The Plot Thickens While John Coffey's Hands Heal

     Realtity Check: At this time Edgecomb is in an assisted living home because his grandchildren thought it was best for him, a home called Georgia Pines, a home where he made friends with another elderly person named Elaine who they share a sublte romance (Edgecomb's wife died long before this). So the first chapter of section three is Edgecomb describing the home and gives the reader a litte snick snack of his lifestyle there. He describes his stay there as the solution to his gradnchildren's "problem" and namely him being their problem. Which makes me question, where are his own kids? If he has grandchildren already sending him to a nursing home, shouldn't his children still be alive. But I digress, his children probably died in some gruesome ping pong table accident that he just forgets to mention and fill the reader in with. But I should be a little kinder and respect the fictional dead, their fictional family is still probably impacted immensely from the ficitonal event.
     So then the story does another blast to the past and Edgecomb is young... -ish again and is still a guard at the pen. This time another inmate joins the E block crew and his name is William Wharton who likes to be called Syd the Kid because of course he has a tattoo with that name on his arm, as one does. But everyone who he comes into contact with goes ahead and sticks with his nickname Wild Bill which he hates with a passion. Wild Bill is acutally 19 years old but he sure is a handful. In a report about his it was written that, "he just doesn't care" which Edgecomb points out was underlined. Well on the transaction to getting Wild Bill into the prison, he just so happens to alsmot kill one of the younger guards. Shame it wasn't Wetmore, who at the time was frozen stiff from "fear" of the attack on his co-worker. Wild Bill is now the spice to this boring taco of a prison and keeps the guards somewhat busy.
     Ok so let's really get down to the nitty gritty, Edgecomb complains for the longest time about his urinery tract infection and goes into gross detail about how it feels when he pees and when the days gros hot. I did not feel compelled to read the many parts about how much pain his unmentionable was in but I did anyways because it leas into this next portion where I will tell you that... JOHN COFFEY'S HAND ARE MAGIC! It all starts with Coffey telling telling Edgecomb that he's capable to help him only if Edgecomb would let Coffey touch his crotch. Edgecomb did. Weird. And then Edgecomb describes Coffey "healing" his UTI to the point where he is cured by it. We don't know what John Coffey is but my guess is he is put here to literally heal but also as to figuratively heal society as a negro and its corruption by one innocent act at a time. Jeez, Stephen King, you think you're like the Rosetta Stone but I can crack you.
     Sprinkled throughout the story, the fact is mentioned and backed up by dog-like mouse tricks that Steamboat Willie was adopted by Del and Del said that Steamboat Willie whispered to him, among tother things, that his name is actually Mr. Jingles. So Mr. Jingles is now Del's pet and he can do tricks that seem like only a dog would do. So the day before Del's execution Del was wondering what would happen to Mr. Jingles. While this is being discussed Del accidently rolls Mr. Jingles toys out of his cell and Mr. Jingle follows and while out in the open of the prison, Wetmore stomps on Mr. Jingles and kills him out of unreasonable hatred toward Del and Mr. Jingles. What a way to end a section.
