I'm supposed to write about my favorite novel, sadly I don't have just one favorite. One of my favorite authors would have to be Stephen King. He writes mostly about supernatural things and is mostly a fictional writer. If I had to choose a novel to be my favorite, it would have to be one of his. I choose The Green Mile as my favorite novel. This novel was written in 1996 by Stephen King.

This is a heart wrenching novel that was turned into a heart wrenching movie. It's a magical realism novel. It's also a first person narrative of Paul Edgecombe, which also involves many falshbacks from old Paul back to young Paul. It shows the Green Mile, and its inhabitants. The Green Mile is so named due to the color of the floor, which is a shade of old, fading lime. It shows how the characters grow together, face problems and in the end face the guilt felt by executing an innocent man.

This novel is my favorite because it actually brings out emotion in me. It teaches us that twe shouldn't judge a book by its cover. That miracles can happen. It teaches me that a person's outer appearance doesn't necessarily represent who/what a person is on the inside.
