Stephen King's stories and ideas

In Stephen King's novel King says that his good story ideas come out of the blue. Stories also come ot me out of the blue, because ofa certain situation or moral dilemma. Stories most of the time are never thought about, they usually do almost always come out of the blue, because people have a certain idea that comes from a situation at the the time. King thinks of his stories from situations, characters and moral dilemma's like everyone else who writes. It is difficult to come up with a story just for fun and write a novel and King understands this. He writes diligently and knows how to connect his writing towards he readers emotion.


Stephen King also discusses that he got ideas from dreams that he had. Many also have the same thing happen to them, when they begin writing. Dreams are ways that many writers get ideas, beause of the fact that it is a mix of some fantasy and some reality. I have gotten many ideas from dreams that I have had. This is because of the fact that dreams are ways that many escape from reality and are a great use for writing.

The Blues of Women

Down under the pear tree is where she may roam
Running, and running in hope of a home
Through all of the hardships and through all of the fun
finding some kind of peace underneath suns horizon
Whether being beaten down by man
or deep within her thoats
She knows not of "man's" evil plots
Starks is the name that no other beholds
watching love turn to failure as the story unfolds
Reaching for new hope at the start of the dawn
for Jody is dead and Starks is gone

Janie's Decisions

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer."  Write a speculative response on what the upocoming year will hold for Janie.  Will this eyar be the year that asks questions or one that answers them?  Will this be the year that does both?

This quote explains that Janie is leaving in a year with many questions to answer to better her life. Such as does she need a man to be there for her, or can she do it independently? This upcoming year will have both though, because she must answer the questions that have been on her mind about different aspects of her life, but she also has to answer certain things that can benifit her in the longrun.
One thing she  has to answer is if she really does want to live her whole life Joe Starks, because she leaves Logan to go be with Joe Starks. But she also must ask her self many difficult questions such as if she should go back to Logan and follow her Nanny's advice. Janie is going to do what suits her the best because she understands its not what other people think about her decisions, its about what makes her happy and is better for her life.

Marriage doesn't always have love...

    Marriage is something that involves two people being in love with one another, but sometimes it is not like  that. Some women, or men may just want to marry a person for money or for other matterrs that help them have a better life. There are people who believe they are in love, but the partners that they choose to marry may have other intentions in mind. Such as  getting money from the people that they marry, or even trting to get shelter of some sort. Marriage is usually about love, and should be about being happy with one another.

    Although some marry for the wrong reasons, it can be worst. Because sometimes people may want to have a child with thier partner, just so when they divorce them they can get much of the money that the person they married makes. It is hard to tell how a person feels, but if someone has money, then they have to be cautious of people who are greedy, and some people will do anything for money, even if that means marrying somebody.
