Que...Jess's responses to my list of questions:<br /><br />Question 1. I have actually known parents who are so radical and overbearing to their kids. A guy I dated his parents were crazy religious. He had horrible health problems but because of his religion he wasnt aloud to take meds or help from doctors because they thought satan controlled the hospitals with money. They hated me too I was a harlot trying to take their sinless son away to the darkness! MWHAHA! Neways granted they werent as bad as Carries mom but still they told me God told them things. So take that as you will. I think people like anyone can take anything to a WHOLE notha level and make it crazy. <br /><br />Question 2. Its not that girls are the worst. I think girls and guys who bully are bad neway. But girls again are emotional creatures. We go after what WE know hurts us. Our looks. Our friends. Our emotions ect. Girls get down deep with bullying. Like use shit against us that happend like 100 years ago. Guys are physical yes make fun<br />of that dude cuz he looks weird or hit him. But girls<br />Their words can be worse then hitting. They go down deep with words that can legit change ur thinking. Its sick really. Yes I have been bullied. 5TH grade through 8th was horrible. I was called names by a boy who was aweful to me. Cuz I was the new kid. But I had a friend who I thought liked me. But I found out she said shit about me. And that hurt worse then what that boy said. It was stuff she used against me. I think as woman we are always comparing eachother or in compitition. We check woman out more then men. THATS a actual fact. We try to bring eachother down to make us be on top again! Brings it back to the emotional traits we have.<br /><br /> Question 3. Piper WAS Carries mom so perfectly. Even better then the book. That woman scared me for years. I saw her on the Faculty the other day and she still freaks me out. AMAZING actress. Carries mom could not have been played better. <br /><br />Question 4. I am NOT a remake person. I find people who remake SOME classics<br />horrible. So thats another movie I wont be seeing.PTSS/LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170378760779707707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620577442444975548.post-88063842982583267642012-11-07T20:43:01.832-08:002012-11-07T20:43:01.832-08:00Chris was a b-yotch!

But even more in the movie. <br /><br />What I liked about the book as far as prom is that you experienced towns people who were witnessing the destruction. Reading it from their perspective was great. I think even better than reading it from Carrie's.<br /><br />What do you think about the remake that's to be in theaters this spring? <br /><br />PTSS/LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170378760779707707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620577442444975548.post-83369093802130853422012-11-07T20:36:38.362-08:002012-11-07T20:36:38.362-08:00From Jess continued:
And what kind of mother thin...From Jess continued:<br /><br />And what kind of mother thinks your period only comes if you are a sinner! I mean REALLY? How completly confusing and messed up would you turn out? I would kill my town too! Her mother scared me. Mainley because I know there are actual people like that. Who use bogas reasons to control their children. And It works. Brainwashing is real. And religion imo is one of the GREAT reasons people use as an exscuse to control. So sadly Carrie was a innocent girl whos mother made her skiddish and so inside herself ONLY because periods are evil. SEX is evil. I mean sick but people out there believe it. The other characters were nice to read about too. Tommy was sweet. And I think he really liked Carrie. I hated Chris and Billy. How horrible Chris was I mean REALLY. What a little spoiled brat who clearly hates herself to be so terrible to others! Carrie wasnt her first. She was a Bully to others. SICK. I am glad she died. And Billy was a waist of human life. WHO kills pigs and likes it? I<br />HATED that part in the movie but more in the book. AND THE way he slaps her. I mean I know it was the 70s so different but REALLY? What a dumb redneck man who gets sexual thrills by hitting his woman! Gross. Sue I came to like. But when Carrie had already blown up everyone she screamed CARRIE WHITE DID IT! Um ok no really they deserved it. The one part that scared me was when Carrie was smiling when she killed everyone. It was creepy. I mean wow. Overall I liked the book. The movie was great and better in parts but the book described it better. Her death made more sense. But again I love Stephen King.PTSS/LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170378760779707707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620577442444975548.post-78953620680678749602012-11-07T19:47:01.380-08:002012-11-07T19:47:01.380-08:00Jess,

The kind that pushes everything down until she can't take it anymore (Prom) and it's like an out of body, cleansing of the hatred and anger experience. <br /><br />What did you think of Piper Laurie as Margaret? Did you think she gave the book mother justice?PTSS/LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170378760779707707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620577442444975548.post-88609268740703503982012-11-07T19:45:12.788-08:002012-11-07T19:45:12.788-08:00Jess, you bring up some great points:

His parents seemed extremely wacko and kept the kids at home and such. <br />Have you ever known someone who belonged to a group like this or acted in such a way?<br /><br />2) Bullying. Why do you think girls seem to be the worst? Why does it always seem girls are out to get one another? Were you ever bullied growing up?PTSS/LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02170378760779707707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620577442444975548.post-89126278870941720532012-11-07T19:42:34.890-08:002012-11-07T19:42:34.890-08:00From our reader Jess:

It was a really great book. I especially loved the background about TK. How real and scientific it sounded. But most of all I loved how structured the characters were. They had very presise backgrounds. I felt so bad for Carrie though. Mainly because you know that even though the book is fiction there is somewhere out there people, kids who are going through what Carrie did. A Radical religious parent(s) who shelter their children so much that the outside world is feared to them. And they are bullied as well. But being a female who has been teased in school before I related to Carrie who didnt know what she did wrong but took it. Females imo are some of the WORST bullies because we are emotionally driven and we go for the insicurities psycaloical route. Unlike males go the physical route. And ontop of that she has the<br />craziest batshit freak for a mother!
