i find that the first tale of the witch and the prince was a really interesting and the way the monster turns the story around and making the prince the bad guy

# data[].attributes.body
it is interesting because it tells us the monster was with him and there at the moment but in reality, the monster was not there and it was Connor who beat up Harry, he also did not get punished by the principal

# data[].attributes.headline
 The chapter champ is interesting as it starts to show the idea of connor knowing his fate and his mum. He shows he wants to live with his dad and almost says it but stops midway through his sentence. He knows in the back of his head his mum is going to die

The chapter champ is about Connor and his Father. His father lives in America now, away from everyone else and he uses a lot of American slang which may seem friendly and kind but deep down there is a sense of isolation and neglect. Connor might feel like he isn't important and he is disconnected from his dad. It is really subtle but it is still there.

# data[].attributes.body
After the apothecary rejects the parson's offer to save his daughters in the second tale, a hole opens up in the ground and the father is holding his daughter but their hands slip and they fall. I like this scene because it ties in with Conor's nightmare where he loses his mother. This could be a theme of losing a loved one.

This chapter was interesting as the watercolour scenes were so realistic that it was as if we were in the movie. The story was very interesting and took a few turns and kept us readers hooked and wanting to read.

I found the Second Tale most interesting because the monster speaks of how belief is "half of the cure". I found this most interesting as it can translate into real life of how belief in something is only half, and there still remains other factors of life that will play out.

# data[].attributes.body
This particular chapter had me questioning if whether the monster was in Connor's imagination. When Connor went up to Harry and started to beat him, the monster was nowhere to be seen.

it shows us at the end of the tale that the monster and Connor were destroying the building of the parson, but then it switches the scene to show us that he was destroying his grandmas house, and whatever the monster shows him wasn't real which then links in to when Connor mentioned that the monsters stories are not real

# data[].attributes.body
the third tale is about Conor and Harry having a fight as the worst thing that harry could do is forget about conor. Conor already feeling invisible felt more forgotten which made him call the monster

# data[].attributes.body
The second tale
When we got to see the monster destroy the house and then when we saw Connor destroy his living room. I like this scene because I could see how angry Connor was and how much anger he had built up in him.

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 1 is where we first get introduced to the monster. It tells Conor that he wants the truth. Conor is stunned because he doesn't know what the monster is talking about and wants to know is the monster is referring to the nightmare.

# data[].attributes.body
After the second tale, Connor is destroying the Parson's home but it flashes back to real life where he is by himself in a room full of broken furniture. It makes you question the monster's existence but more importantly, Connor's grandmother walks into the room and sees everything, but instead of going crazy she doesn't say a word and destroys something herself. She doesn't say anything to Connor for a while which has an effect on the viewer and we know that she is at a level of anger where she is silent.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, i find the very first chapter of the whole book the most interesting. The first chapter is named "a monster calls", and basically sets the mood, and vibe for the rest of the story.  In this chapter, this is were the main characters, conner and the monster are introduced. This is were the transformation of the monster occurs, and the monster goes up to conner. Conner is really freaked, but believes it to be a dream at first. I think the specific chapter really hooks you in, and makes you want to continue reading.

In this chapter I loved the relationship that Connor and his dad has and is something I can easily relate because Patrick Ness changes the relationship Patrick Ness has with his father like in this Chapter we see the bonding they have and the movie lacks the bonding they have because the scene goes really fast but reading feels like this is long interaction they had and the jokes Connor makes is very relatable.

# data[].attributes.body
The first chapter is a chapter that I find interesting. The way that Conor and his nightmare are described helps interest the readers. The first chapter also gives us detail about Conor and his mother as well as telling us about the nightmare that Conor has every night.

-Christina

# data[].attributes.body
In this chapter, Conor remembers the time he had with his mother before they had the 'talk'. In that memory, his mother takes them to his favourite restaurant and lets him eat whatever he wants. On the drive, they were laughing a lot and Conor had a surprise trip to the movies. I like this scene because it describes the great relationship Conor has with his mother and the coverup for the 'talk' the next day.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the scene where the monster and Coner both attacked Harry at the same time and where their fists and movements were in sinc. I like this scene as you can see the emotions in both Conor and the monster as the monster turns red.
-Bahram

# data[].attributes.body
This chapter is interesting because the way the story is told makes have this imagination which makes you question the story and make you wonder why these things are happening. Not only that the description and suspense puts you on edge on your chair.

# data[].attributes.body
We saw the monster destroy the house, and then we saw Connor destroy his living room. Connor's behavior in this scene appealed to me, since I could see him breaking the other house and then switching to grandma's.

# data[].attributes.body
Connor joins as the monster starts to destroy the apothecaries house. He takes a stick from the monsters hand and smashes the windows, then the scene changes into him destroying his grandma's house and smashing the furniture. It is like he has emotions built up and wanted to let go but after he smashed the sitting room and saw his grandma he cried. It also shows that the what he does in the dreams or tales aren't real as he destroyed the sitting room not the apothecaries house.

# data[].attributes.body
the first tale is interesting when the monster changes up the story. It tells the same story but shows a dark truth about the prince.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It is featured in the story because Connor is being classified "invisible" by other people and everyone ignores his existence.

2. Because his situation means a lot to him and his fear of losing his mother is not being paid attention to and being made fun of because of it makes him feel sad because everyone is ignoring it.

3. Not really, as the scene makes him beat up a student and send him to the hospital because he is being considered invisible and being ignored by everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Example: The chapter 'American's don't get much holidays' resonates with me because it demonstrates the complexities of the mundane struggles. This is further conveyed by the delicate relationship with his father as Conor feels like he can truly be a kid, while also comprehending the impossibility of living with his father. The emotional struggle of the character escalates to his panic of breaking the clock. Patrick Ness ustilises descriptive language of the 'complaining mechanisms' to symbolise Conor's emotional struggle.

# data[].attributes.body
chapter 17 is all about conor destroying grandma's house without even knowing it due to the monster making him do so. this chapter gives a new insight of how the monster actually is, because it makes the monster look like an illusion conor is experiencing, rather than reality.

the descriptive language excellently develops an image in the reader mind of the house, without even mentioning the house in a single time.

# data[].attributes.body
When the apothecary denies helping the parsons daughter in this tale, a hole opens where the daughters can be seen falling, we've seen this happen with Connor and his mother, the fear of losing a loved one.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason one could say that the scene of this specific chapter was interesting was because of what was happening after what could be considered the end of "The Second Tale". The plot-twist is very notable as Connor believed that the Apothecary was the one that should've been punished for his actions, but he is taken extremely by surprise as a result of the Monster instead striking the house which the Parson lived. Connor is then given the chance to unleash his anger upon the house though what eventually comes to pass is him completely destroying a section of his Grandma's house.

# data[].attributes.body
Before the monster told the second tale to Conor, it stretches its branches and roots across the whole room almost overtaking the walls and furniture. It made the scene intense and interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of being invisible runs throughout the entire story. For example, after his mother's diagnosis, everyone treats Connor differently at school. They don't talk to him, they don't ask him questions and they leave him alone. This theme makes the story better because it is a source of Connor's anger because he wants to be treated normally and it always reminds him of his mother.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the first tale, in the movie to be the most interesting. This is because of the immense detail they went to, and how much of a plot twist it was. It really confused you, however in a good way. We find out the prince was the one who actually killed the wife, instead of the witch, and the witch never really killed the king, so there was never a need to kill the wife to "frame" the witch. I believe it tells us a-lot about fate, and how sometimes it weirdly works. Because in the end the witch was saved, and lives else were peacefully, even though she was a witch, and the king lived a good life, even being a murderer.

This scene was excellent we can see Connor mean side that he release all his anger on his Grandma house because how much he enjoys it and this is like one of the few scene that he is actually smiling and see the joy he is in but when the transition to the room when Connor is smashing it and we hear just silence is really shocking and I love the acting the grandma does when he smashes the glass to release his anger but she doesn't yell at Connor and this was the start of Connor being invisible.

# data[].attributes.body
the scene of the third tale is where it was featured

because he is not having a normal life as a kid but also as a helper for his mum and he really wants a normal life

no because this shows that he is not normal and he would be a angry kid

# data[].attributes.body
the theme of being invisible impacts conor throughout the movie and the book. Conor gets mad as he is treated like a nobody or invisible due to his mother's illness.

# data[].attributes.body
The featured theme of being invisible was used perfectly in many scenes. The scene where his grandma walked past him in the destroyed room without saying a word and when no one looks at him in a good manner. This shows his character as the "quiet kid". This then helps us understand why he has so much anger built inside of him. This theme is important for us readers to understand what kind of character Conor is and his experiences as being "Invisible". Personally, without this underlying theme of being invisible, the movie and book will have a lot less meaning. It would not show Conors personality and character as Connor would be seen as an ordinary boy with not as many problems.

# data[].attributes.body
When people grow up there are lots of things and events that help us mature, and in Connor's case, he has to deal with the idea of loss and the death of his mother. He has to be very independent as his mother gets unwell and he has to be strong too. This theme is vital to the story because it shows Connor's character development. Coming to terms with the reality of his mother's death as well as understanding grief and acceptance. Without this theme the story wouldn't be as powerful because Connor would be so naive and angry and dismissive throughout the story.

# data[].attributes.body
This theme occurs through out the story, it like once his mum got sick everyone at school left him alone, except for Harry and his friends. But once Harry stops annoying him and he is now invisible to Harry. Connor wants to be seen so he hurt's Harry and he gets attention for the wrong reasons. Not being seen and left alone also affects his childhood as it isn't normal. He sees everyone else playing and talking while he sits alone. If this theme wasn't included there wouldn't be seens where he wants attention and to be normal but he can't.

# data[].attributes.body
Conor feels that he is invisible to everyone around him. Even though he can be seen physically, he thinks he is invisible to everyone because people will not talk to him or even acknowledge him, and he keeps getting away with things that would usually be punishable. When Conor asks about why he won't be punished, the authority figure asks Conor and themselves what the point in punishment would be. King

# data[].attributes.body
1. The theme of Connor being "invisible" is very easily noticeable. This theme plays in many parts of the story, for example, when Harry approaches Connor for one last time and say's: "I no longer see you."

2. This theme is important as it clearly shows how Connor may feel in some way. That he is not only alone but he is also invisible. The threat that he may be alone in some way also appear in the movie throughout.

3. The movie would not be as powerful as the theme of him being "invisible" to everyone plays continuously throughout the movie, such as the chapter where Connor destory's a section of his grandma's house. His grandma in turn completely ignores.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed this chapter and found it interesting because of the use of suspense, and descriptive language Patrick Ness used when Conor's grandma saw what he had done to the room. He said in the book "And she screamed. She took away her hands, balling them into fists, opened her mouth wide and screamed." This describes the anger and pain she felt after she saw the room. I also really like the build-up of words Patrick Ness used to show the suspense.

# data[].attributes.body
The story displays the theme of being 'invisible' continuously, but this recurring theme is significantly present in the chapter 'Invisible', as the title suggests. This chapter includes how no one spoke to Conor, including Lily, and the only 'normal' thing was Harry and his 'cronies' walking towards him. However, later in the chapter, Harry, Sully and Anton leave him and he feels invisible to the rest of the world once again. This theme is important because Conor is having no connections with others his age and he wants to be 'normal' like the others. The story wouldn't have been as powerful if the theme wasn't included because, later in the book, Conor isn't able to control his emotions and lashes out at Harry, sending him to the hospital. This scene is crucial to the storyline.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Connor has these nightmares and is a 13-year-old boy, and he states that monsters are not real because he is not in the age group to believe in monsters

2. because later on after when the nightmare first appeared he starts to believe in the monster and the monster is influencing and forcing him to do things and release what he truly feels

3. no because the whole storyline would get ruined because the monster therefore wouldn't exist and the monster's influence on Connor

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of being invisible in the scene is excellent because how sad that when Harry is not bullying Connor , that was last normal scene because it shows Connor anger and how desperate Connor wants Harry to bully him and when Connor is in the worst stage the Monster raises and breaks the cafeteria while the monster is running but when we cut back to see just Connor attacking Harry which bring confusion which such good idea because us think if is this happening or not.

# data[].attributes.body
The scene where Conor comes back out of the second tale realising he had destroyed all of his grandmother vintage and antique items in the living room and when the grandmother comes home and sees all the destruction he had committed. This makes his grandmother break the last cabinet and then she leaves to her room without even speaking to Conor.  This makes the movie more interesting as it shows detail.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book and movie there is a theme of Story Telling. The monster tells stories to Connor to teach him things and help him. This theme is important to the story because it showcases the monster's ancient and wise abilities and the stories keep you wondering and thinking. The story definitely wouldn't be as powerful without the stories because the monster would just look like a destructive beast the ravages the land. The stories also impact Connor's character development and acceptance.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I know that this is a recurring motif as it is mentioned in majority of the chapters of the Novel.

2. This Motif is important as it represents a special time that is known for the monster appearing in the Character's life in the novel.

3. No, as stated in the 2nd point, this Motif is as important as can be. We are able to see that there is a special, recurring motif that appears more than once in the novel and is a staple to the movie and novel's story.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The theme being invisible is mostly shown throughout the third tale.

2. This theme is important because we got to see how little Connor gets attention and that impacts him because he is not able to live a normal childhood.

3. The story wouldn't be as powerful if the theme wasn't included because this theme shows that he has been completely ignored like Connor destroys his grandma's living room and she ignores it.

# data[].attributes.body
the 3rd tale is unlike the previous tales, as it talks about an invisible man that was tired of being seen while conor attempts to be "seen" by harry in the cafeteria.

what interesting about this scene is how conor and the monster seem to be together, like the monster is conor. then once conor fights harry, the whole mood completely changes into a incredibly intense scene.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme "invisible" comes up throughout the whole book, whether it be Conor feels like he doesn't get an attention when he's not being bullied or people notice him in general. This theme is important because it caused Conor to do actions that he wouldn't of done is he didn't feel so "invisible" and alone e.g- The third tale, where Conor punched Harry because he hated the thought of Harry no longer noticing him. The book wouldn't be as good if the theme "invisible" wasn't included.

# data[].attributes.body
This theme of growing up is in a lot of scenes to do with his mother. Conor has to grow up and care for her even while he is little. This is shown in chapter 13 (Champ) where his dad says he has to be brave for his mum. This theme shows how Conor is maturing at a very young age and it is hard for him. Without this theme, I think the scenes and chapters will not be as powerful in ways where Conor develops as a character and person.

# data[].attributes.body
When we tend to talk about growing, many people may think of growing up physically, in age. However, we can see throughout the book conner is growing up mentally, and developing as he goes. This is very essential as it shows us an example of character development, how someone can go from not accepting something, to finally accepting it, and moving on. This is very powerful, as it shows us how we can grow as people, and how we can move on. It also shows us that moving on, and growing up mentally is okay.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved this scene in the film because Harry, Conor's bully, spills Conor's drink onto him and instead of doing something worse to him afterwards, he just tells Conor that he is invisible. In the scene, you can see how much Conor hates being invisible so he attacks Conor and tells him over and over again "I'm not invisible". The one thing I find interesting most is that when Conor was full of rage so was the monster behind him and when Conor clenched his fist so did the monster at the exact same time, they also attacked at the exact same time. This could imply that the monster is Conor's emotions or even Conor himself.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of invisible features how everyone in the story ignores Conor and how he is basically "invisible" to others. This makes the theme important because it builds up as him being "invisible" has occurred throughout the whole story and it builds up tension and Conor's anger. Without this scene it wouldn't be as powerful because it adds more suspense and feeling into the story/movie.

The monster always seems to come at 12:07, whether a.m, p.m or not at all. When the Yew Tree first came walking, it came after the nightmare, the nightmare Conor always had; the terrifying one. The reoccurring motif of 12:07 is evidently shown in both the film, and the book. For example, when Conor is at school, the camera is panned to show both the monster and big, bold, red numbers showing '12:07' on a digital clock. This motif is crucial, as it indicates that the monster seems to be a reoccurring dread in Conor's life and a time which is familiar to the reader.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Connor thinks that the monsters stories are fake and are made up, but in reality it is making him do things and helping him release what he feels inside

2. it is important because it tells us that what Connor thinks is fake is making him do things, like the second tale made him break the kitchen when he thought he was breaking the parsons house

3. no because the whole point of the book is story telling and making Connor relate in some way to the stories, influencing the way he deals with things

# data[].attributes.body
This theme was found throughout the story. All through the story, he feels invisible, and unnoticed.
This theme is a really really strong theme, however, you may need to look at it in a deeper sense. Take for example when he was fighting harry. He was only fighting the bully because he was sick of being invisible, and sick of being unnoticed. Also, he began noticing he got no punishment at all, and he just wanted things to go back to normal. Hence he thought harry. This starts beginning to be relatable to some people, and children who just want to feel seen. This theme is very importent, as it gives the story depth, makes it more relatable, and more real. If someone who was losing there mother was there, there is a high chance they would of felt the same.
