I love "Stand By Me"...Valid points, Paul! I love "Stand By Me" and I've also read the Steven King novella it was based on. Ace & his gang treat Gordie even more cruelly in the book -- not just with verbal bullying & violent threats, but causing them serious physical harm. The bullying is also directed more at Gordie than Chris, if I remember correctly. I imagine King does a better job explaining the psychology of these boys -- his bully characters are usually likewise bullied & abused by their parents.inspirsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579184262738042591noreply@blogger.com
