Charles Portis the author of the western action novel first published in 1968 "True Grit" and several other books; Gringos, Norwood and the Dog of the South also the inspiration for the film "True Grit" did an extravagant job in forming a beautiful piece of work. True Grit and Carrie have something very important in common. They both have the same theme, revenge. Drugs & alcohol, murder and violence all play a huge part in this story, even though revenge is throughout this whole story and play a much bigger role than all the other ones in this story.
A quote from the story representing revenge is "People do not give credence that a fourteen-year-old-girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood but it did not seem so strange then, although I will say it didn't happen every day". This quote really touches upon the previously made points without getting into the story to much.
The story of the young girl out to avenge her father and all the trials and tribulations she went through were very inspiring and I suggest that many read this book.
