Post #2

“...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”- Stephen King

I find this passage form Stephen King very interesting. I like how he writes and expresses himself about those who no longer exist in the world today that are now known as ghosts. When reading this passage I stopped and thought about that, and I have to say I agree with him. Ghosts are around us and they know when they will come and greet us. Even when we think we're alone we find our self's to be accompanied by someone.

AA-PROPOSAL

For my American Author Project, I am going to write about Stephen King. He's very well known for his Horror novels. Some very well known novels are, Carrie, The Myst, and Halloween. I chose to write about Him because I enjoy reading his novels especially because I LOVE scary books; they seem to catch my attention. Another reason I chose him because I thought it would be intersting to write a paper on a man who has been giving honors for his good work and it's also someone who all seem to know. King, has also an intersting background that I would enjoy getting into more detail and combing it with my paper. This author does meet the expections of this American Author Project.
