__ The Shining __ By Stephen King

// **November 18, 2011** //



The Shining is about a man named Jack who got fired from his old job. Now, he got a job at the Overlook Hotel. The Overlook Hotel is an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences Jack into violence, while his psychic son, Danny, sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future. It is a place where their past horrors come to life, and where those gifted with //The Shining// do battle with the darkest evils.

In the pages that I read in the last week, the book doesn't seem very interesting. The only thing that has happened so far is the people who work at the hotel talking about how they think there is ghosts in the hotel. I want to know if there are really ghosts in the hotel. Another thing I want to know what happened to Jack that made him so violent.

**//December 8, 2011//** In the pages that I read throughout this week, I learned that Jack and his friend Al might have accidentally killed somebody while they were driving drunk. I noticed that the story is kind of difficult to understand because it jumps from one scene to another very fast. I want to know if Jack and Al really killed somebody. If they didn't, i want to know why the bike was sitting in the middle of the road.

In the pages that I read throughout this week, i noticed that there is a lot of flashbacks. The characters are always thinking about what happened earlier in the story. It is kind of hard to understand what is going on throughout the book. It is kind of confusing. I want to know why Jack broke Dannys arm. I also want to know if Jack is going to lose his job because of that.

//** January 6, 2012 **// I didn't read that much this week. In the pages that i read, nothing really important happened. The only thing that is happening is Jack and his wife are getting along and not fighting with each other. I want to know why Jack and his family are staying at the hotel throughout the winter. I also want to know how Danny knew what him mom was thinking when she was thinking about the man in the grey suit.
