Don't Read (unless Rainier or Schuller) # 10

It snowed every day now, sometimes only brief flurries the glittering snow crust, sometimes for real, the low whistle of the wind cracking up to a womanish shriek that made the old hotel rock and groan alarmingly even in its deep cradle of snow
Yah, something not about foreshadowing. This is an example of the great use of descriptive language that King utilizes. The sound of the wind seemed to appear as I read.(also being very descriptive with sound, to me, seems to be hardest, and he did it extremely well)

"Was he a high school?"
-"As a matter of fact, he wasn't"...
"That was your mistake."
This incident was when Jack was talking about Mr.Grady, the guy that killed everyone. But I dint understand why being educated determines if you would kill your family. There have been plenty of educated people that have killed. They weren't all cavemen eating dirt. I feel like he is going to eat his words.(foreshadow)

His dad LOST HIS MARBLED... Mr. Stenger had tried to kill everbody in his family
Eveyones going CRAZY; Grady, Stenger, and maybe Torrance. Again I see the foreshadowing in King's writing.( I dong know why I'm so drawn to foreshadowing and there's slot of it in the book). Like I said before, lots and lots of foreshadowing.

I see a bad moon a-rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today 

Lots and lots of foreshadowing in this book. Stephen King, all throughout this book, uses forshadowing to give the story an hint of suspense. Ad the reader, I know that somrhomg bad is going to happen. I'm just left fliping page and page to find out what will happen.

He had been to Room 217 by a morbid kind of curiosity.
Morbid curiosity is the best type of curiosity. But I'm not zoo sure whats morbid about staring at a room. Maybe it's the warning from Hallorann, that gave it an ominous feel. On the outside this room wouldn't be important, but there is something foreboding about the room, that I feel will come into play in the later.

Well, when she was watching him, she was thinking she would sure to get into his pants and I just wondered why-
This shows Danny's character, very young. He has the curiosity of any other five year old, if not more. But, with the shining , Danny places himself in mature situations that he is to young for. Also it made me ROFL!

We'll stay. And everything will be fine. Just fine.
This will be the nail in there coffin. Once Wendy uttered these words, it was made certain to me that something bad will happen to the. Also, at least in my head, it was said in a foreboding tone. Things are not fine.

Somewhere not far in the distant was a steady mechanical roaring sound, but muted, not frightening. Soporific. It was the thing that would be forgotten
First off, Soporific, I right thought of Wit. So that helped me understand what Danny was feeling. It reminded me of when I fall in to my many trances. The sound the captivates and hold my attenion and swirls in my mind until the sudden awakeing that always seem to happen. Then yur left thinking "what just happened", because all is easiliy forgotten.

The ironic part was that he warned himself each time he climbed onto the roof to keep an eye out for nests; he had gotten the bug bomb just in case. But this morning the stillness and peace had been so complete that his watchfulness had lapsed.
I feel like the forshadows the rest of the book. The seens of peace is masking the looming danger that is face by the family. Jack and Wendy are drowing in the calmness, unaware of the darkness and uneasyness felt by Danny.

-but instead of letting sunlight, that sound let in the clouds of shame and remorse, the sound of terror, the agonizing convulsion of the spirit.
When Jack hurt Danny, it caused the adverse reaction, but it caused the same results. The errors of his ways should have shone and he would change. But he went into a depression like state, the a result of failing marrige, achohl abuse, and now the pian he caused to his son. This dark state is what cause the change, not really his willingness to change.
