The C.V. according to me

Here’s my first entry on this blog I created for my Junior AP English class. I was told to give my opinion positive or negative opinion of the first section, the C.V., of the book “On Writing” by Stephen King. The first section is a collection of stories from King’s childhood and adulthood. The stories are entertaining, hilarious, horrifying or a combination of the three. Though King uses some (and by some I mean lots of) coarse language in telling his stories, I found them interesting. I’m a reader, and I relished "On Writing" greatly. It is attention-grabbing and never ordinary, never ever. King wrote it in a humble way using lower level vocabulary and made it more easily comprehensible. Since it is such an easy read I sped through it and enjoyed it even more. I loved that he writes in detail about his earliest experiences as a writer. His meek beginnings make the idea of writing as a profession seem more accessible and achievable for those of us who aspire to become writers. Some of his stories make him seem more real and make me want to read more of his books, some of his stories disgust me and make never want to pick up another book by him, and still others interest me enough to let me know I’ll be reading more Stephen King to adequately determine my view of him as a writer. As for now, I’m looking forward to learning more about how to write with authority from the second part of the book, the Toolbox.
