Research Scholar ISSN 2320 – 6101 www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations Impact Factor 0.793 (IIFS) DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN STEPHEN KING’S ROSE MADDER Nitasha Baloria Ph.D. Research Scholar Department of English University of Jammu Jammu- 180001 (J&K) Abstract I read it somewhere, “You’ve given him the benefit of the doubt long enough. Now it’s time to give yourself the benefit of the truth.” Marriages have not been a cup of tea for everyone. You are lucky enough if your marriage is a loving one but not everyone is as lucky. Sometimes the wrong marriages or our wrong partners force us to think that it wasn’t a cakewalk, especially when the matter is of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. As painful as it is to admit that we are being abused, it is even more painful to come to the conclusion that the person we love is someone we cannot afford to be around. This research paper will focus on the theme of Domestic Violence in the novel of Stephen King’s ROSE MADDER. It focuses on the main protagonist Rosie’s life. How She escapes from her eccentric husband and then makes a path to overcome her fear for her husband, leaves him and finally live a happy Life marrying the right person. Keywords:- Domestic Violence, eccentric, wrong Marrieage. “All marriages are sacred, but not all are safe.” - Rob Jackson This paper entitled, “ Domestic Violence in Stephen King’s Rose Madder” aims to explore the life of a young woman named Rosie who is married and is being tortured by her husband by consistent beating. -
Lisey's Story
LISEY’S STORY ABOUT THE BOOK IN BRIEF: Lisey Landon is the woman behind bestselling novelist Scott Landon - not that the world knows it. For twenty- five years she has been the light to his dark, and as his wife, she was the only one who saw the truth behind the public face of the famous author - that he was a haunted man whose bestselling novels were based on a terrifying reality. Now Scott is dead, Lisey wants to concentrate on the memories of the man she loved. But the fans and academics have a different idea, determined to pull his dark secrets into the light. IN DETAIL: King has written about writers several times before, but this is the first time he has switched focus to the writer’s wife. This allows him to explore career-long interests in a fascinating new way. As with Jack Torrance in The Shining, it’s not entirely clear whether writing is a ‘healthy’ process for Scott Landon, but it’s undoubtedly a necessary one, allowing him to deal with his disturbing life and unusual way of looking at the world. Scott Landon is a successful author (he’s won the Pulitzer and the National Book Award), and as in Misery he has problems with obsessive fans. This causes trouble in his life (when a fan shoots him), and after his death, as an academic is so desperate to get his hands on Landon’s unpublished work that he takes to threatening Lisey. But Lisey can take of herself. The novel goes on to explores Lisey’s life after Scott’s death, but it is also details the twenty-five years of their relationship, and the family secrets that have bonded the couple together. -

Work/Construction Zones
Work/Construction Zones Page 1 of 2 A work zone is an area where roadwork takes place and may involve lane closures, detours and moving equipment. Highway work zones are set up according to the type of road and the work to be done on the road. The work zone can be long or short term and can exist at anytime of the year, but most commonly in the summer. Work zones on U.S. highways have become increasingly dangerous places for both workers and drivers. There are a large number of work zones in place across America, therefore, highway agencies are working on not only improving communication used in work zones, but to change the behavior of drivers so crashes can be prevented. According to the National Safety Council, over 100 road construction workers are killed in construction zones each year. Nearly half of these workers are killed as a result of being struck by motor vehicles. The number of construction zone injuries and fatalities are predicted to climb even higher. Increased funding for road construction during recent years has led to a significant increase in the number of highway construction projects around the country. Increased speed limits, impatient drivers, and widespread traffic congestion have led to an overall increase in work zone injuries and fatalities. The top 10 states with motorist fatalities in work zones in 2008 are as follows: 1. Texas—134 6. Pennsylvania—23 2. Florida—81 7. Louisiana—22 3. California—70 8. North Carolina—21 4. Georgia—36 9. Arkansas—19 5. Illinois—31 Source: FARS 10. -

Masters Thesis
Abstract The objective of this master’s thesis is to analyse the variations of Stephen King’s The Mist to uncover a method for evaluating an adaptation based on its reception and applying the conclusions of such an evaluation to reflect on other adaptations’ success. The study met this objective through an analysis of the constitutional changes to the narrative’s storytelling elements in the adaptation process. These changes were in turn compared to the other variations of The Mist to locate the abeyant elements, that affected the reception of the individual works. Consequently, the analysis found that The Mist novella and the film adaptation of The Mist were successful, while the television series was unsuccessful. In attempting to analyse The Mist, it was relevant to draw on adaptation studies. A discourse on fidelity has dominated the field of adaptation studies for a long time, in which the original work is superior to the adaptations. This study attempts to challenge the notion of fidelity, which is an approach that other influential theorists within the field of adaptation studies share. Linda Hutcheon has provided the theoretical framework of the analysis in her striking book, “A Theory of Adaptation”. The analysis found that changes to a narrative’s elements can have an impact on an adaptations’ reception, both in positive and negative ways. Furthermore, these changes were found to be generalisable to other adaptations, to locate which potential changes to storytelling elements have affected the reception of those adaptations. In the discussion, the findings of the analysis were used to discuss the reception of other examples of adaptations based on their inherent changes to the narrative, and how those changes coincided with the changes to the different variations of The Mist. -

Stephen King * the Mist
Stephen King * The Mist I. The Coming of the Storm. This is what happened. On the night that the worst heat wave in northern New England history finally broke-the night of July 19-the entire western Maine region was lashed with the most vicious thunderstorms I have ever seen. We lived on Long Lake, and we saw the first of the storms beating its way across the water toward us just before dark. For an hour before, the air had been utterly still. The American flag that my father put up on our boathouse in 1936 lay limp against its pole. Not even its hem fluttered. The heat was like a solid thing, and it seemed as deep as sullen quarry-water. That afternoon the three of us had gone swimming, but the water was no relief unless you went out deep. Neither Steffy nor I wanted to go deep because Billy couldn't. Billy is five. We ate a cold supper at five-thirty, picking listlessly at ham sandwiches and potato salad out on the deck that faces the lake. Nobody seemed to want anything but Pepsi, which was in a steel bucket of ice cubes. After supper Billy went out back to play on his monkey bars for a while. Steff and I sat without talking much, smoking and looking across the sullen flat mirror of the lake to Harrison on the far side. A few powerboats droned back and forth. The evergreens over there looked dusty and beaten. In the west, great purple thunderheads were slowly building up, massing like an army. -
