Okay I am a rails guys coming over to ruby, perhaps the wrong way
around but hey.
I know this is a painfully simple question but I tried google but I dont
really know what to search for.
is there any way for a sub class to access the instance infront of it?
totally stupid class
class Monster
BOO = 'hoo'
attr_accessor :roisin
def initialize
@roisin = 'rasp'
end
class Verbal
def growl
puts 'grrrrrrrr'
end
end
def speach
Verbal.new.growl
end
end
how can Verbal access the instance of Monster that created it?

class Monster

attr_accessor :roisin

class Verbal
attr_reader :monster
def initialize(monster)
@monster = monster
end
def growl
puts 'grrrrrrrr'
end
end
def speach
Verbal.new(self).growl
end
end

I altered your code above, this should do what you're looking for.
Basically, you just need to pass the instance of the Monster upon creation
of the Verbal instance.
HTH,
