"I don't wanna fight with you mamma",Carrie said, and her voice almost broke from her and dissolved. She struggled to control it. "I only want to be let to live my own life .I...I don't like yours.". She stopped, horrified in spite of herself. The ultimate blasphemy had been spoken, and it was a thousand times worse than the eff word." P.92
This quote symbolizes not only Carrie breaking free from her mother but the overall feeling rings true for any person with the true intentions of breaking free from oppressive parents. She hates to do it because she loves her mother as do most kids who want to move off of her parents but she says that she doesn't like her mother's lifestyle and wants her own, as do the others. It also represents the fear that one may have, the feel that they're doing something wrong like Carrie felt that it was the "ultimate blashpemy".
