The Bear

Yes I have read The Bear, but if you ask me questions about it I couldn't answer. This is what I know. The book starts off in the middle of something. Then it becomes a boys trial in learning how to be a hunter. It is a wonderful tale about a bear with missing toes who is wise and the training of a dog to be used in hunting. Even now the names escape me. The group hunts down the bear and kill it. Right about here, chapter four I think, the novel is as uncomprehendable as my Wallace Stevens poem. I was never quite sure of what was happening except that Faulkner wasn't using aeriods. Pages and paragraphes went by without the use of a period. I am as confused as ever but confused on a higher level.
