: The end of Carrie is quite effective. Here's what happens as Carrie dies:Her rapid breathing slowed, slowed, caught suddenly as if on a thorn--I'm a big fan of a story ending where it began. And here we have an allusion to the shower scene at the beginning. It also contains the symbolism of blood that courses throughout the book.
And suddenly vented itself in one howling, cheated scream.
As she felt the slow course of dark menstrual blood down her thighs.
Exercise: Check the ending of your story. Is there a way to link it to the beginning? Does it contain symbols that run throughout the book?
