I choose the book "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers because it looked interesting to me because he was making a movie of his life so I felt that I could understand it better. I also liked this book because it was based on a true story and I think that that is cool but yet sad. I saw a connection between me and the novel because it was about a teenager who made one bad decision and his whole life turned upside down. That connects to me because one day someone could talk me into making that decision and ending up in his situation.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever thought about stealing or killing or committing any crime. This is because it shows them how much stress and anxiety the situation could cause. They would most likely be scared too because they could get harmed doing the crime. This book should show my classmates how you can change your life and career by one action. I liked this book very well because it teaches you a life lesson and it isn't hard to understand or decode the story. It is very straight up and very interesting.

“They take away your shoelaces and your belt so you can’t kill yourself
no matter how bad it is. I guess making you live is part of the
punishment.”
This quote is a hooking quote because it makes you wonder what happened and what the character is talking about. This quote is saying how being in jail is not a fun time because they make you give anything that could harm you to them so that you suffer. This quote is interesting because it is not very expected and it makes you second guess what the book could be about.
This quote is good because it wraps the book up into two sentences because it makes you realize some things aren't worth going to jail. It also makes you realize that jail is a horrible place because they make sure you cannot kill yourself. In jail they want you to suffer and change your behavior and some people in jail fight and kill people sometimes. So some people don't change. This quote is very effective at hooking readers because it makes you wonder.
