SO many people don't--I've read the Torah and Talmud too--to be informed. I think there are lots of people who don't think of the 'Bible' as a real book even-they think of it as a manual, but it IS written in book form utilizing metaphors, personal stories and such. It's written in the same style of "apocalyptic literature" from the same time--and I think it's important to note the other works of the time and the human influence on what is seen as the direct word of God.<br />-and I worked at a juvenile detention center in college and met a girl who reminded me of Carrie and had stabbed 2 kids on the PLAYGROUND!! PLAYGROUND--SHe was 9!!!!

Carrie was scary because everyone knows a "Carrie" and the fact that this weak, defenless girl could kill a whole neighbourhood is scary. I remember a story in our local newspaper, about a seventeen yr old girl who shot her classmates and family. I was like "Whoa, Carrie alert" is the same situation, just without telekinesis.<br />Cujo and Misery both relly on the power of isolation and confinment and both deal with realistic situations. I bet their is an "Aniie Wilks" out there.<br />Even The Shining was realistic in the whole concept of cabin fever.<br /><br />I read the whole bible....(nerd)....did you??NoahOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118008603495371474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288443439590995245.post-21508033469346120632009-04-19T00:16:00.000-07:002009-04-19T00:16:00.000-07:00I had an argument with someone about the Stephen K...I had an argument with someone about the Stephen King works. So many people who haven't read him think he's cheap thrills and gore, but this is so untrue. It reminds of those who haven't read the whole 'Bible' but still think they know it--they even base their life on it without reading it.Pen Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443147029903410419noreply@blogger.com
