11/22/63 By Steven King takes place in generally speaking, the United States. But more specifically, in Maine, Texas, and sometimes, Florida. The story is about a school teacher, named Jake Epping, who befriends an old restaurant owner named Al Templeton, that shows him a very, unusual feature to his restaurant, a time machine in the restaurant basement, allowing time travel back to the 1950's.
Al tells Jake that he has the potential to prevent the assassination of the United States 35th President, John F. Kennedy, which leaves Jake in awe. But what Jake doesn't know, is what ever happens in the past, affects the future, or in his case, the present.
The Sentence of Brilliance, or SOB of the book so far is "Sometimes the world we live in is truly a weird place." (p.358) I chose this sentence because it can really connect to the audience, no matter who they are, they can relate to it. That sentence also appears when its needed at best, right after a very good conversation (dialogue).
The Most Important Passage, or MIP of the book so far is "It's on you, buddy. About 2 hours after Doris finds me in the morning, the landlord will probably padlock the diner, so it has to be tonight. Save him, okay? Save Kennedy and everything changes. Please." (p. 243) I chose this passage because the passage basically defines the book, the time travelling, why Jake is time travelling, etc.
