2. What is most significant about this theme?

3. What pieces of evidence can you find to prove that this theme is important?]]> 2023-06-07 01:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616494824 rmaharjan https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616521437 1. Truth is considered a theme because something is either true or false. Truth is everywhere in life, from knowledge and meaning to being true to ourselves. Explored in philosophy, morality, and art, it questions reality, perception, and beliefs. It's crucial in fields like science, journalism, and law, where discovering and sharing truth is vital. Yet, truth is often subjective, shaped by biases and norms. It makes us confront biases, be honest, and seek clarity. Embracing truth encourages critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the world.

It represents negative emotions , impulses or desires these can include the seven deadly sins. Pride greed lust envy gluttony wrath and sloth. 

Inner Monster- 
Patrick Nes continues to drop hints, for example the leaves left behind after a visit from the monster or the berries left behind. This causes the reader to question whether the monster is real or not. THIS CAUSES US TO THINK IT IS A REAL MONSTER

Physical Monster- 
The monster continues to shine in the story when Conor thinks negative thoughts, for example when he showed Wrath towards his dad the monster appeared. This make sus think that the onster depcited is an inner monster.

2: The way his bullies treat him in the chapter "Invisible" and how he feels because of how everyone avoids him including Lily after he pushed her away

3: The chapter "Invisible", conveys how his mum having cancer can make him feel invisible, and in the movie, Harry straight up says to Connor "I no longer see you, O'Malley. you are invisible to me and everyone in this school."

The most vital and interesting component of the book; A Monster Calls, is none other than the debate over whether or not the personification of the monstrous Yew tree is real or just an image in Conor's mind. It is considered a theme due to its presence throughout the book, in-fact the novel literally goes by the name of "A Monster Calls.' The readers are trying to figure out whether or not the monster is a real beast trying to help Conor or just a voice in his head narrating the mental troubles and the nightmares effects on Conor as a person.]]> 2023-06-07 02:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616530216 https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616531012 This theme is significant because it symbolises the monster and it seems to be a all curing tree which should be important later on as the mother is sick and the tree cures everything]]> 2023-06-07 02:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616531012 thomasalkuhaily https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616531939 2023-06-07 02:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616531939 https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616532862 2023-06-07 02:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616532862 https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616534127 in the first chapter the tree has evidence where it blows leaves into the forest and in the second tale the monster says that the tree can cure everything]]> 2023-06-07 02:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2616534127 thomasalkuhaily https://padlet.com/joseph_borg001/8mqmk1rdgu5q5e5n/wish/2622879821 By Thomas
