Carrie by Stephen King and Princess of Mars by Edgar Borroughs are my favorite books because they are great forms of art and also really entertaining. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies and these two books are great stories of science fiction as well as magnificent representation of Popular Culture.
Popular Culture marked a significant change in the American society. It developed itself along with Americans’ ideas. Stephen King is one of the greatest writers of popular culture. He was born in September 21st of 1947 in Portland, Maine. King and his brother David were raised by their mother after their parents divorced.King is the author of many entertaining short stories, novels, and movies such as Carrie, Salem’s Lot, The Eyes of the Dragon, Hearts in Atlantis and others. In 1974 Doubleday & Co. published Carrie, which allowed King to leave teaching and to start writing full-time. Carrie was his first work published and it was a very influential story because later it will be adapted in a movie released two years after its publication. Stephen King wrote in the introduction that the novel Carrie was inspired in two girls he knew in high school and everybody considered them odd and weird.The girls died and the characteristics of Carrieta “Carrie” White was the combination of them.
Princess of Mars is an incredible story of adventure and love with amazing characters that takes ones’ imagination to another world. Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in Chicago, on September 1st of 1857. His father, George Tyler Burroughs, was a civil was veteran. Edgar had five brothers but two of them died.
