By Stephen king
To begin the story Stephen King chose a very good starting sentence through which he tells the reader that we are all mentally ill, the only difference is that some of us are better at hiding it, or are we? He carries on by telling the reader about scary movies and how we feel better about watching others get tortured or killed. He compares scary movies to a roller coaster with double twists and 360 degree loops. Through this he introduces an age groups people over 40 who no longer get a jolly out of riding roller coaster and chose instead the ride of their life scary movies. He says, “Our emotions and our fears form their own body and we recognize that it demands its own exercise to maintain proper muscle tone.” He says it is all in order to maintain the status quo of civilization. Mr. King also uses a metaphor through which he explains that the bad side of people, the one that does or thinks the nasty things, is a gator and it has to be kept fed and best way to throw a raw piece of meat is by watching a horror movie. I believe this may be true, but I as an individual do not like watching horror movies and I am doing fine without them, it is something I like to keep out of my life.
