I just read "The Beast . . ." last night. I have no idea what I read and I'm pretty certain it has nothing to do with reading comprehension skills.

One of the things I was thinking about, after reading it all, was that it seemed to be heavily reliant on symbolism, which is part of the reason it went over my head. That said, he used some really strong imagery, and it made me wonder how the story would have seemed if instead of being written, it was drawn out. Edit: That said, it'd probably be pretty startling in the depicted violence.
