If you could re-cast/ revise ONE character, who would it be? What changes would you make? Why?

I would change the Mom in the movie to look more ill/sick because in the Movie she didn't really look sick she only looked like she cut her hair but in the book it explained that she looked sick and had no hair.

How is the movie meeting/not meeting your expectations? What is similar to what you thought/different.

A thing that did not meet my expectations was when they revealed the Mom in the movie because the Mom didn't really look sick but in the book it explained that the mom looked sick and that she didn't have hair but in the movie she did have hair.

How does each tale embody Conor's experiences? Analyze each individual tale.

Pg. 52(Story 1): I believe that the second story has something to do with his grandma because in the first story it said that the prince wanted to overrun the Queen because she was evil and so that he could take her place and become king but in order to do that he made a plan to kill the farmers daughter and blame he wicked Queen. This relates to Conor because he doesn't want to live with his grandma so I feel like the grandma is the queen and Conor is the prince and its basically saying that Conor wants to get rid of his grandma and I know this because he told the yew tree that if he could get rid of her.

Pg. 99(Story 2):
When the Yew tree told the second story. One part of it at the end when the Yew tree said it destroyed the house it caused Conor to act destructive and tell the Monster to destroy every single part of the house but when  Conor woke up from the dream he was in shock when he noticed that he destroyed his grandma's house.

Pg. 146(Story 3): In the 3rd story the yew tree was telling a story about Conor because it was a story about an invisible man that wasn't really invisible but when the yew tree said the invisible man asked for a monster the reader noticed that the monster was Conor because it said that the monster matched Conor's every step and voice.Because the monster told Conor the 3rd story it caused Conor to stand up against Harry causing Conor to beat him up sending him to the Hospital.

Write a 3-5 sentence summary on the 3rd tale.

The monster showed up at Conor's school right after Harry said to Conor I wont be seeing you again. On the Monsters third tale he was telling a story about a invisible man and how he made people see him. The Reader noticed that the Monster was actually Conor because it said that the monster matched his every movement so basically the story was about Conor because Conor made a way for people to see him by finally standing up for himself and Beating up Harry causing harry to go to the hospital and leaving him with a Broken Arm, Nose, and teeth. But by doing that Conor ended up making people fear him and made himself more unseeing than he already was.

Why do you think the grandma reacted the way that she did.

I think that Conor's grandma reacted that way because something probably happened at the hospital and after seeing her house getting demolished by Conor it made it worse and she was in grief and decided to release her grief by destroying the cabinet and crying in her room.

Write a 3-5 sentence summary on the section read aloud in class.

We found out that Conor gets bullied and that Lily was the reason why people know about his mom's Cancer. Every night at 12:07 Conor gets a visit by the Yew tree but one night the yew tree told Conor that he was going to tell him 3 stories and that Conor has to tell him in return about the truth that he hides. Later on in the story Conor's mother has gotten worse so she was sent to the hospital and because of that Conor has to live with his grandma and after he knew that he was hit with another surprise that his father was coming.

How is the monster going to help Conor? why do you think that?

I think the Monster is trying to help Conor face the fact that his mother is gonna die I think this because the monster said to him that he has to tell him the story of the truth he hides and I think the truth is his mother is going to die

How have conor's life experiences impacted him? How does that connect with some of his actions & interactions with others.

Because Lily told all of the people about Conor's mother's sickness. Conor acts mean to lily and he is isolating himself from others I know this because it said that he started not to raise his hand anymore.

What information did you find out during the exposition (characters, setting, conflict, etc.)?

What I found out was that Conor has recently been having the same nightmare over and over again and one night past noon a voice kept on calling Conor's name so Conor responded and the Monster revealed it self as a yew tree but to Conor's surprise he wasn't afraid of the Monster and he woke up right after the Monster ate him alive. So when he woke up the reader realized that Conor didn't like his grandma and that he had to take care of him self because his mom had Cancer.

From reading the back of the book "A Monster Calls" My prediction about the book is that the boy Conor keeps on having the same nightmare. Because of that the monster from his nightmare comes to life to seek the truth about something.
