Age Of Enlightenment

   About the age of six or seven Stephen King decided to proofread and make sidenotes to various science fiction magazines that entranced him. Eventually he wrote his own short story at the same time, about four magic animals who helped little kids in distress. King showed his mother his work, about four pages long, in pencil. King successfully earned money for the story, customers being his family. The first buck he ever made from writing was because of this short tale.
     Stephen King wrote out of fascination, the amusement and proudness in his mother's face was therefore a plus. King ended up writing not only for himself, but for various people that cared for him as he cared for them. Later in his teen-age years, King wrote for his brother, his school newspaper, and a sports section of a local newspaper. Pow! Super! That is a lot of work, but that is also what King remembered writing.
   I, on the other hand, thought I wanted to pursue a career in writing at the age of about 10, not only was and still might be serious about it, I was not as serious because of doubts, (a huge problem with me, I doubt everything.) I do remember pursuing to write a story of my near death experience of being hit by a truck, and another story of my general life story. It took only a week for me to give up.

When In Doubt, Run Away.

Why does love not come with marriage? It's only logic for it to do so. Why did Nanny lie to me, was it to make sure I don't run as fast as the wind through the field away from this fixed life? Maybe if she would have taught me everything it means to bury my feelings and keep a key to my mouth in my pocket, I would have learned sooner that this means a life of solemn days, if no motive to keep mending this setting, I will run away, with who I do not know.

Their Eyes Are Watching The Upcoming Year

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

     The upcoming year will probably hold a lot for Janie, lots of new change and finding herself out. Also, who she will become, (Mrs. Mayor Starks) or if she will return to Logan Killicks. The year will definitely be the year that asks multiple questions about herself and the future of Eatonville.
     I believe that she will find unhappiness wherever she goes, if  a man is in that era of time. He is either preoccupied, or wants something more from her. What Janie wants is clearly love, but does she need it to be happy? I think she will not stop untill she finds it.
    Questions might be answered as well, for when one has questions, there will be answers. Therefore, the year will be doing both, for her and everyone involved in her life.

I Love The Girls Who Don't Like Me - Not.

When one talks about you, you can often feel the dislike lingering in the air, and if it's not you doing the disliking, then it's your "friend." Feeling the tension between each other is certainly not appreciated, how can one just accept their dislike and love them anyways? I guess some people can do so. Saints really, angels or just people who don't give a rat's booty. I always question the daily group of girls who have such hate towards each other, constant drama, like if their world would be so much easier and pain-free if those people did not exist. Of course, some days they'd be caught in jolly rejoicing with each other, as if they were family. I really do not understand why people must be so intricate... and complicated. For me, it's either drop it or rock it. I wouldn't put myself through such agony for such a small amount of exuberantness together. But I guess it's completely possible.
            People talk, and most of the time for pure jealousy. Sometimes it can be changed, when judging is overlooked and getting to know others is undertaken. Overcoming mutual hate is just one of the obstacles people have to jump over.

Questions On The Great Gatsby

Why did Nick want to know more about Gatsby, when before talking of Gatsby's "life" was not that interesting to him?

Why doesn't Tom divorce Daisy, when he's having an affair with Myrtle Wilson, could it be because of his daughter? Money? Or love?

If Gatsby has been with so many women in his life, why does he still want to see Daisy? Is he in love with her? Or does he just want closure?

If Nick is not in love with Jordan, but still sending "Love, Nick" letters, why doesn't he stop seeing his other maiden in his hometown?

Doctor, Doctor.

"But above the great land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment ,the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic- their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose. Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there to fatten his practice in the borough of Queens and they sank down himself into eternal blindness or forgot them and moved away. But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground." (Page 28) -The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
