STEPHEN KING *REPOST LAST ONE WAS MESSED UP WITH THE WRONG TITLE TO THE WRONG POST

In the book  “Pet Sematary” by Stephen King so far is about a family (the Creeds) that move into a house right across the street from an older couple that tells them about a “Pet Sematary.”  I am starting to notice a trend in the book between animals that are loved, getting hit by trucks and going to the “sematary.”  But I believe there is more to the sematary than just that.

I think that this “Pet Sematary” is a meeting place for a lot of kids in the neighborhood.  My question remains why a pet sematary as a meeting place?  In the text it said “Timmy Dessler’s cocker spaniel and Missus Bradleigh’s parakeet.  Not that the parakeet got run over in the road, you understand.  It just went feet up one day.”  Since this is occurring why are all these animals just dying? 

Not only as a reader am I just questioning why all these animals are “going feet up one day,” when some of them weren’t hit by trucks like the others.  What was their cause of death?  I’m also thinking that the possible cause of death can lead to the Pet Sematary.”  There has been a mysterious vibe that was placed on the “Pet Sematary” by the author, but I can only question what the “Pet Sematary” really is and whether it ties to causing the death of animals and maybe even people.

The author never throws the idea that the “Pet Sematary” is the problem, but he mainstreams its significance by mentioning it several times throughout the book so far.  The “Pet Sematary” is a “cliff hanger” because you can only wonder what it is and the full purpose besides being a burial place for dead animals.

So far I have just started reading this book.  And like a well-written book should it is causing me to question what is the reason this “Pet Sematary” is so mysterious?  Will it cause harm to the new Creed family?  Yet these are all to be answered in my next blog post.

  1. Noah- at first I didn't really understand what you were trying to get across to the readers but because of your really good evidence, quotes and summaries from the book, I started to get what you meant! Nice work.

  2. This blog post was very well-written and filled with lots of textual evidence to support your claims. I also like how you inserted your own thoughts among recaps/summaries of the parts of the book. "Pet Cemetery" sounds like a really interesting book now that I've read your book. Maybe one day I can borrow it (and read it in math)?
