The Green Mile.

I recentley read the book "The Green Mile", a novel written by a spectacular author; Stephen King. For all you guys who have no clue what this is. It's a story that tests the power between humanity and what labels that society has placed on eacother. In the beginning two young girls are brutally raped and beaten. A large black man named John Coffey is found with the two dead girls in his hands. Their hair streaked with blood, accusations are made. The law wasent as developed as it is now, so John was instantley put into jail. Disregarding the fact that somebody else could of done it, he is treated unfairley. During his period on death row, relations between the guards and Coffey grow stronger, to the point where you could call it a friendship. Susupision grows on the accusations and the guards soon come to realization that they have the wrong man. Coffey shows a power that is unspeakable. He has the ability to heal others. He uses this several times to heal the sick. The actuall murderer of the two girls is in the same block as Coffey, and everybody knows that it was him. This man is very odd. He is the type of guy that finds joy in making everybodies life miserable. He has no self resent for what he did, and takes pride in his accomplishments. The movie is very similar to the books ( though the books are better ). This movie was definitley a tear jerker. It was the kind of story where you had mixed emotions towards it. For instance John was put in the electrical chair to die for a crime he dident commit. You wanted him to live so bad, but at the same time you wanted him to live in peace. He had such a beautiful soul, but I guess that it was to much for the such a self centered world. He had no place in the world. He was shunned because his looks, and the killing of the two girls. I wish that the real criminal was caught. It bothered me how socity deamed him the killer when no work was put into the investigation. What, is that what our soictey is going to become, the world where everybody points there fingers without knowing what really went on.

It's sad how our world considering what advantages we have, can still manage to find some way to destroy something so beautiful. Are we really that self centred. Ask yourself: "Who are the real killers"? Is it us? Will we be the ones who manage to turn all beauty into something that's so ugly? John Coffey was a man who had a gift that could of changed humanity, but humanity had mangaged to change it. Humanity had managed to take away one of the most beauitful things that was ever created. I bet you when John sat in that chair. He thought of death as a silent peace where all the screams of pain, and tears of depression would disapear. A place where silence would wrap him in it's warm blanket. When he walked down The Green Mile the world may of just turned a little bit darker.
