Status Updates From Rage - A l'école de l'enfer

It's also interesting to note how the kids reacted to the event: with almost numb indifference.

I think Mr King wrote this as a thought-exercise into family abuse and gun culture in the US as a whole, not as incitement.

So what exactly did Charlie do to his chemistry teacher before the event?
Also, what else happened to him that led to his actions?

Okay, it's important to note that when Mr King first wrote this book, school gun violence was NOT an issue in the US yet.

Would Charlie's background story or motivation be more revealed?

Mr King's prose in this book is very experimental.... but I like it!

Jeremy spoke in, spoke in, class todayyyy

Okaaaaay

Oh boy this is gonna be controversial. But the prose is unmistakably early King. No doubt about it. He even wrote in the first person perspective - maybe that's why he had to put the book out of print.
