Something I noticed about the copy of the Shining that I purchased was that before the actual novel, like in most books there was a section written by the author. I immediately decided to grab a notepad and pen, as this is something written by Stephen King himself, explaining his thought process in the creation of the Shining.
Although this isn't something I will focus on heavily in my essay- you can never have too much research and information on subjects like this, and I'm sure this will come in useful when comparing the novel to the film and television series.

| The introduction in which King explains the creation of the Jack Torrence character, and why he decided to develop him in a particular way. |
Whilst I was researching some Shining stuff at the Maidstone studios, I also discovered that another student, Sam Mckeown had also chosen The Shining as his source of investigation for this essay. Therefore I think it may be useful for me and Sam to possibly exchange some notes, and make each other aware of possible study areas in order to improve both our essays.
Of course, it will be important to make our essays as different as possible, and avoid plagiarizing each others work at all costs.
Also, I have made a brief video blog showing how I plan to compare the novel of The Shining with the Television Series:
