'The Man Who Loved Flowers\r'

'Thomas Mahvirtuosoy 2-15-13 ENG 112 The homo Who Loved Flowers This reputation starts out in a very peaceful destitute setting, in New York City. There is a sense of make pick out in the air, and the shade of spring. There is a homophile walk along the streets in a old streets turning everyones attention because then enkindle tell he is happy and in drive in. This paper regainings place in may of 1963 right before the summer starts. Stephen nance is passing descriptive in the flooring with the mans appearance; â€Å"He had that look or so him.He was dressed in a brightness level grey cause, the narrow tie pulled reduce a little, his top collar tone closeing undone. His hair was low-spirited and cut short. His tint was fair, his eyes a light blue. not an extraordinary face, nevertheless on this sluttish spring so faring, on this avenue, in cleanthorn of 1963, he was scenic”( poove) The interesting subject about this level is how it seems so ele gant and peaceful, but draws a thin key with insanity.The first sense of something being legal injury in the story is when the man goes to defile flowers, and thither is a radio playacting a watchword program public lecture about a hammer implementation that was on the loose, but this is immediately laid-off because everything seems so perfect in the moment. As the man walks a focussing he hesitates and touches something in his pocket, which foreshadows what could happen later in the story. â€Å"The five-year-old man passed the flower-stand and the sound of the bad news faded. He hesitated, looked over his shoulder, and thought it over.He reached into his coating pocket and touched the something in there again. For a moment his face seemed puzzled, lonely, to the highest degree haunted, and then, as his hand left the pocket, it regained its causality expression of eager expectation. â€Å"(King) The imagery in this story is so beautiful and pot to earth for almost the whole story, until it becomes dark and depressing at the end. King goes from composition about flowers, the beautiful spring weather, love being in the air, kids loving vivification and playing, to a hammer, blood everywhere, dark all toldeys, creepy-crawly vibes, and a presence of death.When the story turns from afternoon to shadow is when the man goes to visit Norma, the love of his life. This is when the story turns dark. They grow close together, and the juxtaposed they get, he realizes that the muliebrity is not Norma, in fact, Norma had been dead for Ten years. He pass her the flowers though and she denied him and gave them back. She thanks him and begins to explains that she is not Norma, but he cuts her off mid designate and whispers â€Å"Norma”(King)as he pulls the hammer out of his pocket. This gives an extremely creepy humor to the story abruptly. She back a itinerary, her face a round white blur, her mouth an opening black 0 of terror, and she wasnt No rma, Norma was dead, she had been dead for ten years, and it didnt depend because she was outlet to scream and he swung the hammer to tour the scream, to kill the scream, and he swung the hammer the gloaming of flowers fell out of his hand, the spill spilled and bust open, spilling red, white, and yellow tea roses beside the dented toss out cans where the cats made alien love in the dark, screaming in love, screaming, screaming. (King) King brings up how hard it is to love to the proof reader during this damp of the story by being extremely descriptive and frightening. He shows how hard life is to move on once youre in love and then you lose the one love. This is one of the hardest things for people to deal with in life. The pertain of the character is revealed at the end of the story, King calls him â€Å"Love”. He presents the intellect that love makes you do insane things that you would never do if you werent in love, and it can take over youre personality and ch ange your life.At this purport in the story, King confuses the reader by making them realize how misleading the story was from the beginning. It gives a sense of the unkn decl are to the reader and leaves them headlanding how it went from being so affirmative to negative in a matter of seconds. There are some gloomy hints that he foreshadows in the beginning of the story but nothing too evident. â€Å"His own smile trembled a little, and he mat a moments disquiet. Her face over the bluejacket blouse suddenly seemed blurred. It was getting darker now. . . could he ask been mistaken?Surely not. It was Norma. â€Å"(King) It is a haywire and unexpected change of events when it goes from having the reader intend that it is a typical friendly man that is in love, and all the sudden the reader discovers he was the hammer murderer. Thats what makes this a ample story because it is so misleading at first. King is so creative in the way he makes you infer when you are reading th e story, he knows how to get at bottom the readers head and really make them hazard about the thin line mingled with fear and love, and how easily that line is broken. none of it seemed real, none of it seemed to matter. The air was soft and sweet. both men with beer bellies stood outside a bakery, lunge nickels and ribbing each other. Spring trembled on the edge of summer, and in the city, summer is the eon of dreams. â€Å"(King) It would take a genius to squall that the man in the beginning of the story ended up being a killer at the end, it is hard to even believe. it makes you think that anyone you see walking on the street could be a killer like that, and you would never know.The fact that King doesnt provide the main character with a name further proves the point that and trustful person could be a gelid hearted killer. This is another reason King is such a great writer, he is so clever with the way he tells his stories and all of the minor details he provides. He creates a character that seems to be a typical everyday male that is in love with a girl, but underneath that he is a murderer. This brings me back the my dissertation of how thin the line between love and insanity is.I love the way the mood suddenly switches and smoothly King makes the mutation into a dark frightening story. â€Å"His name was love, and he walked these dark streets because Norma was waiting for him. And he would find her. Some day soon. He began to smile. A bounce came into his step as he walked on down Seventy-third Street. A middle-aged married couple academic term on the steps of their building watched him go by, head cocked, eyes afar away, a half-smile on his lips. when he had passed by the woman said, ‘How come you never look that way any more?Huh? , ‘Nothing, she said, but she watched the preadolescent man in the grey suit disappear into the gloom of the encroaching night and thought that if there was anything more beautiful than springtime, it was young love. â€Å"(King) This is a great way to end the story because it presents the reader with a sense of hope, and brings back the sense of witness that started the story. King is a writer conflicting any other, he makes the reader think in ways that make them question there own life.\r\n'
