Wordy Words on WordsA couple things:<br>
<br>
1) I would LOVE to know what the ladies think about the female representation in this book. I was always told girls are SUPER catty and shitty to each other, but I’m a dude so what do I know?<br>
<br>
2) A letter from Macon, GA is how this novel closes out. As interesting as that is, it’s RIDDLED with spelling errors and that’s way more interesting. Slightly offensive. Really funny. <br>
<br>
3) I remember hearing something about a play in football where everyone knows what’s going to happen but it works anyway. <br>
<br>
That’s this book. <br>
<br>
There’s no mystery here, but it doesn’t matter. He says Carrie is telekinetic in no time flat. He’ll tell you someone is going to die and at no point do you say “ugh! Spoilers!” Instead, you continue to read because now you need to know HOW it happens. <br>
<br>
This occurs over and over again and it never goes poorly. I love it.<br>
<br>
4) It’s implied that Sue Snell is pregnant before she hooks up with Carrie who initially thinks Snell was part of this. Then they have a moment where Carrie goes through Snell’s brain to see if she had any role in what happened at prom.<br>
<br>
She didn’t, and, as Carrie died (spoiler alert), Sue starts her (late) period.<br>
<br>
It seems to ME that this was a last-minute gift of sorts because Snell wasn’t really prepared for motherhood.<br>
<br>
I know, I know. Some people wouldn’t consider abortions gifts, but you never know what people want and gifts are all about what THEY want, not about what YOU want to give, you know what I mean? <br>
<br>
But I’m curious what you guys think. <br>
<br>
On one hand, I could see it as bookends for the story - it starts and ends with periods - but I could see it as an act of mercy from Carrie as well. Maybe because Carrie wasn’t super stoked on her own existence at that point? <br>
<br>
Let me know what you think.<br>
