I want to look like a good person, I want to feel like a good person. I guess making you live is part of the punishment. They say you get used to being in jail, but I don’t know how. The best time to cry is at night when the lights are out and someone is being beaten up and screaming for help. I think this book could be used in the classroom by doing role plays and acting out the script so students can imagine what is happening and how the characters are feeling. They were my favorite part of the book because we could get more of a sense of what Steve is like. However, I did really like his diary entries. I felt as if this format did not allow us to completely connect with the main character Steve. I found myself getting confused who was who, or thinking what does VO mean again?(voice over). This format was a little challenging for me to read because of the numerous characters and ques. The book as written as if it is a movie script that Steve has created while he is behind bars. Monster is about a 16 year old boy named Steve Harmon who is on trial for murder.
