https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4 My understanding of A Monster Calls. Looking closely at literary devices. en-us 2019-04-23 18:31:17 UTC 2019-05-06 14:29:31 UTC hello@padlet.com renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/353500892 I predict that the story is going to be about a kid that is being haunted/followed by monster. During the story kid has to overcome challenges by the monster. The monster will defeat the kid and then the kid will end up turning into the monster and then the monster turns back into the kid he used to be. ]]> 2019-04-23 18:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/353500892 renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/353502890 Conor has a reoccurring nightmare every night, were he faces a monster but he is not scared of it. He does not tell anyone about it. Everyday he gets ready by himself and cleans his downstairs because his mom is sick and always tired. Conor takes care of himself everyday.  ]]> 2019-04-23 18:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/353502890 renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/353880167 Conor had his first day of school and when he arrived three boys from his school bully him, and pushed him to the floor. This girl Lily stood up for him,but Conor didn't care. Conor started getting bullied when he got the monster nightmares started. That night Conor woke up at 12:07 to the monster,and the monster is going to tell him a story every night, but he has to tell someone about his nightmares he has been having. ]]> 2019-04-24 18:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/353880167 renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/354123689 Conor´s life experiences affect how he acts to his friends and the nightmares he has. He doesn't care about if he has friends and his rude to them. He doesn't want any because they treat him differently. It connects how doesn't tell the truth and doesn't tell anyone about how he gets bullied. He lets Lily take all the blame and then lied to the Principal. He also doesn't let anyone know about his nightmares but he isn't afraid of the monster. Since his father had left him when he was little and his mom was sick, he started taking care of him self and he became mature from those events. ]]> 2019-04-25 14:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/354123689 renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/354132547 The monster helps Conor when he tells his stories about the Kingdom.

This one connects by his grandma. In the second tale the parson preached against the apothecary and was only nice to him when he needed him to save his daughters. This connects with him by his mom. In the third tale Conor and the monster beat up Harry after the story of being invisible. This connects to Conor. ]]> 2019-04-30 14:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/355441111 renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/355935932 The movie did not meet my exceptions to the book because they book described the monster differently and I pictured him differently. I also thought Conor and the bullies were younger and the mom didn´t seem as sick as she did in the book.]]> 2019-05-01 18:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/355935932 renchrei000 https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/356356997  I would change the bully to make him a little younger because he looks too old to be picking on Conor, Conor looks way younger than the bully. I would also put Lily in the movie because she had a big role in the book but has nothing to do in the movie. She was the reason why he was so lonely and had no friends. ]]> 2019-05-02 18:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/renchrei000/4tinpb2z21f4/wish/356356997
