MISERY # 1
The social issue are; Mental illness, kidnapping, and physical and mental abuse
Paul the author of the bestselling novel Misery, is on his way home when he crashes is car.
Annie a nurse has rescued him and taken him to her home, where at first helps him overcome his injuries.
She locates his book and reads it realizing that he his killing Misery, she then becomes unstable and makes him rewrite the book.
The Green Mile
The main events of the plot so far in the Green Mile is really still developing. The book is still in its introduction phase. Paul Edgecome is the main character and is head guard and fellow guards are Dean Stanton, Harry Terwilliger, Brutus Howell, and Percey Wetmore. Percey Wetmore is a pain in the butt who thinks he can do anything he wants because he has family in high places. John Coffey is the main inmate in the story accused of killing and raping twin girls. Also, introduced is Delacroix a Frenchman who is currently waiting the electric chair. The story of how John Coffey an abnormally large African American man is found with two white little girls dead in his hands. He is charged and convicted of killing and raping these two little girls. The main social issue noticed right away is the racism that is still current in the story. They story is being told happened in 30's and black people are still regarded as below white people. I look forward to see where the story goes.
