Carrie's tears near the end.

I feel really bad for her. She was tormented a long time and finally fought back.

TZTM---The Jews don't own everything, the Arabs won't let them.

its revealed that ALL the tears appear to be selfserving.

Anyone else not feel all 'that' bad for Carrie?

The book was much better. She left the prom and finished off most of the town after the school. THEN she went home with the sole purpose of killing her mother.

I saw her crying as "What did I do to deserve having the pig blood poured on me?" The sad part is that she was constantly punished for things that she can't control. She can't help it that her mother is a Bible holding wacko. She couldn't help it that she got her first period in the locker room, and she never received sexual education about how to handle it. She couldn't help it that the coach punished the girls by making them do her after-school boot camp style exercises. For those reasons, I feel lament for Carrie, and I can understand how the pig blood was the straw that broke the camel's back and suddenly used her telekinesis for vengeance.

I think you are the only one.

the tears were long awaited of 'I fought back because of what they did'. They did some horrid things to carrie over the years but the prom prank was just disgusting and barbaric. they totally had it coming.

This reaction often happens when people who have been the subject of bullying and tormenting finally fight back. When I moved from Long Island to Westchester I was made fun of because of, you name it--- I wasn't pretty enough, I wasn't cool enough, I wasn't rich enough -- or poor enough for it to matter, I wasn't enough of anything except of one thing... annoying [to them]. Now three years later I am I'm middle school and I gather some friends. I was telling a funny story to some of my friends and then we went our separate ways to go to class. as I turn down the hall one of my 'tormenters in elementary school' turns to my ear and laughs really loudly. before I even realize what was really happening, I slap his face away from mine.

I take a step back and stop in my tracks and then burst into tears. my friends were still in the area and they take care of me. some other teachers witnessed and asked us separately what was going on. he told how his friends just told him a funny story and he was still reacting to it and I told how he has been bullying me for the past 3 years so what the hell am I supposed to think he is doing?. the office just chalked it down to an accident but the justice was when I got home.

my guidance counselor [who happened to witness it too] called my mother just to let her know and said -- I got him good. {ha ha!}

sometimes enough is enough!




and I would love to see you use your newly found powers with no official lessons into controlling your powers AND emotions while you use them.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

If she stopped crying when her mother showed up, then maybe it's because her mother doesn't like criers.
