Mile. Not only does Stephen King use Coffey as metaphor to resemble the fact that innocent people have been executed on death row, he also uses Coffey to illustrate the idiom that you cant judge a book by its cover. On the surface, John Coffey is an ignorant, illiterate, giant of a man who is accused of raping and killing two very young girls. This seems to make his character menacing and evil, however as King begins to develope Coffey's character throughout the bbok and movie the audience begins to see that John is a kind hearted man capable of amzing things, or as put by the character Paul Edgecombe, a gift from god.

A Character analysis for “Wild Bill” Wharton,

I found him to be offensive language and annoying spoiling brat. In him being disgusted toward others in the cell block. I’m really against capital punishment but this guy was cheated for his crime. He was the one needed to have been executed in the chair. It sad to see this man die like he did, even though, it was entertaining how the spitting of moon cakes on to the officer face and grouse into believing it was real fecal material. the apperance was a poor.

Green Mile showed different characters, many feelings in there, compassion, hate, sacrifice, punishment, healing, miracles from John Coffey. He acts like a healer for people that need help, he can see people with good hearts but for those that are abusers,and bulling, he  do not deserve anything for them, only punish. They showed cruel people.

The character that I will write essay five about will be Paul. I chose this character because he is the protagonist and he fits my approach for this essay. My approach for this essay will be the third approach to consider the narration of The Green Mile and the underscoring meaning of the narration.

Essay 5 Character Analysis

I want to write my essay 5 about a character analysis over Paul Edgecomb. I know it may seem as though his would be the easiest to write about because he is the main character in the movie, but that's not the reason why I chose him. I chose him because the way his character molds throughout the movie is amazing. He is so closed off in the begining just being "the boss" and turns into a beleiver of the unknown, he learns to have faith, and he learns that you can't just judge someone withough proof; like the jail seemed to do John Coffey.

It's hard to decide which approach to take for this essay as I enjoy all the characters and enjoy seeing from all different aspects. I am leaning towards writing about John Coffey. I have a soft spot for him. I plan on writing about of course the main issues and then all of the social issues that arise. Being a big black, uneducated man in the 1930s accused of murdering and raping two young white girls certainly did not ensure fair or just treatment. Part of me wants to take on Paul though, I love the fact that he could see through all of the fog. We could definently use a few more Pauls in todays society!

Essay 5 Ideas

I'm probably going to write about Paul Edgecombe, the protagonist of the story. Frankly, he is the easiest character to write about. In the movie, Paul is the head of the guards who are in charge of the Green Mile. Paul tries to comfort the inmates during their last days alive with civility and restraint. Paul is generally a level-headed character and one of the few people that set him off happens to be be Percy Whetmore. After John Coffey is on the Mile, Paul quite often breaks the rules, putting a lot of faith in John. I will probably be using some information from the novel to fill in the gaps the movie had made.

Essay 5: Character Evaluation

I'm going to talk about Paul Edgecomb. His character is very interesting in the movie. He is the main character. His character in the movie is a man that respects other men even if they are criminals, and he believes that if you did something bad you should have consequences. He befriends the prisoners, especially John Coffey. He really cared about him because he knew that he was innocent. That is who i'm talking about.

Essay 5 Ideas

In this essay, I am writing a character analysis of John Coffey. The reason I choose John is because he is the most important character in the story. The story is not told by his point of view, but he is definitely one of most special character who give a great impression to the audience. He is the one who make this movie so special. His supernatural ability and angel- like image changed the way the guard look at the world. He is like a gift from God to the people around him. There are many "conflict" on him. He has a body stronger than every one but his thought, his heart is just like a child, very meek. He has such a great power yet he is so humble. He tried his best to help people but he was hate by them. These conflict make him not only a person who has great power but make him an miracle.

I am going to write about the character, Percey Wetmore. I want to analyze why he is like he is. Why he is so vengeful. I am going to try to find out why he is going through all that hassle to be a bully. Why is he staying even though no one wants him there. To me he is one of the more interesting charachters because he is the one that really sticks out compared to the other guards.

For this last essay I plan to write a character analyisis on Paul Edcombe.At first I wanted to do the paper on John Coffey however I changed my mind for there is much more to write about with Paul. Such as, two perspectives (young and old), first person views on events on the Green mile and of course his relationship with John Coffey. We also witness first hand horrid sights of violence, acts of racial discrimination and even miracles to name a few. I will type my essay based on these ideas.

Essay 5 Ideas

For my essay 5 I want to write about Paul Edgecomb. He is such an interesting character in the green mile. He is able to look past John Coffey’s shell and see what he really is on the inside. He is the boss on the green mile, and has the ability to be a complete and total jerk to all the prisoners. I mean who are the prisoners going to complain too? They are on the Green Mile for a reason and I doubt that anyone would take action on their complaints. However, Paul goes out of his way to ensure that the prisoners are taken care of and are not treated badly despite the horrifying crimes that they have committed. Furthermore, Paul and the other guards risk their jobs and break the law to get John Coffey to see Melinda and have her healed. He risked everything to save his bosses wife. That compassion he has to do good is so deep and honest. Never the less, out of all the guards on the Green Mile he is the one who has personally electrocuted the most prisoners. Paul is only doing his job and granted these men are guilty criminals that have been sentenced to die, but it still takes a lot out of someone to be the one responsible for killing these criminals. I think there are several aspects to Paul Edgecomb and think he is a truly fascinating character.

John or Paul?

I haven’t deiced who I want to write my essay about. It would have to either be Paul Edgecomb or John Coffey. I believe they are both the best characters in The Green Mile and they both stand for something beyond a normal character. Paul Edgecomb is pretty much the peace keeper for the green mile. He is kind-hearted and does his job with good morals. He witnesses John Coffey’s miracles and finds a way to save the life of his boss’s wife because he thought she didn’t deserve to die the way she was. John Coffey seems to be a gentle giant who is scared of the dark and cries a lot. This may be because he has a kind heart just like Paul. He seems to be the incent person who was trying to do the right thing maybe by saving the girls but got judged wrongly thinking that he hurt the girls. I think writing about John would be something good but also writing about Paul would be good as well.

Coffey or Edgecomb?

Ideas for Essay 5

I think I will be writing my essay 5 character analysis on Lester Billings from Stephen Kings short story The Boogeyman because that story had the biggest effect on me. Haha it made me scared. But my real issue is why he couldn't get in there and save his children! I can't understand that. And wouldn't he have gotten the hint after the first child passed away? So anyways this is what I'll be writing about and I might to a compare and contrast essay but I'm not sure yet.

Essay #5- Paul

I decided to do my character analysis on Paul Edgecomb. I know that mostly everyone is going to pick that character, but probably because he is one of the main ones. I picked Paul because the way that his life was affected by John Coffey made the whole plot of the movie. I chose Paul because it is easy to tell how he is most affected when Coffey shows up to the mile. Paul is the first to find out about Coffey’s power to heal. The movie starts off with Paul and his urinary issues, but as Coffey moves into the mile, not only Paul’s, but everyone’s lives get affected by just one person. I will be basically writing about how Paul’s life is influenced by all the good that Coffey has done. As Paul continues to get to know Coffey, the guards and the cellmates become influenced. Paul goes through many conflicts attempting to help Coffey, such as Percy and his lack of sympathy, and Wild Bill and his mental disabilities. Writing about the conflicts and resolutions of Paul, will in fact be easy, since the whole movie revolves around Paul. I will be mentioning how Coffey is a spiritual example and Paul is guided through his life, even though he is cursed to live a long life without his loved ones.
This should be an easy essay for a final, but it will be difficult to explain specific events of Paul’s life and how they are affected.

Questions? Or Solutions?

I think I shall write this essay about how King portrays Percy much less sympathetically than Del or Coffey. I am thinking of writing about this because I find it interesting that he shows more sympathy for two of the inmates instead of the guard. Throughout the movie, he keeps trying to point towards something, more along the lines of an idea he is trying to get across. The way I see it, Coffey is a gentle soul who can heal people through the grace of God, as Paul believes it. Del, I’m not too sure about, mainly because I haven’t seen the entire movie yet. Percy, as I also see it, is a horrible person who only got the job because of his connections. Percy just wants to make life hell for the inmates, to which Paul disagrees with. In the movie, he breaks Del’s fingers because Paul sent him off of the death row or the “Green Mile” as they called it. Percy finally gets his one wish to set up an electrocution. He purposely doesn’t use the sponge properly, and watches Del writhe in agony during the electrocution and Del even catches on fire before he dies. I thought to do my essay on this topic, because it shows, well at to me it does, that not all death row inmates are horrible people and that not all guards are nice people.

Chances are I will write about something spiritual ofcourse. I'm not going to make Coffey to be a Jesus though. I'd like to just write a short summary about all of the characters and how they worked together. If not I'll write about Coffey. I'll point out how his personality goes with his spiritual power. He seems to be so meek and childish yet he has the power of God to take away powerful negativity. If all people were like Coffey the world would be so much better. This will be the point i'll make.

essay 5

Im thinking of doing the protagonist on the Green Mile movie.It seem that Paul is in a delima on how to handle mister Coffey and his power. He doesnt belive that he is a murder and killed those two girls, but ever one else tells him that he did. He wonder how a gental careing and nice person as John Coffey is how he could do such a thing. He doesnt know what to do about him till the day come when John shows him the truth about what happend to the little girls.

Essay 5

For essay 5 I will be writing about John Coffey from the green mile. I find it ironic that John Coffeys life ended in a similar manner to Christ. He had no wrong in him and was put here to help people but they destroyed him. John Coffeys initials JC match those of Jesus Christ which could point out that Stephen King may have used christianity as a base. John Coffey also chose his own death because he didn't want to stay and deal with the hate in the world. Besides that I will talk about John Coffeys character in general

Essay 5

I am still not sure on what exactly I am going to write about... I know that I should know by now but I still cant decide from writting an essay about exploring more in detail, the relationship that Mr. Jingles had with Delacroix or writting about the antagonist in the film Percy he really was very hateful towards Delacroix and the way he lied and made Delacroix suffer in his execution. Cant decide yet....

Essay 5

I am currently considering writing this essay on the relationship between Mr. Jingles and Delacroix. I found their relationship to be rather interesting. "Dale" as he is nick-named in the story, is a kind-hearted individual that the audience comes to love. Dale is similar to John Coffey in certain ways, but very different from Wild Bill and Percy. I personally enjoyed Dale's character and his interactions with the various other characters in the story. His tragic death is quite upsetting.

However, I am not 100% sure I can accurately analyze Dale and Mr. Jingles. This topic might be a little difficult as Mr. Jingles obviously has no lines to quote. It might be difficult to analyze a mouse...

Any suggestions?

Annie Wilkes

For my fifth essay, I intend to analyze the character of Annie Wilkes. I think that it is easy to comprehend the motivations of a story's protagonist, (in this case, Paul Sheldon) but it is usually the antagonist that fascinates the reader. Annie's actions are so incongruous with her words and her sometimes childish attitude, it baffles the reader, while still hooking them in, and making them want to know more.

I think it's very possible that Annie quit developing mentally at an early age, and that, while her body continued to grow into a woman, her mind remained stuck in an immature time. Her reasoning for her actions tends toward a very childish understanding of the world, and she has a very self-centered viewpoint. Some of the things she does, she does simply because it is what she wants to do, or because she wants to have something and can make it hers. Other times, she acts in a monstrous way, and explains it away with a very childish logic; for instance, she kills babies as a nurse, to save them the trouble of the world that they'll have to deal with as they get older. This is a very simplistic reasoning, and it seems very much the product of an immature mind coupled with her obvious manic-depressive problems.

I think that it would be very fascinating to continue to study Annie in more detail. She presents such a conundrum: one cannot completely hate her, as one would a cliched evil, mustache-twirling villain. She is pitiable, while still being terrifying and formidable. I think the way that she breaks Paul Sheldon down so effectively is also a terrific point of interest for the character. She has a dominating personality, but lacks the charisma to be truly evil, until the circumstances arise for her to have a captive. She is able to dominate him almost wholly, to the point that he is gibbering when the policemen finally find Paul in his prisoner's room. And yet, I don't think she really has the mental capacity, or the wider view of the world necessary to understand the hurt she is inflicting. She is truly a marvel of a character, and I think that King outdid himself with a true-to-life villain that one can *almost* relate to.

Essay 5

I think I am going to choose Annie Wilkes from the novel Misery to use for my Essay 5. She was seriously crazy and there will be a lot to analyze. She had so many different mood swings that were triggered by things Paul said or simply the rain. The only problem I am having is determining a "reason" for her insanity. King did not give any insight as to why this lady is a fruit loop. Her child hood is not discussed much nor anyother time period in her life that may give the reader a clue. We don't know if she was abused as a child, made fun of in school, had a crazy parent she learned the behavior from, or diagnosed with a mental condition. I can't say that there would be a valid reason to be as crazy as she is but I wish that King had given an answer to this. No motivation for her behavior. I don't know who to compare her to from any of the other stories I have read. I could compare her beliefs to Paul's but I wouldnt have anything to say other than, "she went nuts and Paul thought she was crazy." She felt chopping off Paul's foot with an axe was okay and he didnt. Just seems like a given. All the other stories are so short it seems too complicated to try and analyze a character that I knew for 20 pages. I read the whole novel Misery and had more time to get to know these characters.

Essay Five Ideas

I have a few different ideas for essay number five, the character analysis essay. The first of my two ideas is to compare the points of view presented by Annie and Paul in Stephen King’s novel Misery. Their conflicting viewpoints have one thing in common. Paul thinks (and I agree) that Annie is insane. On the other hand, Annie thinks that she is the only one that can be right and that Paul is insane. The comparison of their viewpoints would prove to be an interesting insight into the effects of a person’s upraising. For my second thought, I considered simply breaking down Annie’s character. The problem presented with this idea is trying to explain why Annie chooses to do what she does. There are many possibilities, but it is impossible to know exactly what King’s reasoning was for writing Annie’s character the way he did. He could have reasoned that she was abused as a child or that she is a psychopath or for any number of reasons. Another idea that crossed my mind was to compare Paul’s character to Catherine Bradbury’s character in “The House on Maple Street”. Whether mentally, physically, or both, Paul and Catherine were both placed in an abusive situation that made escape seem impossible. The difference between these two characters is that Paul builds up the strength to force himself out of the situation. Catherine chose not to defend herself and to give into the hopelessness of the situation in which she was placed. This idea would turn into a paper discussing how much suffering a person must go through in order to turn their doubts and fears into anger and hope. It would also point out how loss and depression can offset a person’s well being and their ability to defend themselves when needed. All in all I do plan on using at least one of the characters from Misery to be analyzed in this essay.

Essay 5 character analysis

For the last essay assignment I am thinking I am going to do a character analysis of Clayton Riddell from The Cell. My reasons for choosing him are pretty simple, I really loved reading The Cell and I think that since I spent more time with this character than any other this semester this should be the easiest character to write about. Clay struggles with many issues and also serves as a mirror of the common man, the reader, allowing us to place ourselves in his position and winder “what would I do?” Clay must choose between his own best interests and those of his child, he also struggles with the concepts of defeat and loss. When reading this book I often marveled at how calm he always seemed to be and how well he was able to process what was happening around him. I immediately thought of all the true life stories you read of people saving others lives and they always say “I just did what had to be done” again and again Clay just always did what had to be done.

Was Clay a hero? That is an interesting question because in reality there weren’t many things that he did that were extraordinarily heroic to be honest. His most heroic act was that he just continued to carry on regardless of how chaotic the world got around him. The astounding cast of supporting characters often did the heavy lifting and without the insight that they provided it is most likely that Clay would never have made it to the end. For those of us that are parents I think we can truly agree and say Clay did what any good parent does, he put him self in harm’s way to take care of his son. What is so heroic about that?

Ideas for Essay 4

For essay 4 I am reviewing the issue of capital punishment. I believe in capital punishment and think that it is an acceptable form of punishment for some criminals. In the Green Mile, the entire book was centered on death row and prisoners who were going to be put to death. However, in the Green Mile prisoners were executed in an electric chair which seems like a cruel death. Today we have a lethal injection that is less painful. There are so many different views of capital punishment and whether it’s wrong or right; I will focus on why I believe its justified for some criminal cases.

I have read the novel the Green Mile and I have gotten a few major examples from the novel for my essay. John Coffey was sterotyped by his race and had no help in his case.

Essay 4 Ideas

At first I was drawing a blank about what I could write about that at least had some vague relevance to my novel but when I had my novel discussion I got a few ideas. We're reading The Green Mile and one of the ideas that came to mind was racism. Racism is in several areas in the book because it's based on the early 1900's during or at least around the Great Depression. Racism is still a relevant issue in today's world as well. It would probably be a fairly easy topic to work with. Another idea is the right to a fair trial. In the book, John Coffey's court decision was practically an open and shut case with hardly an idea of "innocent until proven guilty". I will have to decide on what to use soon but at least it's a start.

Annie plans to leave Paul in what he thinks is an alley. All he knows is that it is very dark. Annie was going to get rid of the police car by hiding it in the hills, but she couldn't take Paul with her because she would have no way to get him back down from the hills. Instead she puts him in the cellar. Another cop comes to the house, and Paul warns them that Annie might be dead. If she isn't dead, then they need to be careful because she is very dangerous. Paul was the one who ended up putting her to her death. In the very end, Paul is in his hotel room re-reading his manuscript and going over his story. Paul is a survivor.

Essay 4 Based on Misery

To be alone is a sad thing. Whether by choice or by terrible luck, when we are alone we feel helpless. It takes the form of a crushing hand grasping you by the heart threatening to wrench it from your chest to punish you for your foolhardiness. A person, regardless of whether they are a strong willed individual or a weak one, needs to be able to lean on someone every once in a while. Constant solitude brings about a form of thinking that is harmful to everyone around us, regardless of whether we love or hate them. When someone finally comes along to help offload everything you’ve built up, you cling to them desperately, praying they won’t leave you alone again to wallow in your doubt and self pity. To be part of something is an uplifting experience. When you find something you are able to be a part of, all that doubt and pity wash away and your soul feels free. A confidence will start to build a sort of support in yourself that when people go away you can cling to and know, eventually, there will be others to help you. In the event that no one comes to your aid, you’ll lash out violently. It may not be physical violence, but you could say something out of spite that you know will hurt someone worse than a thrown punch could. Emotionally you become detached, unable to be reached by anything except what you obsess over. When finally you have what you crave in your grasp you hurt it. You make it feel the pain you’ve felt, forcing it to deal with the pain of being alone, the joy of being a part of something, and then the coldness that spreads when the circle completes and you are alone again.

For my essay #4 I am going to have to pick a new topic. None of my topics for Essays 1-3 have any relation to social issues in the book Misery. My first two Essays were on the topic of technology in the medical field. My essay 3 was on mandatory HIV testing. The social issues raised in Misery are mental illness, the failure of our justice system, survival instincts, and post traumatic stress. In my novel one of the main characters was a nurse but I just don't see how the topic "is technology beneficial or detrimental in the medical field," an actual social issue raised. The failure of our justice system would give me a lot to write about because there are so many people that don't go to jail when they should have. There are also those that go to jail but don't get a long enough sentence, get out, repeat the crime or commit a different one, go back, get out, and repeat the same pattern. This just causes there to be more and more victims. Survival instincts would be something interesting for me to research. It can be amazing what people will do to survive. I recently watched the movie "127 Hours" which was based on a true story. A man was rock climing and fell into a hole where his arm was caught underneath a bolder. This man stayed there for about 5 days before he broke his own arm and cut it off with a dull pocket knife. I don't think I would ever be able to do this! You never know what you would do to survive if your life actually depended on it. Post traumatic stress syndrome would also make for interesting research. I am going to chose one of these three but I have not made my final decision yet.

Essay 4 Scramble

As of right now, my only idea for essay 4 would be to either extend on my second essay or to write about one man starting a dictatorship like in the book that we're reading in class. The only problen with extending on my first essay is I've already used most of my ideas in the paper already. I might consider broadening the topic of Gambling in Texas to Gambling worldwide to fit more information into the essay. On the other hand, Under the Dome has a good conflict of a man who tries to take an entire town over a time of crisis. I'm pretty sure most of the people can relate to the subject, but its alot to fit in a six page paper. I'm to indecisive and haven't made up my mind on what to write about. It just seems so much easier to write one page rather than six.

Ideas for essay 4

My novel of choice was Dolores Claiborne. Theres a ton of different issues in this novel so it makes it sort of easy to pick. I'm leaning more towards the spousal and child abuse. It's an interesting topic and it is something real that happens all the time, unfortunatly. I wrote about domestic abuse in my essay 3 and i enjoyed looking into the facts about it and what there is to do to help, so I'm sure this topic will be just as interesting to me.

Under The Dome #4

Andy Sanders has been thinking of his dead family and doesn't want to resort to killing himself, so he tries to find an alternate solution. A group of people, mainly Rust Everett, go down to the funeral home to investigate ther murders of several people. Rusty finds that Lester Coggins head had lumps with stitches that looked as though it were from a baseball that he had noticed in Jim Rennie's house. Rusty could also prove that Barbie is innocent through the time in wich Brenda Perkins was last seen on the day of the food riot. Rusty confronted Big Jim about the murder victims and how he knew what he had done, but Big Jim had officers waiting to have him arrested. Big Jim had Julia Shumway's Democrat press office burned to the ground, and also had some of the officers on a loud speakers framing Barbie's friends for doing so. Andy Sander's makes plans for the Chef to kill him, but actually makes friends and ends up smoking meth with him and following what the Chefs plans are. A group of people plan to break Barbie and Rusty out of jail before Big Jim executes them. Before Rusty had gotten sent to jail he and few other people went to go find the genorater or source to the dome. What he found was a strange box that had radiation from a distance but not up close to the source, and he thinks it's powering the dome. Many of the members of the town are grouping up with the cops and Big Jim. Colonel Cox calls Big Jim to tell him there is a press conference regarding his actions and threatens to put him in jail when the dome is gone unless he gives up his power, but Big Jim pays no attention to him. Junior has some trouble gaining conciousness and gets sent to the hospital and finds out he has a brain tumor. A huge Airplane crashes into the dome because someone forgot to re-program the computer to an alternate route. Colonel Cox holds a press conference previous of the one thats at the dome, regarding the press conference at the dome and a few other questions. A group of people are going to make a prison break for Barbie and Rusty with one of Big Jim's Old vans at the car lot, and they plan to hide them out at the generator of the dome. Andrea ends up finally finding the VADER file that Brenda left at her house the day she died. Jim Rennie needs some propane from Chef who wo'nt give it to him, so he arranges to go to war with them to get propane, meanwhile the rest of the town would be at the press conference.

Essay 4 for the novel

My novel is about 'Misery' and the name speak for its self. My essay four seem to be leaning onto expanding essay three. A major issue written in the essay 3 was the abuse of children in a domestic violence of a home. They are torn in the objective meaning of the word mother and father. In the novel it has a similar characteristics except that it only involves the victim and abuser. It would reflect how the different mines of people in coping with reality, and the survival instinct to live regardless of the circumstances . Annie, she has a need to kill and heal the people needed to help, being she was in the nurse profession. As for Paul, he is more focus in surviving to finish a book regardless knowing he could die after the novel is done. Then he does little things in between to be ready for confrontation and to stay alive to get out.

Ideas for Essay 4

I am not sure what I am going to make my essay 4 about yet. My novel was Dolores Claiborne and its not like there aren't a ton of social issues in that novel, I am just not sure which I am going to pick. I thought about going with like alcaholism or spousal abuse but both of those issues seem to common or too easy to pick and while both of them would be easy to write about and easy to find sources, I don't think it would be interesting to read about it. Again. So with that said I am leaning towards writing my essay on the social issues dealing with elderly abuse in nursing homes and elderly abuse with caretakers. I know that also is an overused subject as well but I think it will be more interesting for me to research because I personally do not know alot on the subject myself. While Dolores didn't abuse Vera,( it was more the other way around) it still brought to my mind that particular issue, so that I believe, is what I will be writing my essay on. I might throw in a couple more issues also.

Essay 4: Expanding on Essay 3

Since my third essay was on the topic of capital punishment - and that topic in itself could have a novel written about it - my plan is to add on a couple more testimonies and statistical examples to support my position concerning the fiscal benifits of abolishing the death penalty nationally. Hopefully this will be a relatively painless process, considering the fact that the deadline for this six to eight page paper happens to fall in around the same time as two other major assignments in my other classes...weak.

Green Mile part 4

During part of 4 of The Green Mile we are the loop when Paul throws in a crazy idea to save Warden Moores wife. He begins by telling his right hand man Brutal well obviously Brutal says its not the best idea but paul says it needs to be done.

Misery #4

At this point in the book, Paul was very careful to choose his words because he never knew when Annie would snap on him about anything. Paul was still being tortured by Annie up until this point because she had cut off his thumb and his left leg from the knee down. She fixed him a birthday cake and placed his thumb on it as a candle and gave it to him to eat, although he did not eat it. Annie was always being teased by the kids that are her neighbors because they know that she's physco. Paul was more focused and conscience of writing the novel because he knew he was almost to the end of it. There was a new character involved, a cop, who was very sharp and well dressed. He went to Annie's house looking for Paul because they had found his car and Annie kills the cop. Paul has a calendar in his room and is keeping track of everything, still fighting to escape.

Essay 4, polygamy, is Big Love BS?

Channel flipping and I stumbled across this show, I am sure many of you have heard of it before, Sister Wives. Where do I start? I am a sucker for reality tv, let me disclose that bit of information first. There is something almost taboo about seeing the intimate workings of others lives, it is the same misperception of intimacy that we get from social networking sites. The premise of this show of following a family that is practicing polygamy. At first I was creeped out by the concept of it all to be honest. What kind of sleaze ball man would be traipsing around like a dog with all of these women catering to his every whim? And what sort of low self esteem would cause a woman to believe that this is somehow ok? Then I really watched this show, these were not ignorant of brow beaten women. This relationship was working for all of them. Each woman felt empowered and equal, the children were happy and smart and well cared for. This left me with one question, do we criminalize polygamy because it makes us uncomfortable? Does it boil down to our lack of tolerance for things that are different from us?

I am thinking that for essay 4 I want to explore the culture of polygamy, starting with the religious history of the practice and the legal history leading up to it being criminalized. The most well known aspect of polygamy is the history in the Mormon church and the battle to maintain legality in Utah prior to gaining statehood, the truth is though that there are other religions and cultures that practice polygamy and it was the cultural norm for thousands of years. I haven’t started much research so I don’t know how much has been written about the topic, however with all of the madness a few years ago with YFZ compound I feel like this is a relevant topic for many people even if it isn’t something that most of us think about often. Besides, I really like to write about potentially explosive ideas and take the less popular side of the argument.

Misery #3

It begins with Paul venturing off through the house while Annie is away. He checks out every room but is on the clock, fearful that he will be caught by Annie, who physically hurts him for punishment. While he’s in the kitchen he hunts for food in her pantry he refers to as a “survivalist’s bomb shelter” trying to find food that she would realize was missing. He grabs sardines, raisins, and a single serving of cereal, hopefully small amounts she wouldn’t miss. Rollin back to his room, Paul finds a scrapbook that catches his eye, “Memory Lane.” While flipping through the book Paul finds many newspaper clippings that uncover even more of Annie’s dark side. Stories of people having accidents. Why would she have these saved in a scrapbook unless they were meaningful? The stories happened almost five years apart and in two different towns, reported by different newspapers. Paul knew Annie was crazy, but now he knows for a fact she’s a killer. Her father, her roommate, children, families, sick patients she was taking care of, people she didn’t even know… the newspaper clippings continued. It seemed as if she was killing people off to better herself in some sick manner. The next day when Annie returns she has noticed that Paul has escaped from the room multiple times. Livid, Annie punishes Paul by getting an axe and severing his left foot, right above the ankle, then taking a torch to it to stop the bleeding. Paul is getting closer to death as the days pass, unless he kills her first.

Green Mile 3

Perhaps the most prominent issue touched on by Stephen King in "The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix" is Percy's actions during his first execution; and for that matter why he was present at the execution in the first place. King outlines the fundamental corruption in Cold Mountain's prison system, which is that because Percy Wetmore is related to the Governor, he can do anything he wants (i.e. beating Delacroix badly with no consequence) Paul was told by the warden earlier in the story that Percy was to attend the execution of Eduard Delacroix (and later that he was to play a part in it). During electrocutions a sponge was soaked in brine (salt water) to conduct the electricity through a persons body smoothly. Percy Intentionally failed to wet the sponge during Delacroix's execution, which caused the electricity to pop and catch fire, melting the mask on Del's face and setting his hair and face ablaze. Although the mood on the mile changed afterward, Percy's connections would prevail, and he got away with it.

Carrie Discussion 3

New Characters: Billy Nolan's friends Henry Blake Steve Deighan Kenny Garson Lou Garson Jackie Talbot Summary: In this section, Carrie really starts using her telekinesis.

She realizes that this is the perfect time to kill Joe. They start fighting and she backs him into a well and he falls in, but he didn’t die from the fall so she throws a rock at his head.

Part 3 of the green mile

The social issues covered in this section would definitley be the issues of police brutality and corruption within the prison unit. With Eduard Delacriox's horrible execution art this hands of percy wetmore, ( he did not wet the sponge) and the black mailing involved in getting percy to lead the execution. we think that king wants to show his readers that even though police guards are somewhat put on a petastoll in society they can still be corrupt. Also covered was the issues of racism once more with the reporter that covered john Coffey saying that negroes are much like rabid dogs. You cannot trust them. King has interesting ways of bringing these issues to light. There was one new character introduced in the old folks home where paul resides prestent day. His name was Brad dolan and he shared many qualities with percy.

Essay 3

My topic choice is a very sensitive topic in the eyes of society. It seems to get overlooked or "pushed to the side" by the majority and it affects more people than most know or would ever hope to imagine. My topic is child abuse. Not just physical but mental and emotional as well. This childhood tragedy is outragoeously too common. I believe that if paernts and neighbors knew what to look for there would be a decrease in lives ruined and scarred. Children could be blissfully ignorant and hold on to their innocense for as long as they could.

essay 3: going green

thinking about this essay has really turned my brain, i have been thinking about all kinds of things i could write about like obesity in America, nuclear bombing, gun control, and other things. this essay topic has left it very open to what we can write about to just about anything we can think of. i think i am finally going to grab the topic about going green in the automobile industry. with all the new technology coming out we have cars that can use no gasoline, that would really help out our environment and stop people in the U.S. paying an arm and a leg to fill up there cars and trucks. in Texas we are known to have everything bigger, we have more trucks, and bigger trucks. we have all this solar power technology that is not getting used as much as it should be being used. i think i can write a good argument on the issue, who knows maybe it'll even open your eyes to thinking about going at least a little more green.

Wasteland

Pollution has a negative effect on the world today and even looks worse towards the future. So many people never take prevention seriously because they don't realize what's going to happen until it hits you. With todays technology prevention should be a number one priorty, or at least using non toxic or non hazardous material. BP just had the largest oil spill in U.S. history in 2010. There are even plans to make a hollywood production after the catastrauphic event, as if we want to remember. Japan just had an earthqauke that caused a tsunami large enough to damage a nuclear power plant and send radiation into the environment. In both instances people were worried about money rather than the stable environment for wich people live in. They were trying to cut corners in BP's exlposion to make things go faster, and for some reason in Japan they built a dangerous nuclear power plant on a fault line. I also like to go fishing and hunting outdoors. Pollution as far as in the water or in the air is going to kill everything in the ecosystem making it unsuitable for anything to live.

racism

Racism is the still a big problem in this day in age. Its not just in the U.S. that racism occurs its all over the world. It was a big thing back in the old day that racism was a way of life it was a sin to even be in a relationship with a colored person. Its still a big thing now which is ridiculous but if we all put forth effort we could resolve this huge social problem.

Essay 3- Legalizing Marijuana

I am writing Essay 3 about legalizing marijuana. It’s definitely not the biggest social issue out there today; however, it is an unnecessary focused topic. Since there are much more important things going on I do not understand why so much of the limelight is on penalty for marijuana users. Even if not legalizing it, I do think that less punishment should be considered. Over 68,000 people got arrested just last year and many lost jobs. Is it really that crucial? Marijuana is actually less dangerous than alcohol, cigarettes, and most over-the-counter medicines or prescriptions. Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest substances known to man. Marijuana is illegal in the United States when alcohol poisoning is a major cause of death and approximately 400,000 premature deaths are attributed to cigarettes a year. Being an alcoholic can result in inability to talk, walk, function, and even death. How often do you hear about someone overdosing on marijuana? There are no records of any deaths due to marijuana. Aspirin is completely legal but if you take 12 of them it will be your last headache. In places such as California, people are prescribed marijuana for health purposes, involving anxiety, high blood pressure, nausea suffered by cancer patients, and glaucoma. The government could also benefit from making billions of dollars a year from taxing marijuana, which would help with our country’s huge debt. These are only a few reasons why I believe it should be legalized, or at least less of a penalty.

Ideas for Essay 3

This topic for essay 3 is really complicated i havent figured out what i want to write about but if any suggestions or ideas will help iam ganna be thinking about ideas and hopefully i find what i want to write about.

Social Issues essay 3

For this essay I think the social issue I will choose is racism or racial tension. Whether it be about the color of peoples skin or how some people think that every Muslim is going to bomb you. This is a very real issue in our world today. It's a very controversial issue. I don't see why some people can live their lives and wake up everyday holding prejudice against a certain race.

Here is the definition of racism Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that ethnic differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

So in essay 3 I plan to get to the bottom of things such as what leads to it or what causes it. How it can be stopped, and ect.

Essay 3 pre-write

I find that torture is a very serious problem. Torture is useful to a degree, but it should only be used in extreme cases. However, most of the time the information we recieve is mostly made up so that they can stop the pain. Though sometimes it does work, other times it is problematic. There are easier methods to get information, according to some people. I find that torture only works with certain methods like waterboarding and clipping off fingernails. Torture might not be humane, but it does work every now and then. So in special cases, I believe torture should be allowed to use against the enemies of the United States.

essay 3

There are many soical issues it hard to chose which one i would like to write about in essay 3. Im leaning towards Teen Pregnancy. Pregnancy is an major problem in teens. The problem is teens lack in knowledge about how to prevent pregnancy.Not all young ladies have that mother figure to guide them in the right way . However in most families young ladies are afaid to speak about sex with there parents.Some parents feel if they speak about sex with their kids it will encouge them to do it .If this problem isnt fixed it would led to more pregnancy in america.

Essay 3

I have, unfortunately, not looked at my syllabus for class until today, so I'm about a week and a half behind (spring brake wasn't quite long enough). Due to that, and a combination of procrastination and lack of time, I haven't exactly come up with an idea for this essay...haha whoops. I've been tossing a few ideas around, but I'm leaning toward one in particular. Since I'm reading The Green Mile, I figured I'd go with the death penalty. It's still a major moral and social issue today - not the electric chair being cruel and unusual; just the death penalty in general - and I'll have the book as a source to tie into my paper and make it longer, which always helps. The only problem, however, is a solution to the problem...Individual states still control the right - independently, that is - to enforce the death penalty or ban it. Due to the moral stand still on the issue, and the ongoing power struggle between governmental powers (and rights) on a state versus a federal level, a nationwide solution has failed to come about. Well, that about sums up my idea, or lack thereof. Any ideas or suggestions are encouraged and more than welcome. Thanks

Proposal Paper

Since I am obviously a student, I am also a part-time employee, a full time student, and full time mother. My time is limited for each one. Words such as: funds, decrease, and limited catch my ears, so once I heard about the education funds, such as financial aid was being decreased, I immediately got interested. People in my situation are obviously affected greatly, however, any student is affected in some way. The way the government is going, eventually they will have nothing for us, and this is such a big problem, it is a failing cycle that is taking place right now. I rather not get into pointing fingers as to whose fault it is, this president, that president, because that will only be a matter of opinion and thats not exactly the direction my proposal is going, but i will say this is not a new problem and it did not occur within in the past few years, but back then I was not interested because up until 2008 I was a high school student and financial aid was not a concern of mine. Realistically, we are "common citizens" and who really has the money to hand out for their education.? I honestly have no idea how much money have already spent towards my education. I am not a tax paying citizens, but people in my house hold are and i just cannot agree with spending muli millions, even billions on a ten+ year war at the expense of my education being thrown out of the budget list. As I continue my research, my solution will become more vivid and realistic. I cannot go to the White House and start a riot and have thousands of people and signs screaming "no funds, no peace" and what not, but I will take action as far as possible from Texas City, Tx.

Replies essay 3- health issues.

I am worry that  what is going to happen for our health care; it is very important put more attention about the new laws. I think that we need more help from people in the congress to do something about saving lifes. Now everything is cutting about budgets, but they are expending money in other things that it is not necesary..Health is the priority for people!!!

Cell#2

In the Malden section of the novel Cell we haven't had the addition of any new long term characters, however there have been several characters cross the path of our original trio. The first run in was with a person only referrred to as "the plump woman." Her interaction was limited to forcing her views of end times and tribulation on Alice. I know this will be offensive to some and controversial at best, but I was thrilled when Tom punched her. This type of Christian is the archetype of the judgemental and inappropriate believer.

Next our gang ran into what could easily be the polar opposite, a drunken brawl over a keg. The brief interaction with the one man involved was a glimpse into how some parts of society devolve in the face of disaster. Lawlessness allows some to fully be the least that they can be.

Can I argue that the cat is a character? It seems to be relevant to Tom in the way that pets tend to be to those who don't have kids sometimes. At the end of the section when the group is set to head out it is most difficult for Tom to leave Rafe, his sense of duty and obligation is one of the last things tying him to his old reality.

Enter George the Pumpkin Eater. His appearance in the yard in the morning allows Tom, Clay and Alice to observe the "phone crazies" closely and learn what they are capable of, their habits and limitations. It seems that the zombies are able to have some thought, George uses a tool to break the pumpkin, they are evolving it seems and following some sort of pattern that our group has yet to figure out.

I think the biggest and most debatable social issue I see is that of religion. Of course I am sensitive to that topic and that is arguably why it jumps out at me. How does an event like this fit into a free-will based theology?

That is my summary so far, the other student in my group feels like King has done a great job painting a post-apocaplyptic scene, the traveling stragglers, huddled masses, humanity reduced to its most essential state.

We both agree that we are really looking forward to seeing the story unfold.

The Green Mile #2

In part two we are told about Delacroix and his arrival to Green Mile. He came before John Coffey and was brought in by Percy Wetmore. Right away Percy is beating Delacroix before Percy even gets Delacroix to his cell. Percy says that Delacroix was trying to fill him up, which was a complete lie. Percy just wanted an excuse to beat Delacroix. The other guards then jumped in and stopped Percy from beating on Delacroix. That kind of behavior in not tolerated on Green Mile. Shortly after Delacroix gets there the mouse that had been seen on Green Mile, named steam boat Willy by the guards became Delacroix pet. There is something special about this mouse and he is attached to Delacroix who names him Mr. Jingles. During this time Paul Edgecomb is suffering from a terrible UTI which is causing him serve pain when he pees. He doesn’t want to seek treatment for the UTI, instead opting to wait it out and letting it go away on its own. John Coffey then “heals” Paul’s UTI infection by laying his hands on him. Paul says he can feel the pain leave his body and is completely healed. Paul is dumb founded by what John Coffey did and isn’t sure what to make of it. William Wharton is brought into the Green Mile and starts fighting with the guards as he is fixing to reach the Green Mile. William almost kills the guard Dean and Percy is just standing there watching everything happen. Percy doesn’t jump in to help or just his baton that he is constantly showing off. His lack of action shows just how cowardly he is. Dean gets help and is okay after all. William is now known for his wild behavior and ends up in the solitary confinement a few times for bad behavior. Paul learns about Warden Moore wife brain tumor and finds out she is dying. She doesn’t have long to live and Warden Moore is taking the news hard. Paul is still thinking about John Coffey and is wondering how someone who seems so gentle and kind could be a killer. Paul goes to talk to the reporter of the newspaper about the John Coffey case. I think Paul’s doubt about whether or not John Coffey actually killed those kids is brought upon John Coffey “healing” him. Back on Green Mile, Percy Wetmore gets assaulted by William, as Percy is walking to close to his cell and William grabs him through the bars. William basically assaults Percy and tells him these derogatory remarks about what sexual things he would like to do to Percy. Percy being the coward that he is; is terrified by William and his comments. Percy is fine and no physical harm is done to him, but he pees his pants in the process. Delacroix takes advantage of this and basically laughs and makes fun of Percy for peeing his self. Percy is very upset. A few nights later Percy kills Mr. Jingles by crushing him with his boot right in front of Delacroix.

The social issues that I see is certainly the homophobia of gays or gay acts. Percy uses the excuse that Delacroix was trying to “touch” him, so that Percy can beat Delacroix. And then William basically assaults Percy with threats of homosexual acts. Again, the racism of black people is present and I believe will continue to be throughout the book.

essay 3

I am not sure what to write about. I would like to change things up, last two essays have been about criminal justice. There is a lot to pick from as far as social issues, I read the Faigley Propasal and it was interesting. It helped me understand the best ways to pick a topic, so I will have a subject picked out by the end of the evening. If anyone has any ideas to throw at me that will be great.

Pondering on Essay 3

My first two papers were focused on technology in the medical field. For this paper, I want to keep my focus in the medical genre, but I want to focus more on the social issues that are causing diseases to spread more quickly than in past times. I am not sure which disease I want to focus on. Maybe I will write on a disease such as MRSA or VRE that is spread by contact. I haven't quite decided on the specifics. As far as a back-up plan goes I was thinking along the lines of xenotransplantation. It is an interesting topic that I have yet to really pick a side on. I'm riding the fence on my opinion as far as having animal parts inside of me. Even if it meant life or death I don't know if I would be able to accept an animal part in exchange for one of my human parts. Honestly would you want that? I'm debating right now. Any opinions?
