Not too late for what? To back off, to let well enough alone? Or bad enough, come to that? The idea of backing off was attractive, God knew. If I went up and things went wrong, this could be my last night with Sadie. Ever. Even if you do have to kill him, you dont have to do it right away. B. I think this excerpt is important because it shows how slender the novel is in recreating the history of the JFK assassination and in the fictional parts as well. as well as it shows the behavior of the narrator Jake.It shows how obsessed he is with the mission to stop the ssassination and it not easily distracted. He puts much thought into each and every decision. In his decision to not kill Oswald sooner quite than later is a big mistake on his part and is caused by his over thinking every aspect of the mission. Jake will eventually be beaten and suffer memory loss and as a result be late to kill Oswald and as a result of that Sadie will die. V. Explain cast off A. For my project I decided to complete project number 43 which was to research the author of the book I chose and present that information.It goes into detail on Stephen Kings emotional state from early childhood days to modern times and explains how great of a writer he was. I featured some of his popular written kit and boodle and notable awards in my research. VI. Why should the book be considered for selection A. I think the book 11/22/63 should be considered for selection because it is a very knowledgeable book . It explains about a time that mostly anyone alive during will remember where they were. It takes the events of the JFK assassination and puts a science fictional twist on them.Throughout the novel the details about the past are written in detail and allow the reader to learn about a real event while enjoying the thrill of a fictional novel. The abundance of pages might seem like a lot but it is a very good read therefore very much worth it. I found myself at times not able to put the book down because interesting events were just about always occurring. The novel also has a wide variety of high-level vocabulary words suitable for high school students. Therefore I accept that the book 11/22/63 should be considered for selection.
