Monster is about a black young man on trial. This book is very interesting because of how it is written .The book is written like as if it was a movie. Its sometimes hard to read but its different. Ive never read something like this before but im starting to like it. The story line is very interesting because you see a lot of differentes stories during the testimony which could change your idea on Steve. It also shows me a lot about what happens during a trial and in prison.
The first part of the book starts off with Steve in his cell alone in the dark. He hears noises but he doesn’t know what it is. He talks about how he hates this place and how he wants to leave but he cant because in the society's eyes, he is guilty even if they haven't proved it yet.
Steve is in the courtroom and he is talking to his lawyer and doesn’t feel like he's going to win. The lawyer said that he had to believe in himself so they can believe him. While they're in the courtroom, all the lawyers are introducing themselves and who they are representing. The jury is introduced and the testimony is starting.
While they question people Steve is writing in his book as if it’s a screenplay. The lawyers gets mad and tells him to pay attention or he may lose the trial. If Steve loses, he will go to jail for life or go on death row. This is a big trial for Steve so his lawyer is trying to prove to the jury that Steve is innocent of the murder charge.
