| Welcome to the Week 8 discussion board! This week I’d like us to take a close look at the character Ray from Stephen King’s short story “Premium Harmony.” (Links to an external site.) I’d like for us to consider what we know about his character and how we come to know this information. In other words, I want us to explore how Stephen King constructs Ray’s character. In order to participate in the Week 8 discussion board, it’s important that you first closely read “Premium Harmony.” Also, this week you will be required to post first before seeing replies. 1. Do you like Ray? Why or why not? Do you find him to be a sympathetic protagonist? Please include textual evidence to support your answer. 2. Write a dating profile for Ray based on what you know about him and what information you think he might offer. The dating profile should be written from the point of view of Ray. Below, I’ve included a number of suggested categories. You should feel free to add and/or remove categories. Have fun and be creative!
