IRB

My book is "Full Dark, No Stars" by Stephen King. The first story is about a guy that has his 14 year old son help him kill his wife. The father's influence on the teen causes him to rob and murder others. The quote I choose is "Something whistled inches past my ear and then the edge of Henry's shovel split the rat's head in two as it looked up into the dazzle." I found this quote interesting because it made me question if Henry would follow in his father's footsteps. I wanted to keep reading to find out if his father forcing him to help murder his mother would make him a murderer. I later found out that my prediction was true. Henry went on to being a murderer, only to commit suicide.

  1. Sounds pretty gruesome! But then again it is Stephen King! Where do you think he gets his ideas from? The news? This description you wrote reminds me of the tv show Dexter. Have you ever seen it. As a child, Dexter witnessed some pretty bad stuff and is now a killer. He gets away with it because he only kills bad guys.
