Opinion of Carrie

So far I have really enjoyed the novel Carrie by Stephen King. It is very unique and suspenseful. We see Carrie being picked on and constantly under a lot of stress. The book keeps switching time periods by going back into the past to show how Carrie was raised, as well as skipping to the future to show short interviews and doctors notes about Carrie. The past shows us how messed up the environment Carrie grew up in was. Her mom is a Jesus freak who thinks everything is a sin and really raised Carrie in a bubble. The future shows us that some type of freak accident occured like rocks raining on Carries house, and no one elses house. There are also doctor reports about Carrie and having telekinesis powers. I really enjoy the book and like how they are really developing the character and slowly moving towards a big event where we see Carries powers. She slowly has been able to move things due to a high amount of stress and large amount of emotion, and I believe it will be her mom who pushes her over the edge. Also there has been a lot about her relationship with her mom as a child, but we are yet to see her interact with her mom in the present. It will be interesting to see because it seems like Carrie respects and hates her mom at the same time. Page 50/240
