Entry 1

My book is Monster by: Walter Dean Myers. Major character is Steve Harmon. This is a 16 year old boy on trial for murder. The basic settings are in his cells, at the prison and the courthouse where he is going for his trial. This boy is charged of murder the prosecuter is pushing for the death penalty. This was the conflict that he would have to face the death penalty even though he might not have killed James.

Questions:

• Will he win this trial?
• Instead of getting the death penalty what else will he might get if not that?

My prediction for this book is that he will get to live his life but in his jail cell but when he is able to get out of jail he will try doing the right thing and try changing so he won't get back in prison. I also predict that he will learn a lot of life lessons by his "friends" in the prison. In most movies you have the bad guy trying to get out of prison and proving that he is innocent but most people won't give him a chance from maybe earlier actions. This is also like life and how most "bad teens" are like when growing up. They will make bad mistakes.
