Synopsis Of The Story 1408 By Mike Enslin
As a class we watched and read the story 1408, this story is about an author named Mike Enslin. Mike, an author of a popular book series where he stays in haunted places and writes about his accounts in those places. Upon asking to stay in the room, the hotel manager asks to speak with him in his office privately. The manager then proceeds to beg Mike to change his mind about staying in the hotel room. After a failed attempt to nicely ask Mike not to stay in that room the hotel manager is forced to tell the dark secrets that live within the room. Unfortunately, nothing can sway Mike’s mind from staying in the room. This would come to be the biggest mistake of Mike Enslin life.
One large difference between the movie and the book is the paintings

    The sun was right on the horizon line and Lucifer was outside looking right at it as he waited. It was a chill, breezy day and would only get colder and the night came. The clouds appeared to have a salmon or orange tint to them with how the sun was sitting and Lucifer had to admit, it looked rather nice outside. He would be taking his advantage of looking outside and enjoying this before he would get thrown in the cage again by whoever desired to reach him first and attempt to get him in there now. The Winchester did throw him in there before, but he managed to escape with the help of a few people. As far as he knew, the Winchesters had no idea that he was back out and the only one who did, was his soulmate; Alexandria. That was who he was…

    I have made a mistake which I cannot undo, in the moment it seemed to be an essential task. I killed Tybalt, if I wouldn't have would I really be a man? I recall Tybalt showering me with insults, in an attempt to try finishing what he had started back at the party, but at that point in the day I wasn't about to get into a scuffle with him and disturb the peace in this city. Even then, I understood that Tybalt fought with many citizens in Verona and I was well aware that I needed to hold back my retort, Tybalt was always a thorn in my side. I continue to have flashbacks of my friend, Mercutio, bleeding on the ground. I recall every sensation I had while I was smoldering in anger. When I remember that part of the incident, I don’t regret seeing Tybalt laying on the ground with blood flowing out of him… But from my actions I had broken the peace in Verona, everything…

    Death is not at all what I thought it would be. I had personally anticipated living to a ripe old age and passing away silently in the night, not bleeding out on some jagged outcrop half a world away from home. But then again, I hadn’t expected any of this to happen. No, when I was back at my cottage, sitting around the hearth, all I fretted over was the lack of decent books on the shelf or the incompetence of my neighbors.…

    Life is a history of master narratives, controlling the views of many individuals. The definition of master narrative can seem quite vague, but the values and limitations it holds give it purpose in the world. Whether or not the purpose of a master narrative is acknowledged varies between each person. Master narratives are not always right or wrong— true or false, good or bad— they are a way to marginalize society into thinking a certain way. Master Narratives always have and always will shape the beliefs and knowledge of the world by defining and defying society’s thoughts, emotions, and actions through the stereotypical views of our world.…
