ASSIGNMENT: Choose one of the following topics:
Topic #1: In Salem’s Lot, what events in the story stand out for you as memorable? Is there
foreshadowing and suspense, or doe the author give things away in the first part of the book? Is this
effective?
Topic #2: Is Stephen King a descriptive writer? Is he better at describing the concrete or the
abstract? Give at least two examples from the novel to back up your argument. (Please do not define
2
the terms “concrete” and “abstract.”) Were you confused by some of what you read? How did this
affect your reading of the book?
