Ryan’s comments from the Stranger Things group.

When I was younger, there was always this one house in my neighborhood that we never went to trick-or-treat at. It was ominous with its dark brick and high hill it sat on. This is similar to how people view the White's house. Carrie White is a telekinetic pubescent girl who is just now beginning to realize and understand her power. The first time she used her power was after her mom began yelling at her for talking with the sunbathing neighbor. On page 38 it says, "She (Margaret White) just whooped. Rage. Complete, insane rage. Her face went just as red as the side of a fire truck and she curled her hands into fists and whooped at the sky" (King 38). This insane mother-daughter interaction lead to a common routine in the white household of the mother locking Carrie in a closet to pray. Carrie became so mad and frustrated that she made large ice chunks fall on only their own house.
