The book has a movie adaptation from the same year.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Summary<\/b><\/td>\n<td>\n<p>The novel tells the story of Christine, a red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury. The book focuses on the story of this possessed automobile, what it has been through, and how it changes the life of its new owner, Arnie.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Main characters<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Arnie buys Christine for $250. He is a nerdy teen who tries DIY ideas on his new car, and, in the process, changes himself. Another main character is Dennis, who is Arnie&#8217;s friend. He doesn&#8217;t like Christine and gets puzzled by the changes he sees in his friend and the vehicle.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Plot<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Retell the overall story and major plot twists. Be sure to include how the plot picks pace, what conflicts arise, how they get resolved, and how the book ends. Mention any literary themes and plot devices you observed in the book. Highlight all the elements that the novel touches on. A good example is the jealousy and attention factor, where Arnie starts to become more attentive to Christine, and in the process, begins to lose his love and his family.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Analysis (Evaluation)<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Offer your unique critique of the book. What did you think were its strong points and weak points? Describe how easy it was to sustain interest in the book. Write about what you learned while reading the book and focus on how it affected you emotionally. Also, include quotes or events from the book to support your arguments.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Include a short paragraph with your honest opinion on the book and say whether you recommend that others read it and why.
