Fornue, E. Essay IV thesis idea

After reading "The Dead Zone" written by Stephen King. I realized that there were issues from psychotic anger to rape. From deep sleep comas to psychic abilities and fame. In the book Greg Stillson has an anger management problem. Frank Dodd raping all those victims and finaly comminting suicide. John Smith in a four year coma, his psychic ability and wanting to defuse the media about his psychic capability. After doing some thinking I finally made my desicion to go with the coma route. Having a loved one in a coma position is difficult for people. With the expenses of keeping the loved one alive. Doctors advising you to pull the life-support. To Hoping the loved one awakes before money runs out and having to pull the plug. If the loved one made it, the issues of being in a coma state for various days to years. In John Smith's case which he lost the love of his life Sarah during his four year coma. The thought of feeling like beautiful precious time was stolen from you. So my thesis will surround coma effects. What effects does the patient have during and after a coma? How does a loved one in a coma state affect the family? What laws are in effect on coma issues?

Fred Gundermann Essay IV Stephen King

I have read the book Carrie and i really aprove of it but i must say im not to much of a reader but this book got me hooked and i can only say that the movie makes it look like crap. The main incedent that takes place is that carrie hit her period (first) and knew nothing about it and never knew what was happeing untill the girls in the gym class started to chant plug it up. she really never was the accepted type so it made matters worse. of course if a daily teased person gets completely humiliated like this somthing is bound to happen a magnatude greater than the origanal heartbreak. once she gets teased gose to principals office then gose home she discovers she has powers( of course she has powers why else would it be a book if not then it would be in the mind of Stephen king still, something has to be farfetched.) she gose on ignoreing that the incedent happened and sue asked her boy friend to take carrie to the prom and did so. Chris was another young lady involved in the canting along with Sue. Chris was rejected from prom for the chanting, and she decided to get carrie back. the plan was to spill pig blood all over her when she becomes queen. it was rigged thanks to fred, an acomplice to the blood spilling. and when prom night came Carrie got Queen and the pale fell. she got pist off and used her powers to lock doors shut. set off fire sprinklers witch short circuted the sterio equipment starting a fire. Carrie left the school but held the doors shut thanks to her telekanisis. she went threw the town desrtoyed all fire hydrants so the fire will keep burning. She went home to kill her mother for all the pain and such and they got into it and Carrie ended up with a kleiver in her left carrar bone. she killed her mom and left the house. the kliever strill remained in her while walking throught the town. also the mother constantly abused her and yelled at her for her not doing the right thing acording to jesue christ. she was a religious freak. she came across chris and billy trying to leave the Hop and killed them by causeing the car to swurve into a tree and she made it explode. she also was seting all the places in town on fire as she went home. she last came across sue in a parking lot and asked for help she wanted her mother and felt cold sue was holding her and she died then and there. then there were court reveiws over what had happend in the book as the last chapter and it seem to be that everyone that went on the stand as a witness could not say that they truley saw carrie do these things cuz those who did were killed. they just put it on her. they said if felt like it was carrie or carrie wouldve snapped......but she got what she wanted and that is what we see today at all the school shootings now.

Keith Beanland's Essay 4 Topic

I am going to write my essay about the effects of discrimination. In 'Salem's Lot there are many instances in the novel where the main characters were gossiped about and discriminated against simply because of the fact that they were new and unknown to the towns people.
Discrimination is simply a cheap tool used when someone has nothing better to say for lack of knowledge about that person or persons. In this essay I'm going to write about how discrimination has effected the world and use many examples. I will also include examples of discrimination that is still going on in today's world.

essay 4 ...trace

well at first i had a hard time finding a subject, then our group realized that we should use the novel as a springboard for our subject. i read 'Salem's Lot and in the novel a major issue was discrimination from the community. it affected every aspect of the plot. so i decided to write about the entire american people discriminating against all muslims. many people do not realize that the people who flew into the trade centers were barely even considered muslims. they are extreemist, rradical and not peaceful. true muslims are calm and peaceful in all aspects of their life. i will write about the problems of the us citizens discriminating.

I would be using examples of history that could be changed and its implications, and also when bad things happened in history that turned out to be better for the world in the long run.

The Death Penalty

As I was reading "The Green Mile", the subject of the Death Penalty kept haunting me. I believe that the Death Penalty is justified in certain situations such as for serial rapists, serial killers, and repeated child molesters. We shouldn't have to feed and house these "soulless people".
Imagine if your child was a victim of a serial rapist. Suppose she had been totally devastated, and possibly would be throughout her entire life. Her rapist may as well have killed her. She would be more likely to commit suicide, suffer alcoholism, suffer drug abuse, and probably have some sort of sexual problem for the rest of her life. She would suffer from the constant fear of being raped again, and more than likely suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Her chances of having a normal, happy, and meaningful life would be next to none. That is no kind of life for her to live. And the people that she's surrounded by, the one's that love and care for her, suffer as well. That awful excuse for a human being; the one that raped her also killed her. Maybe not in the literal sense, but everything she once was, is gone now.
It takes forever to come to terms with being raped, and go on with your life. Not everyone is strong enough to get over certain traumatic events in their lives, if they are able to at all.
The Law says that all citizens have to pay taxes. These same taxes feed, clothe, and house these sorry excuses for human beings. Convicted murderers on Death Row have the freedom to write stories and get royalties from selling the book(s) that they write. They even get more money if one of their books is made into a movie. I believe that this is very wrong. That's not the kind of message that I would want to send the victims of these God awful crimes.
Some people believe that it's okay for these convicts to go on living their lives. I do not agree. I cannot help think about their victim(s), and their victim(s) families. Justice has to intervene, or killing, raping, and molesting will keep progressing.
Now don't get me wrong, not all people on death row should be executed. There are special circumstances in many cases. Some murderers are on Death Row for killing a repeated child molester who hurt, or possibly killed one of their relatives or a loved one. I don't believe in taking the law into your own hands, but I can certainly understand why someone would want revenge for molesting, raping or killing their loved one.
In King's novel "The Green Mile" Paul, the Head Guard has a hard time coming to terms with putting a gifted man to death. John Coffey is a huge black man, he's kind of slow, and he's a gift from God. He has the power to heal and sometimes he can revive the dead, but he has to do it within seconds of their deaths or it doesn't work. Coffey is convicted of raping and killing two little girls, that happen to be twins. Coffey found the girls out in the woods, and tried to save them, but it was too late. The law catches Coffey with both little girls in his arms; their bloody heads lying on Coffey's chest. Although he is innocent, Coffey is tried and convicted of the little girls rapes and murders. Paul struggles knowing that Coffey is innocent, and wants to try and figure out a way to save Coffey, but Coffey wants to die. It's Paul's responsibility for making sure Coffey's executed, and since Coffey wants to die, that makes Paul's job a little easier. Paul has a better chance of living with himself, as well as having a better idea of what he's going to tell God when Paul makes it to the Pearly Gates.
The Bible tells us that we do not have the right to take a life. Only God has the right for revenge, but it also states an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. When our forefathers started this Nation, they based our judicial system on the Bible. Prisoner's were put to death for such things as stealing horses or cattle. We have came a long way since then. The Law tells us that we cannot kill another human being. The Law says that if we do kill another, we will be put to death, as well.
A convicted murderer should die. They should suffer the same fate as their victims. Maybe that will make someone think harder before they molest, rape or kill little girls and boys. I know that some of you reading this may think that this sounds pretty brutal, but life is brutal. If you take a life, you should expect to die as well.

Shae's Idea of Racism!!! Is it still an issue in today's society.

My issue comes from the book "The Green Mile" by Stephen King. This book was about a man telling a story of his experience working in a penetentiary on death row. He retells the the events of how his life changed when a man named John Coffey walked the Mile. John Coffey was a black man who was accused, charged, and sentenced to death for the murder and rape of two white girls.
I feel as though regardless that Coffey was captured with the two dead girls in his arms, he still deserved a fair trial. He did not receive a fair trial basically because he was black. If there had been a white man holding those girls they would have taken every resource to prove that the white man was innocent. Racism is still an issue today. A lot of people dont feel it is an issue anymore because they dont see the burning crosses in the yards of black people and the lenchings like back in the day but, it still thrives.
I am totally against racism. It is not fair for people to be judged by skin color, religion, race, and etc.
