I love this story, I have read it many many times. As a kid/teen, I loved it for its bizarre twist, as an adult that still plays into it, But as an adult, I love trying to read into and find the author’s theme or extrapolate my own. What I wonder is if Mr. King meant this to be an analogy for...

Hey guys (and gals) I’m pretty excited and need to crow a bit. I have finished a unit/worksheet/assessment (pick your terminology) for every collected short story, poem, or essay by my favorite author Stephen King. I have all of the stories up on Teachers pay Teachers for 2 bucks each and...

Have you seen the movie? Cause I think it ruined the book for me, I saw it first and thought the movie was brilliant. The book not so much. Great concept though.

OOHHH its got a delicious little tongue roll in there.

Ok two questions 1. What is your favorite word that seems to come up in Kings writing? It can be for any reason. For me, it’s based on sound and the way it feels when you say it. 2. The second is do you a favorite word in general? If so what is it? Mine: 1.Palsied, King seemed to use it a...

I like the story quite a bit, but as a movie how is it anything other than John Carpenter's They Live with smoking instead of sunglasses. I love story recently reread it. I would love to see a book accurate "Batman" on the screen though.

Wow, was just rereading this, what a tear-jerker. Hope this doesn’t sound insensitive, but every year we have to do 9/11 stuff on the day in my classes (sort of mandatory). I don't like it. It is "never forget" type stuff for kids that have no connection to the event. It is the same trying to...

Right, was aware, but I think in the future we'll look at cultural impact among other things and that it will be wider spread. But it deserves to be there in the classroom. I believe that 100%. I love to take a Dark Tower class that examined the interconnectedness of King's work.

Another good comparison, Good writer, likable, relatable, a celebrity author. I just wish Mr. King did more public speaking tours like Twain. I'm still contemplating whether or not to go see him and Owen in Chicago. I'm 2.5-3 hrs a way and I would have to bust out early after my last core...

Words right out of my mouth. The Bard did things with language that are mind boggling to this day, King does this with story but not so much language. That isn't meant to take anything away from King's writing, he's damn fine writer and my favorite, but 500 years from now I don't think it is as...

LOVE IT!

I watched this last year, about this time. I didn't hate it but I knew it's not very good either. A couple of stand out moments for me were the opening outbreak, the football field, and the ending. While I didn't mind the books ending, I actually thought this was an improvement and felt more...

I watch the first season and the some of the second at some point my wife and I felt it was too soap operaie. I love the book. I think one thing that people have to consider is that a movie, video game, comic, or Tv show is its own thing and that’s how you have to measure it, on its own merits...

I suggest Ready Player One, I am Legend, and any thing by Malcome Gladwell. OOH and if you haven't read Nos4a2 you're missing out.

This actually was an episode of Tales From the Dark Side first broadcast November 25, 1984, as part of season one. It’s a great short story. And there is a bit of a twist on this type of wish fulfillment narrative despite the foreshadowing that it will not go well. The neighbor Mr. Nordoff...

No worries (I don't know the Latin for that one) and many thanks! Please check out my store (if you’re a King fan you should know its name), If there is anything I can do to help learners, if there are questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me. while this may put a little coin...

Bit of a lurker I guess. Even though there are a couple of threads I'd love to deep dive into, but I don't want to get devoured by it. I tend to obsess. I have some thoughts on dollarbabies and The long walk is my favorite book, read it when I was 15 and read it at least a dozen times. There are...

Thanks, I am just out here "struggle'n and hustle'n". Most teachers I know have to get a second gig to make ends meet this is my attempt to not have to do that. So sort of like Rick Hardin in Rest Stop I did not teach summer school this year, so I could give the teacher pay teachers thing a try.

Sorry, I did know/think it was an active link or that I could not write a web address in a post. trying to follow the rule. I will let the sleeping dog lay, again sorry.

I asked Ms. Mod and was given the ok.
