five and a half years agoChris CameronMy guess as to Christine's motivation for anger has to do with her sense of loss when her friends began to prepare for graduation and moving on with their lives. Although she may also have been wanting to spend more time with her boyfriend, I suspect that their natural interest in their own futures felt like a betrayal to the girl who'd already experienced such traumatic loss, and would be forced to fend for herself once again through her final year of high school. Perhaps the pain was strong enough to trigger a) dependence upon a questionable boyfriend, b) escalated conflict with her parents, and c) eventual murderous rage toward her estranged friends when she saw that they were doing so well for themselves.
