On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
Task 1: C.V.
“Dave,” I said. “Take me home! I have to push!” (This was the word we were given for this particular function.)
David didn’t want to hear it. “Go do it in the woods,” he said. It would take at least half an hour to walk me home, and he had no intention of giving up such a shining stretch of time just because his little brother had to take a dump.
“I can’t!” I said, shocked by the idea. “I won’t be able to wipe!” “Sure you will,” Dave said. “Wipe yourself with some leaves. That’s how the cowboys and Indians did it.” (King, 30)

He writes his memoir with great honesty and passion. He gets straight to the point and helps the reader truly understand the truth behind the writing. I think he is a selfless writer and writes the perfect words each time for his readers to be interested in what his books talk about.

In this quote, Stephen King shows how he writes with detail to keep the reader intrigued in what they're reading. He does this in order to be a successful and selfless writer as well as a best selling author. Most people in this world are different in who they are from their profession to their everyday self. We have discussed Stephen King as a writer now we will discuss him as a person. As a person, I believe he is very honest and hardworking. After recovering from alcoholic problems, King guided himself to become a world known writer and learn from his addiction. King writes, “By 1985 I had added drug addiction to my alcohol problem, yet I continued to function… Silence isn’t what that part is about. It began to scream for help in the only way it knew how, through my fiction and through my monsters.” (King, 96). This was King’s escape route from the pressure and dependency in his life was writing. It encouraged him to put words down on paper, which helped him to continue to be in the right mind. King mentions to read as many books as possible, he has done this, which makes him very intelligent also from his wife, and struggling with pain in his
