2nd Assignment

It is hard to tell who the main character is yet because of the way the characters are introduced in these first hundred pages of IT. My best guess would have to be William Denbrough or Eddie Kaspbrak. They seem more important in this because the have both been traumatized. William AKA stuttering Bill's brother actually dissapeared after he saw the clown of death. Eddie though is different, he has seen death. Both characters are very complex and full of detail.

It is extremely hard to compare myself to the characters at the at the moment, it is too early in the book and the characters have not shown any qualities yet. The only character that has been introduced with something has been Stanley. He is a major buisness person in this small town, so he's rich. The only thing i can compare myself to is the innocence this character has, with all the money he had he never got into anything like drugs and such. I compare myself to that because if i were rich and a buisness man i wouldn't let myself ruin my job with drugs or any outside conflict.

It is hard to explain what is going down in this town of Derry because so many characters are involved at this point. If i followed one main character it would only skim what is really going down. Each character is being set up for a role in this book I could immediately tell. There are hints in Kings work that i interperate as foreshadowing. Already in the first 100 pgs of this book a character has dissapeared; Bill's brother. There is too much going down from other characters to give a general account of just ones. Don Hagarty is in jail being interogatted. A phone call has been over heard and all of it is leading up to the event that happens in Fall 1957.
