I read the book 11/22/63 by Stephen King. The book started out about a English teacher named Jake Epping. Jake Epping had a wife who was an alcoholic. She soon divorced him for someone in her AA class. When jake Epping was correcting one of his student’s papers he read it and it made him cry. Jake Epping would almost never cry in his life. He didn’t cry when his wife left him and he didn’t even feel that sad, but when he read that paper he cried. The paper was about Harry Dunning’s family (the guy who wrote the paper). On one halloween night as Harry and his brother and sister were going to go out trick or treating their Dad came in drunk and in a rage with a hammer and killed Harry’s whole family. Harry tried crawling under …show more content…
After Jake Epping read the paper he went out to go eat with Harry after giving him an A on the paper. They ate at Al’s diner that night and Al took a picture of them and hung it on the wall to congratulate him. After that night Jake Epping heard a knock on his door and it was Al telling him he had to come to his diner and help him with something. Al looked like he had aged by five years. When Jake got to the diner he talked with Al and said to him he had to see something in the pantry that he couldn’t explain. Jake went to the back pantry and Al told him to watch his step. Jake saw no steps but continued on cautiously. He walked into one of the corners and felt his foot move down onto a step. When he looked down his foot was still sitting on the step but he could feel his foot about a foot down. When he blinked he could see an afterimage of his foot on a step instead of the floor. Al told him to close his eyes since that made it easier to enter. Jake closed his eyes and felt a warm summer breeze on his face and also smelled something really bad. He opened his eyes and he was in an alleyway where this man came out and said, “I got a yellow card from the greenfront, so gimme a buck because today’s double-money …show more content…
They technically were married but she moved away from him while the divorce papers were being processed. When everything is all fine and dandy and nothing can go wrong, the past attacks. Clayton arrives at Sadie’s and threatens to kill her with a knife. The past tends to repeat itself. The incident was a lot like Jake’s encounter with Frank Dunning but in the end Sadie gets a scar across her face very deep. In the book history tended to repeat itself. Derry was this awful little town where Harry lived and where the Frank Dunning situation took place. Dallas was almost identical to Derry and he met many people that looked and acted like the people in Derry with identical jobs. After Jake saved the president there were earthquakes in california killing over four-thousand people. When he arrived at the rabbit hole there was a new yellow card man but his card was green. He went up to Jake Epping. This part was my favorite part of the book because it brings up a lot of questions about time travel. The card man told him that each time he travelled into the rabbit hole it made another string of time and events, he said reality was like a melody it made a clear sound but when
