How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"I thought it was a dream at first," Conor said […], "but then I kept finding leaves when I woke up and little trees growing out of the floor. I've been hiding them all so no one will find out." (13.26)
Do you believe these things were really happening, or was it all in Conor's imagination all along? Was there ever really a monster? And how can we know for sure? Okay, we'll cool it with the questions. We just really want to know!
Quote #8
The real monster […], the real nightmare monster, formed of cloud and ash and dark flames, but with real muscle, real strength, real red eyes that glared back at him and flashing teeth that would eat his mother alive. (28.42)
Giving a monster red eyes is one way of making it human-ish, but it's also just different enough to keep things super scary. Like Bunnicula.
