Literary Jenga - 7th Period by Kelley Weigand https://padlet.com/kelley_weigand1/653v59ljk9e3 en-us 2017-10-26 14:22:14 UTC 2017-11-05 21:33:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Binay https://padlet.com/kelley_weigand1/653v59ljk9e3/wish/201022974  
I love the way symbolism in the tales came into play, like in the tale about the witch and the prince where the witch was portrayed as evil and unredeemable like Connor sees the Grandma, even though they weren't in the wrong in that situation, and were more morally grey characters.   
I love your answer. I especially love the idea of characters being "morally grey." However, I'm not understanding why there is only one period. The word "like" needs to be replaced with "for example."

Also when his father finally does show up Coner thinks his dad will save him and take him with him to the united states  but it's just a visit because there isn't enough room in his heart or in his apartment.Plus he left back to the united states back to his other family.
You spelled Connor's name wrong.  Dad's is possessive.   Why is the United States not capitalized?  I do like your explanation.]]> 2017-10-26 20:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kelley_weigand1/653v59ljk9e3/wish/201023004 Eva Gallegos https://padlet.com/kelley_weigand1/653v59ljk9e3/wish/201023010  connection I have with the book is my grandpa also had cancer.

One setting in the story is at his grandmother's house because his mum had to be transported to the hospital so he is with his grandmother.

The most important thing about the book that I learned is that sometimes the truth hurts but you just have to accept it.
That's definitely a hard lesson to learn. Could you have explained a little more?

One important event in the story comes towards the end of the book, while Connor is upset he visits the Yew tree and finds his truth.

 If I could pick a song I would chose “How To Save A Life” by The Fray because, the song shows what it feels like to lose somebody close to you. 
I think you mean "choose." Why is there a "because , " Explain how this song applies to Connor?

Sucker for pain by Ty dolla $ign,Wiz Khalifa,Logic,Lil Wayne,and Imagine Dragons, because the song talks about wanting pain just like Conor did from Harry.

Cancer (going far in my family)

Secrets of mine somehow everyone knows after telling those I called "friends"

Moving (Feeling invisible) (I'm not a military family FYI) I don't know people when I move and i feel invisible

True. This is a very limited response. You could have included the name of the book as well as the name of the author.

This conflict is internal conflict (man vs himself) because Conor is hiding from himself and the truth. Man vs society is also apart of this story because of the conficts of school due to Harry.

Using the accent and language within the book, I infer that the setting is Brittain. However, that’s only the broad version. In some scenes, Conor is located in his house, his grandma’s house, and his school. Some mental scenes are his nightmare, and the Parson’s house. In the Parson’s house, he unleashes all the rage he is feeling inside, and in his nightmare, he accepts his truth.
Lovely answer, Mohmed.  Lovely use of punctuation.
