suffer the little children
Suffer the Little Children, by Stephen King, is an interesting story that lives up tothe expectations of all his other legendary works. His plot is twisted and contains manyironic happenings. The characters are divided into good and evil, but one is confused ifthe evil is real or imaginary. The setting sounds as if it is based on an actual place. Thestory, as a whole, keeps the reader anticipated and on the edge of his seat. The setting is placed at an elementary school, where the kids attend class fromeight to three, in a single room, with the same teacher all day. The teacher, Miss Sidley,is a small women that has been teaching a long time. She wears a brace due to the painsin her back, and thick glasses to view all of her pupils. Even though Miss Sidley is reallypetite and frail looking, she has her students scared of her, and they do not dare to try andpull anything over on her. The kids know not to chew gum, whisper, pass notes, or read,because even though Miss Sidley has her back turned, she catches them everytime. Theyfeel as if she is God, because she knows everything at once. The story begins in a regular classroom, with Miss Sidley writing spelling words
" This story is based upon a realistic setting and unrealistic characters if thehappenings are true. Miss Sidley did not return for about a month, saying she did not feel herselflately. After this occurrence, the story declines, until the very end. One afternoon she brought a handgun toschool and told the class they were to have a test, one by one, in the mimeograph room. The reader now knows that somebody tookcontrol of Robert's body; but what is it? Robert, what seems like finally to the reader, changes his face into an evil demonand starts to chuckle loudly. As she walked away, Buddy noticed the children do strange things and beganto wonder himself. Shake them until their teeth rattled and their giggles turned to wails,she would thump their heads against the tile walls and she would make them admit thatthey knew. No! No, no, no!" MissSidley is now even doubting herself. The plot isintertwined with abnormal circumstances, which keeps the reader on the edge of theirseat. " Some examples of Stephen King using onomatopoeia are when describing howthe electric clock buzzed and when describing the little girl crying"waah.
