So we pick up from where we left off last with an angry Desjarin getting ready to punish the girls in her class for what they did to Carrie. They all knew what was coming because they were acting, but Desjarin goes to Chris Hargensen first because she was the head of it. The teacher proves to be fairly brave when she slams Chris against a locker which is an offense that even in that time could easily get her fired. Chris, of course, begins to cuss at her and she cusses back. The good thing is the girls prove to feel wrather guilty for what theyve done. The brave and commanding spirit and the way that she takes up for Carrie really makes me like her. She ends up giving the girls one week of hard detention and if they don't show up they get refused their prom tickets. So, naturally, Chris skips and we get another foreshadow with Chris saying "This isn't over by a long shot, and she was right". In another exerpt from "The Shadow Exploded" we find that Carrie herself dies which is a huge spoiler for me. It suddenly becomes clear to me that Mr.King is using these articles (fake articles) as either character building or foreshadowing. After this we meet the principal and Chris' lawyer father. Her father threatens to sue but is driven away by the threat from the principal, Mr.Grayer, to countersue him on Carrie's behalf. In another exerpt from "The Shadow Exploded" shows us a poem that Carrie wrote in the 7th grade that really showed her feelings of lonliness and evidence that she has dealt with depression most of her life. Now we go to the fruit stand, which is the teen hang out for those in Chamberlaine. Sue goes there and unintentionally meets Chris, with her new boyfriend Billy Nolan the greaser/gangster. i find I like Chris more than I do Chris because she is up front about everything where as Sue isn't. In another exert from "The Shadow Exploded" we find the first traces of Chris' plans of taking revenge out on Carrie. Sue ends up writing a book and in it she talks about prom night and how she was blamed for whatever happened. She says there was 200 deaths and the destruction of the whole town which also seems like a huge spoiler alert. We end these 15 pages with Sue asking Tommy if he would ask Carrie out to prom as a way of making up with her.
