It By Stephen King Final Blog

Today i will talk about the major difference between the book and the movie. When i first started reading the book i was given a lot of background about the relationship between bill and George. We can see that in the book they have a good bond. The book also gives the fears that George has. While the movie does show the relationship between bill and George it doesn't show a lot about George. George is seen as a minor character in the movie which i think is kind of dumb because he was a big part of the whole story. I feel like the movie should have given George more screen time and more background. Another thing i felt was kind of odd was that the movie didn't add an important character, the person who found George. also one thing the movie took out of the book and never added but instead replace it was the fact that Darry had become kind of gay friendly and also it never showed the death of Adrian who was beaten by three guys and then thrown off the bridge, and this was the first time Pennywise reappeared after the children attacked him in the sewage. The movie replaces the Adrian scene with a Pennywise killing a little girl and leaving a picture of George. I felt that the movie should have added the Adrian part of the book because it would make the story more sense. Sad that the movie took out many important part of the story . The movie also didn't add the background of patty, which I’m glad it didn't because adding that part to the movie would be useless since patty never saw or even had a experience with Pennywise. but most of the movie does have part of the book which makes the movie decent enough. i hope that the 2017 reboot have more adaption of the book and a little more background about each main character . Also explain how Pennywise arrive to Darry and when his rampage carnage started.  This is my final blog for IT by Stephen King .

It By Stephen King Chapter 3

“Hot they had been; starved they had not. They were married on August 19th, 1972. Patty Uris had gone to her marriage bed a virgin. She had slipped naked between cool sheets at a resort hotel in the Poconos, her mood turbulent and stormy—lightning-flares of wanting and delicious lust, dark clouds of fright. When Stanley slid into bed beside her, ropy with muscle, his penis an exclamation point rising from gingery pubic hair, she had whispered: “Don’t hurt me, dear.” “I will never hurt you,” he said as he took her in his arms, and it was a promise he had kept faithfully until May 28th, 1985—the night of the bath. “You can see that Stephen King has used imagery once again to strength his story . He adds imagery kind of like fifty shades of grey has added in their book. Even though this is not a very sexual scene. The reader can see how patty and Stanley were in there first honeymoon day. That why King is a good imagery writer. Now since i have seen the movie. this part of the book is not added in the movie but instead it explain about Stanley first meeting IT and how Stanley almost got killed by IT when the kid decide to attack him in the sewage. The movie does show when Stanley committed suicide and patty walked in and see him dead. But this background of patty was taken off from the movie. i think it was taken off because of budget and even because it doesn't match with the story . i myself don't mind this background of patty but i would had prefer the book would talk more about Stanley than patty since she didn't have a encounter with IT. the book also explain other topic on how each character do seem to forget each other and when they do remember about their childhood they remember about IT. Which is why Stanley killed himself because he would rather die with his own hand than by IT.

It by Stephen King Chapter 2 part 2

“John Webber Garton was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and sentenced to ten to twenty years in Thomaston State Prison.Steven Bishoff Dubay was convicted of first-degree manslaughter and sentenced to fifteen years in Shawshank State Prison.Christopher Philip Unwin was tried separately as a juvenile and convicted of second-degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to six months at the South Windham Boys’ Training Facility, sentence suspended.At the time of this writing, all three sentences are under appeal; Garton and Dubay may be seen on any given day girl-watching or playing Penny Pitch in Bassey Park, not far from where Mellon’s torn body was found floating against one of the pilings of the Main Street Bridge.Don Hagarty and Chris Unwin have left town.”“At the major trial—that of Garton and Dubay—no one mentioned a clown.” Now I’m not going to really analysis this blog but more comment on what I love about this ending to chapter 2. I have recently watch the movie on 9/4/2016 and I got to say it was a good movie and something that I see that is similar to the movie is that in the movie the people of Derry always try to forget or not get involve in these tragedies that happen in town. I love how the book brings this out and how the movie got this simple and little detailed and added to their movie. The way the prosecutor didn’t even mention a clown is to show how people don’t want to care about this tragedies’. also the book mention how the prosecutor didn’t want to mention the clown because it would had mess up the prosecution , which remind me in the movie harry going to jail because he was blamed for the death of his  friend and he would mention a clown but nobody believed him . This is cool that this part of the book kind of relates to the movie. i love the book because it sort of relate to the real life world where prosecutor would say some truth because they want to see like they are good prosecutor not caring who they put in jail . just like in this part of the book. i'm also very excited for the reboot movie which might have more scene from the book and maybe even this one and more that were cut out of the movie. i would like to see this scene because it does explain a lot for why the kid came back to finish there promises.

It By Stephen King Chapter 2

In my Second blog about It by Stephen King i will discuss about king use of imagery. King has a good habit of using imagery in this book. This is another example of imagery. “If I do, will you leave us alone?” Adrian was wheezing with fright, almost crying, looking from Unwin to Dubay to Garton with terrified eyes.“Just give me the fucker!”Adrian handed it over. Garton produced a switch knife from the left front pocket of his jeans and cut it into two pieces. He rubbed the pieces against the seat of his jeans. Then he dropped them to his feet and stomped them.Don Hagarty backed away a little while their attention was divided between Adrian and the hat—he was looking, he said, for a cop.“Now will you let us al—” Adrian Mellon began, and that was when Garton punched him in the face, driving him back against the waist-high pedestrian railing of the bridge. Adrian screamed, clapping his hands to his mouth. Blood poured through his fingers.”

In this part of the story i'm give you a little bit of background about who Adrian and Don Hagarty . Both of these character are homosexual character who date each. the other character are a bunch of boys who are homophobic. i can see that the author use imagery because he add sentence like " Adrian was wheezing with fright, almost crying, looking from Unwin to Dubay to Garton with terrified eyes." which can make the reader see a visual of Adrian face crying and terrified that these boys might beat him up . not only that but that whole part use imagery cause the reader can see how this is unfolding. i like that the author uses imagery in his story because it add strength to the visual of the books. i like this scene because we can see that author era was the era of homophobic and that at the time any person who was homosexual would get beat up . so this addition of reality to the story makes the reader of this era become more surprise. King has a very amazing way of writing because of his style not only does he use imagery but he add negative connotation word to show the reader how bad this situation is getting . he add negative connotation like " Fucker,cut,punch,knife,stomped,cop,leave, and screamed" word like this makes the reader know that the situation that Adrian is in a negative situation
the book get very interesting every time i read and it get scary and weirder every time.
