Plot summary The book uses fictional documents to frame the story of Carrie (Carrietta) White, a teenager from Chamberlain, Maine, who has been abused at home for years by her unstable Christian fundamentalist mother, Margaret. She does not fare much better at Ewen High School; at the beginning of the novel Carrie has her first period while showering after physical education class. Carrie, who is terrified, has no concept of menstruation; her mother never spoke to her about it, and she has been a social outcast throughout high school. But the thought that this could be Carrie's first period never occurs to her classmates; instead of sympathizing with the frightened Carrie, they use it as an opportunity to make fun of her, bombarding her with tampons and sanitary napkins instead of helping. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin sees what is going on and immediately tries to help Carrie while girls sneak away in order not to get in trouble. At first Miss Desjardin is like the other classmates, getting mad at Carrie for freaking out. But soon she realizes Carrie has no idea what is happening to her and helps her. As a result something makes a light above them burn out all of a sudden. Read more here |

I have only seen the movie, what has been said here does not really summarize the story. It is such an epic and scary story, I never want to see it again lol. |
