Additional Info
Read Stephen King's short essay entitled "The Toolbox."

1.) Why does King spend so much time writing about his grandfather's/uncle's toolbox? It seems like he could just get on with it.

2) What can we learn about writing from the passage in bold?

3) What is King's main point about vocabulary? Why do you think he chose to use two different kinds of writing examples?
