The monster is scary and comes out at night. The boy has to overcome the monster]]> 2019-04-25 17:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204094 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204230 Conner is 13 and lives with his mom. He has his own room and he has the same nightmare very often. He recently heard the monster when he wasn't asleep and was very suspicious when he saw the yew tree leaves all over his room in the morning. ]]> 2019-04-25 17:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204230 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204339 Conner gets bullied at school and a girl named lily tried to help him. The monster comes every night around midnight, he started to tell Conner the first story out of three. Conner's grandma is staying with him and his mom for a while and he does not like her.]]> 2019-04-25 17:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204339 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204590 Conner's life experiences impacted him by knowing what to do. An example of this is when he was arguing with Harry at school and he started bleeding. He then told the teacher he had only fell because Harry would get mad if he told on him. Also when the monster was telling the story Conner did not understand what the point of it was and why he was telling him it. Another example is when Conner's grandma came to stay with him and his mom for a while. Although he did not like his grandma he knew that he would have to try to be nice to her and help her even though she was annoying.]]> 2019-04-25 17:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204590 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204862 My prediction is that the monster will help Conner by telling him life lessons through his three stories. In the first story it talked about how you should be nice to others and Conner had figured that out himself. In later stories he tells him Conner will realize what the monster is telling him through them. ]]> 2019-04-25 17:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354204862 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354495213 I think the grandma acted the way she did because since everything was destroyed besides the display cabinet she just broke it. She broke it because there was no point to keep one antique thing when everything else in the room was destroyed.]]> 2019-04-26 15:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/354495213 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/355138607 Unlike the other tales, in the third tale it goes to Conner's real life situations at school. There he sees Harry and the monster knows what happened with both of them. So the monster and Conner go to Harry and start beating him. Conner gets all the blame since no one else knows about the monster.]]> 2019-04-29 17:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/355138607 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/355469627 In the first tale it embodies Conner's experiences by teaching him to be nice to people like the monster was to the queen. In the second tale he learns that you shouldn't only talk to someone when you are in need, like the Parson when his daughters were very sick. In the third it was Conner's real life situations at school with Harry. In this one he got blamed for Harry being beaten by the monster which no one could see. Miss Kwan justified if He should be punished because she understood what was happening with him. ]]> 2019-04-30 14:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/355469627 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/355897476 It is not meeting the expectations because they are leaving out to many details and events. For example his mom an dhow in the book she was super sick and in the movie she looked normal and still had hair. Also how when Conner was getting bullied at school in the book Lily was there to stand up for him and talk with him and in the movie Lily is not involved at all in the school.]]> 2019-05-01 17:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/355897476 radekspe000 https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/356329861 I would revise the dad character. I would revise him because he did not fit the position very well. Also he did not connect with Conner. What I would change about him is that I would make him older so he would be more wise to help and connect with Conner more. Also it would have made it better when he came back to England and saw his ex wife really sick, because they would have known each other longer, so it they would connect better.]]> 2019-05-02 17:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/radekspe000/75aiihdl6rhj/wish/356329861
