1. I do not thing that King uses an explicitly stated thesis in this essay. He refers going to see a horror film to riding a roller coaster. He also writes in the essay about people daring to see horror movies like it’s a guilty pleasure and to unleash the inner child in them.
2. King compares a horror film to a roller coaster; he also compares the feelings that you get when you are watching a horror film and riding a roller coaster. King uses description throughout the essay when writing about people’s emotions and he illustrates it so well that you can actually picture what he is writing. He also uses narration in the essay when he referred to actual characters in horror movies like the melting woman and he narrates the story about the boy and his joke about the bowling ball and babies.
3. I think King chose to write such a short concluding paragraph so it could leave the readers wanting to know more and to let the readers make up their own scary, twisted ending themselves.
