Geordie lachance biography of michael
The Body was published in King's 1982 collection Different Seasons and later adapted into the 1986 film Stand by Me.[1]
The story takes place during the summer of 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine.
After a boy disappears and is presumed dead, twelve-year-old Gordie LaChance and his three friends set out to find his body along the railway tracks. During the course of their journey, the boys, who all come from abusive or dysfunctional families, come to grips with death and the harsh truths of growing up in a small factory town that does not seem to offer them much of a future
