The Mark of The Beast

The story The Mark of the Beast is a story that could impact my life as well as

yours. It can do that in many ways by relating. The story can relate because it is the story

of this guy moving to a new place that he has never been to before. He moves to the

country of India. He doesn’t know what exactly is happening and that can relate to many

people.

This guy named Fleete moves to India and doesn’t really know the Indian

traditions and he ends up burning this monkey statue and a bunch of weird stuff begins to

happen. This can be related to many people because when you move somewhere you

don’t exactly know the people and their traditions so it can be very easy to mess things up

like Fleete did. If you believe in that superstition stuff then you can understand how a

mistake can turn into a very bad situation. After burning the monkey statue Fleete has

very many bad experiences and all he can do is just take the pain because of that one

mistake that he made of burning the Indian monkey statue.

So the story of The Mark of The Beast can relate to a lot of people including me, I

have told you how the story related to us and also a little bit of what the story is about so

if you get a chance to read it do it.
