Steve Harmon wants to be found innocent of murder and be released from jail, and also Sandra Petrocelli wants the same result along with Steve's family and friends. Kathy O'Brien wants Steve to stay in jail and I think they jury will keep Steve in jail because they do not have proof that he did or did not commit the crime I think that the jury already thinks that he committed the crime because he is in jail currently and Mrs. Petrocelli wants Steve to be innocent until proven guilty..
One theme that is starting to appear is you can never trust people like you think you can. This is because one of Steve's gang members ratted on him in the court room. Also one of Steve's friends called the cops on him one night and got him into trouble for something that Steve claims he did not do.
My book is written as a movie script. This is nice because you can understand who is talking easier but also it doesn't have as much flow as a regular structured book has. This is also a good thing because you can have an image in your head while you read the story, almost like you are in the movie.
I like my book "Monster" so far and hope that Steve gets found innocent.

2014-2015 Summer Project Post 1.
The book I am reading this summer is called "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers. This book was written as a movie script. I like this because it helps you understand who is talking more clearly. Some of the characters in this book "Monster" include Steve Harmon, Sandra Petrocelli, Kathy O'Brien, James King. The main character is Steve Harmon who is a 16 year old buy who is on trial for murder.
The setting of this book is present day. This book's setting is in the courtroom, and the jail. The conflict in this story is teenagers were charged with robbery and sent to jail, and Steve Harmon was included in this robbery. The judge put Steve on trial for murder because during the robbery the teenagers killed the store clerk,or did they?
I believe that Steve will be proven innocent because they do not have proof that it was him who killed the store clerk. I also think that Steve will be released from jail and will turn his life around because of what he saw in jail and his experience so he will become a good citizen. You can connect this to the real world because not every person on the Earth will follow the rules but they can find themselves in the same situation. After the problem is solved I hope that they realize that they did not do the right thing and try to make up for it and become well behaved and proper citizens.
I hope in this book Steve is found innocent and turns his life around.
