Hello everyone and welcome to the Stephen King cast One Man's Musings on the Works of Stephen King.

Once I reviewed each of his works in the chronological order of publication, but Ka is a wheel,

it all goes around again, and here I am once more back at the beginning on a new phase of the

journey to examine each of the endings of the works of Stephen King to determine whether or not

King deserves his reputation for having an

inability to successfully land his endings. The focus of the podcast is going to be to examine

the climax, the following action, and the resolution of the endings of each of his novels,

and break it down by character themes, conflict, and plot to determine whether or not it meets

the criteria of being an objectively good ending. I will also weigh in on whether or not it meets the criteria of being an objectively good ending.

I will also weigh in on whether or not I happen to personally like the ending.

This week I'm going to be examining the conclusion to Christine.

for the ending so this is from Wikipedia in the summer of 1978 while high school student

Dennis Gilder is riding home from work with his friend nerdy teen Arnold Arnie Cunningham

Arnie spots a dilapidated red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury parked

behind a house.

Arnie makes Dennis stop so he can examine the car, despite Dennis' attempts to talk him out

of it.

Roland D. LaBaye, an elderly gentleman wearing a back brace, sells the car, which he had named

Christine to Arnie for $250.

While waiting for Arne to finish the paperwork, Dennis sits inside Christine and has a vision

of the car and the surroundings as they were when the car was new 20 years before.
