I was an animal-not quite wolf or bear or gorilla or dog, but some horrible species that walked upright, that was almost human, yet not. Fangs grew from my mouth, my fingers were clawed and hair grew from every pore. I, who’d looked down on people with Zits or halitosis, was a monster. The gothic girl,(Kendra) said, “I am allowing the World to see you as you truly are,”. “ A BEAST.” You have lived your whole life being cruel. Now you must find someone willing to look beyond your hideousness and see some good in you, something to love. If not you will stay a Beast forever!” Question: What kind of irony is in the passage? Is he still a Beast on the outside? On the inside? How can this be an example of irony in the novel? Explain your answer and make text connections by finding a quote.
