By that, he means his sick mother.]]> 2019-02-05 14:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327796095 "It's not what I want from you, Conor O'Malley. It is what you want from me." tbriggs19 https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327815380 This quote suggests that the tree monster has come to help Conor. We later learn that he has come to help Conor face the truth and to him heal.]]> 2019-02-05 15:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327815380 "There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between." tbriggs19 https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327827700 This quote is relating to the first story that the tree monster tells Conor. The moral of the story is that most people are somewhere in between good and bad.]]> 2019-02-05 15:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327827700 "It is not her you need saving from." tbriggs19 https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327829180 'Her' is referring to Conor's grandma. The tree monster tells Conor that he shouldn't be worried about his grandma but should be worried about something else. I infer that he is suggesting that Conor needs to be saved from his truth.]]> 2019-02-05 15:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327829180 "You're going to need to be brave for her, Con.

He just wants to be treated and punished like a normal kid.]]> 2019-02-05 15:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327845365 "I wish I had a hundred years. A hundred years I could give to you." tbriggs19 https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327848714 Conor's mother feels terrible that he has to watch his own mother slowly die. What she means by this quote is that she wishes she could give him back the time that she has been sick and be involved more in his life.]]> 2019-02-05 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tbriggs19/ltg8936l42vt/wish/327848714 "I can't stand knowing that she'll go!
