~*~ Part B ~*~ In the third week of book club, Mark forgot to bring in food. Alex Tang is part B, and is answering. Alex asked what the emotion of the book was, and Mark answered concern, jealousy, and love. Examples of this is how the monsters get jealous when Max favors other monsters, and love is when Carol is also caring about the monsters, and is concerned about their well being. So far, the tone in this book is light with an overtone of dark. In the beginning it is light because all the monsters are happy with him, but then it is getting darker because most of the Wild Things are getting angry at him.
