Pet Sematary

  I'm currently reading the book "Pet Sematary" by Stephen King. What I have noticed about this book is that the author does a really good job of describing every little detail in the story. I like the way that the author wrote the book with a lot of detail because I can picture the story in my head easily. King does a good job of writing about the setting of the book.
  Within the first sentence I learned a lot about the main character already. " Louis Creed, who had lost his father at three and who had never known a grandfather, never expected to find a father as he entered his middle age, but that was exactly what happened...although he called this man a friend..."(3). This sentence described the main character's life and family. This already gave me a picture of how the man lives and what exactly happens before the story is started.
  Another way that King makes his story very good is that he describes every little detail in the setting. " The engine ticked, In the silence, which seemed very big after Chicago and the bustle of state street and the loop, a bird sang sweetly in the late afternoon." In this excerpt he described every little detail like how the engine ticked and how a bird was singing in the late afternoon, this just gives me a bigger picture and i can clearly see what's happening.
  I just started reading this book and I like the book already, I like the book because of all the descriptions that the author King writes in the book. It gives me a good idea of what the setting would look and this just makes the book more interesting to read.

Hell's Heroes

  I've noticed how Grubbs in "Hell's Heroes" is afraid of the truth. Everyone has fears that they're afraid to overcome and i think Grubbs has one, and it's the truth that he's afraid of. In the book Grubbs was hesitating about wheter or not he should go into Lord Loss's relam and kill Bec. Bec is a very dangeroues person and she was or still is a good person. Grubbs had these weird dreams about how Bec was back stabbing everyone on earth. I find this very intersting because of how Grubbs is a "animal" on the outside but inside, he's just like everyone else.
  Grubbs is half Werewolf and half Magician. He isnt the magician that perform tricks, he can cast spells and kill things. Grubbs acts like a wanton in front of everyone (the humans), everyone on earth fears him but they know that when he's nearby they're safe, safe from the demon invading earth. Grubbs isnt what they think he is, he is still half human. Everyday at night he's afraid to sleep, he's afraid because he has visions, visions of the truth. He's lieing to everyone that he's with saying that he doesnt know where Bec is. He's just afraid to find out that this is the end, Bec has gone into allinace with the demons.
   I can connect to how Grubbs feels to how the main character in the book "Dark Calling" feels. The main character in the book "dark calling" knows that the world is going to end, but he still wouldn't let go. He still fights even when he knows that there isn't hope. I think they feel that way because they have been fighting too long to give up. They don't want to give up what they do have without a fight, they want to think that there is hope left even when there isnt, they are brave and strong but they are still human even though they have changed their apperance.
  The main characters are very brave to keep on fighting even when there is no hope. They fear that this is the truth, that this is realality and this is acually happening. They are still fighting because they believe that there is still something worth fighting for, people want to get away from the truth but at the end they still have to face it.
