The monsters don’t eat anything thematic, necessarily, but their role in the story ties into the book’s larger theme. I’m about to start doing some revisions and will end up weaving in more thematic/symbolic significance!I can’t find the post in the thread, but I did get an email about American lit….I actually haven’t had as much luck with American lit! I do think Flannery O’Connor is a phenomenal writer and Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury is a great book. Otherwise I haven’t read many that I loved.
