The movie Stand by Me was based on the novel "The Body" written by Stephen King. The movie and novel was about four young boys who go on a two-day search for the dead body of a boy their age who was hit by a train outside Castle Rock in 1960. They talk about their dreams and fears, and face their own death along the way, but end up finding more than they ever dreamed of. The main characters are Chris, Gordie, Teddy and Vern. A story of friends who are on their way into adolescence, the movie and the novel shows the friends growing up to become adults. Maturity is a part of life and sometimes kids need to mature before their time.
In the present day, Gordie, a professional writer, reminisces back into the past of his childhood memories and how it leads to the death of his best friend Chris. When the boys are thirteen, Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern were very good friends. They shared a tree house together with a secret knock. The boys seem to be happy hanging out together. When they find out about the dead body of Ray Brower, the boys take a step closer to adolescence. Throughout the movie and novel, I can see the boys becoming mature. In the movie and novel, Gordie is given a chance to steer his life into the right path and he does by going to college. Eventually Gordie becomes a successful writer and father. Chris is the one who encourages him to keep writing and bring his life into the right direction. He is like a father Gordie never had. His dad did not care about Gordie. Chris is a father figure who watches over Gordie and protects him from harm. While on the journey, the boys walk along the train tracks. The tracks symbolize the road to life. .
While on their way, the boys face many obstacles like the train coming towards Gordie and Vern. They both run and dodge it before it hits them. It is as if they are running away from the problems in their life but we have to face them one day or another.
