I'm starting to read The Body by Stephen King and so far I have been so ecstatic because I absolutely idolize Stephen King's books. I'm actually going to start reading Finders Keepers by Stephen King over the Christmas break and hope to be done before school starts up again. The book was tremendous and I have to say I felt the character I connected most with was Gordie and Teddy. Gordie and Teddy were two young boys who were extremely nerdy and adventurous. In the beginning of the movie Gordie doesn't have the self confidence to believe in himself although his incredible talent to create great stories is hidden. Throughout the movie Gordie learns that he needs to move on with his life especially after the death of his brother. This inspires him to pursue his career in journalism and to have more confidence in himself. Gordie inspired me that to pursue my dream as a speech pathologist because anything is possible if you believe in yourself. Teddy unfortunately ended up getting himself into numerous incidents and was not wise in his career path.
Most importantly, these characters: Gordie,Chris,Vern, and Teddy demonstrated friendship many times throughout there journey that kept them so close together. The boys developed a very strong and trusting relationship with each other even when some of them wanted to give up. Knowing that they had each other's backs no matter what, they began to open up to one another more about their personal lives. All of the boys come from a different background and each have a different personality but through there journey they realize that friendship is the key to success. At the end of the book after Chris has been stabbed in the throat, Gordie says "I never had any friends like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus does anyone?" Friendships can help us learn from our mistakes and help us to grow stronger each day.
