Carrie


Stephen King


The main characters in this story are Carrie,her mom(Mrs.White),and Chris Hargenson.


Carrie is a very shy and nieve girl.She is mad fun of often by the other girls at school.She


is tired of being mad fun of and realizes she has mental powers.Mrs.White is a religious


phanatic who is basically crazy.Carrie?s mom takes everything out on her.Chris


Hargenson is a girl Carrie goes to school with who is very snotty,and like the other


girls,makes fun of Carrie.


The setting takes place in a small town in New England during the 1980?s.The story


mainly takes place in Carrie?s home and school.She turns her town into a tale of terror.


One day Carrie is at school in the gym locker room and she gets her menses.Well,shes


not sure what it is and she starts screaming and crying for help.The other girls start


making fun of her because they know what it is.Because they made fun of Carrie so


horribly,they have to run laps after school.When they got to gym detention,Chris refused


to run.The gym teacher gets very upset so she decides to take Chris?s prom tickets


away.Now Chris hates Carrie.Chris and the other girls make up in evil plan to make Carrie


look rediculous at the prom.The plan is to vote Carrie prom queen and hummiliate her by


droping a bucket of pigs blood on her.Chris sneaks into the gym right before the prom


and sets the bucket of pigs blood above the rafters.The prom starts and Carrie and her


date are called up for prom king and queen.As Carrie walks up to get crowned,the pigs


blood falls on her head.She is so upset now that she uses her mental powers to trap every


one inside the gym and light the school on fire.


The theme is that Carrie uses her new found mental abilities to get revenge a

gainst her


peers for embarrasing her.This story reminds me of the teen shootings that have been


happening lately in schools.I think the book has a good theme,though,because it


discusses the ordeals teens have with thier peers.It tells the readers what really happens


when kids in school show violence.


The mood is very depressing and upseting because she is mad fun of so much.It is also


very gory and terrifying when everyone is burned to death.


The author?s purpose was to shock and stune the readers by holding so much suspense


and horror in each story.He also likes to prove that kids should watch out about what they


say because what goes around comes around.
