Monster 2

Steve Harmon is the main character of my book Monster he only wants to go home and live his life normally. He really only wants the one thing. He really wants this because he still is a child and lives with his parents and really has a better life at home, whereas some inmates have no shelter, food, or job outside of prison. Some of the themes that are starting to arise are the association of prisoners. Some of the things that Steve’s lawyer said really seemed to ring true during the hearing. For example at the beginning of the trial Steve looked over at some of the jurors and smiled, but instead of returning the smile they quickly looked away. They seemed to be scared or disgusted by him as if he wasn't human. That mindset is actually contradicting that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. The opposite seems to be true with this case. The way that the book is set up and structured is like a movie script. There are also some journal entries that have been written by Steve that have been included throughout the book. It also includes some camera angles and scene descriptions. It is written like this because Steve wants to turn his story into a movie that can be related to and set an example for people going through hard times.
