  • Artist: Stephen King
  • Release Year: 1982

The passages of this story that inspired me were the ones that said that words sometimes "diminish" the thing they are talking about. King dealt with this problem admirably in this story. I run into that problem all the time when I am writing, be it an email, a personal note, or essay. It's a good thing we have other ways of expressing what needs to be said with other art forms including music and visual art. That's my two cents, and I'll close for now, so I don't do any more "diminishing."

    The Body is the Stephen King novella that was adapted as the movie Stand by Me. I never read the story and never saw the movie. If you did see the movie, theoristima, what was your opinion of it?

    "The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them–words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were In your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out."

    "The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them. It’s hard to make strangers care about the good things in your life."

    Response from the author:

    Hi, macphysto. I first saw the movie about 12 years ago. It was worth seeing, although I liked the book better, of course, because of its greater detail.
