Rant #4

As i continue further into Rant by Chuck Palahniuk, i can see more and more character development of Rant Casey.  In the beginning three men were talking about discovering how such a monster was created.  Now i am beginning to understand how they could think Rant was a monster.  At first, his pranks and schemes seemed harmless, but now as time continues they become worse and worse.  The towns people talk of how one halloween, Rant had a hunted house.  His blind folded the kids and had them stick there hands into macaroni and said "this is brains".

"Glenda Hendersen (Childhood Neighbor): For God's sake.  All the kids, just their fingers, one hand or both, some their arms and their costumes, little pirates and faries and hobos, but they're all smeared with blood..."

"Sheriff Bacon Carlyle: Worse than the worse-ever police crime photo."

These quotes show A, how Rant has a odd and cruel sense of humor, and B, that it created and extremely unwanted inconvenience in the small town of Middleton.  The book is beginning to show Rant terrorizing people, and maybe this is foreshadowing for something bigger.

  This is the first time that Rant has angered the whole town, and it shows how Rant is evolving to be extremely different.
