Plot summary of the book RAGE FROM WIKIPEDIA AND IS NO NEAR THE STORY THAT CAGAN IRMAK HAS WRITTEN APART FROM A BOY GOING TO SCOHOLL WITH A GUN AND NO TEACHER IS KILLED IN THE FILM SO RESPECT IT MATE AND NO CREDIT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO Stephen King BECAUSE IT IS A BOY GOING TO A SCHOOL WITH A GUN MY SMELLY WASTE WATCH THE FILM FIRST THEN COMMENT READ THE PLOT SUMMARY OF THIS BOOK CALLED RAGE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WATCHED BANA SANS DILE AND PLEASE THE FILM WAS NOT RELEASED BECAUSE OF THE MY SMELLY WAST OF Turkish SYSTEM The narrator, Charlie Decker, a high school senior, details how he had long been fighting his growing rage against the authority figures which populate his world. He finally snapped and hit one of his teachers with a heavy wrench he had taken to carrying in his pocket; after much wrangling and discussion, the incident was dropped and he was allowed to return to school. His mental problems only worsened, and, as the story begins, during a meeting with the school principal, he snaps again. This time, he storms out of the meeting, goes to his locker and gets a gun he had taken from his father's desk. He sets the locker contents on fire, then proceeds to his classroom where he kills his math teacher Mrs. Underwood. The locker-fire sets off an alarm, and the school begins to be evacuated. Another teacher, Mr. Vance, enters the classroom to tell the kids to leave, and Charlie shoots him as well. The school is evacuated even more quickly and the police and media arrive on the scene.

This begins a long afternoon's discussion with his hostages/fellow students. Among many other things, Charlie says that he honestly does not know why he chose to do these things and claims that if he did know, he probably wouldn't do them. While toying with various authority figures who attempt to negotiate with him, he turns the class into a sort of therapy group, causing his schoolmates to semi-voluntarily tell embarrassing secrets about themselves and each other. Interspersed throughout are narrative flashbacks to Charlie's own unpleasant childhood and adolescence, particularly his horrid relationship with his father, an abusive alcoholic. Towards the end of the stand-off, Charlie is shot in the chest by a police marksman, but escapes death thanks to the locker padlock that he put in his breast pocket after starting the fire.

He finally comes to the realization that only one of the other students is really being held there by him and his gun: a seeming "big man on campus" named Ted Jones, who is harboring his own unpleasant secrets. The other students attack Jones, leaving him battered and catatonic, and file out of the school. When the police enter the classroom, the now-unarmed Charlie deliberately makes a wild "threatening" gesture and is shot three times. He survives and is committed to an insane asylum, where he finishes telling his tale to whomever he is telling it, saying it is time to turn out the light.
