Carrie was the first book written by King and it is noted that there are many tiring parts of reading, long dialogues and many technical terms are used for Carrie's paranormal gift, telekinesis.

She can lift hairbrushes and knock over bratty kids on bicycles with her mind.

You probably know how Carrie begins: a young girl (Carrie, naturally) gets her first period in the shower at high school.

The other girls, being the sensitive creatures they are, yell at her and pelt her with tampons.

After Miss Desjardin, the gym teacher, figures out what's going on, she punishes the troublemakers.

The bullies' ringleader then blames Carrie for getting her in trouble.

Because it's totally the victim's fault when you abuse someone.

Carrie has a lot of time to explore her special powers because she doesn't have any friends.

Poor Carrie.

Also, her super religious mother isn't much of a social butterfly herself.

Margaret White blames sin for everything… like Carrie getting her period, for example.

Margaret makes Carrie's very existence seem like a sin.

That's no good for self-esteem.

Tommy Ross invites Carrie to the prom , and she accepts.

Carrie makes her own beautiful dress and goes with Tommy to the prom.

She's scared the whole time that it's going to be a prank, because she's so used to the other kids being awful to her.

Tommy is really nice to her, though.

Sadly, that's not the end of the story.

See, unbeknownst to Carrie, Chris Hargensen has rigged the prom elections so that Carrie and Tommy win King and Queen.

And that's a crucial part of her plan to humiliate Carrie in front of the whole school.

When Carrie and Tommy get up on stage, Chris and her boyfriend dump buckets of pig's blood on Carrie and Tommy.

A bucket even falls on Tommy's head and kills him.

But the whole school is preoccupied with laughing at Carrie.

So she unleashes her telekinetic powers and kills everyone.

She has people burned alive, electrocuted, you name it.

She lays waste to gas stations and churches in her path.

Especially not the religious institutions that seem to inspire her mom's abuse.

Finally, Carrie goes home.

Now everyone (who's left, anyway) is safe and sound, right?

Wrong.

Carrie's mother tries to kill her.

But our Carrie kills Momma instead, then goes to the roadhouse where Chris and Billy are staying.

She burns that roadhouse down to the ground.

Billy seeks revenge by trying to run Carrie over with his car.

Carrie employs those special powers again, flips the car over, and kills both Chris and Billy.

At the very end of the novel, we see a letter from a mother to her sister.

No, not from Carrie to Margaret.

This is a communication between two characters we've never seen before.

In it, the mom describes her daughter, who can levitate marbles with her mind.

"Hm, do we have another Carrie on her hands?"

is clearly the question we're meant to be asking ourselves.

(Not.) Anyway, this chick, who's named Chris Hargensen, starts plotting her revenge.

Or, at least in Carrie's mind, the girl who is now standing on-stage covered in pig's blood, everyone is laughing.

So she unleashes her telekinetic powers and kills everyone.

She has people burned alive, electrocuted, you name it.

Nothing is sacred to Carrie, we guess.

Especially not the religious institutions that seem to inspire her mom's abuse.
