  1. January 17-18, 2013 Stephen King writes, "I get paid to show people different perspectives. It's like exercising a muscle, rather than letting it go slack. . . . I have not skill that improves the quality of life in a physical sense at all. The only thing I can do is say: 'Look here, this is the way you didn't look at it before. It's just a cloud to you, but look at it, doesn't it look like an elephant?' Somebody says: 'Boy! it does look like an elephant!' And for that, people pay because they've lost all of it themselves." • Warm-Up: Have you read any stories or poems about things that come to life? Why do you like or dislike them? Write 1/2 page.
