I Finished Chromosome 6
So I finished Chromosome 6 over break and I started a new book by Stephen King. It's called 'Salems Lot. I haven't gotten that far into it yet, but I think that it's going to be a good one. I think the main thing that the story is talking about is that even though lots of things change, some things last forever like 'salems lot is this place in Maine that this writer grew up in and it's really scary and someone hung himself in the big house in the neighborhood and that kind of mood still hangs over the house a long time later when he goes back and some things have changed, but basically it's the same town that he grew up in. Ben Mears (the writer in the story) goes back to get ideas for a book that he's trying to write. He hasn't ever written anything scary before so he tries to rent the old big house but someone bought it and I think that might tie in to something later in the book because no one wants to live there and everyone knows what happened and no one ever goes near it and Ben had a personal occurrence with the house. To get into this group when he was eleven, their initiation was for him to go and get something from the house and he went in and up the stairs and saw the guy hanging there and then he moved. This is long after the funeral so either Ben was hallucinating or there is something seriously messed up in the house and I think that the cover provides some foreshadowing because it has a house with fire coming out of all the windows. You can kind of see that in the below picture but I don't know it might just show up as orange dots on the thing.
