Summer reading project: entry two: Monster by Austin Sewell

In my summer reading book Monster by Walter Dean Myers there were many things that some characters really wanted or desired through out the whole book. The main character Steve Harmon really wanted to be free and innocent for the crimes that he was being comminuted for. Also James King was also a young black man who was a little older than Steve Harmon who convinced Steve to be a part of his crew which will rob the drug store. James really wanted to rob that drug store but now really wants to be innocent which will likely not happen. Also Richard Evans who was the guy who was accused of being in the store at the time of the murder. He was the guy that stole the money from the cash register. He really wants to be innocent but that will also likely not happen. Some themes that are beginning to appear in this book is everyone involved in the crime just want to be innocent and free and want all of this to go away. The way that this book is structured is it has really short pages so that you can read through the book faster and you feel like you are reading a lot more. Also this book is structured to have a really interesting beginning that make the reader more hooked to the book earlier and really keeps the reader engaged in the story from the start.

Summer reading project: entry one: Monster by Austin Sewell

The book that I choose to read was Monster by Walter Dean Myers. Some of the major characters in this book were Steve Harmon who is the main character in the book. Steve is sixteen years old and a black man who was arrested for acting as the look out in a robbery that goes bad. Other main characters are Kathy O'Brien who is Steve's defensive attorney. Another main character was Sandra Petrocelli who was the assistant district attorney. Other main characters in Monster are James King, Richard Evans, and Osvaldo Cruz. The setting in Monster is the book takes place in Manhattan and Harlem, New York City. The main conflict in this book is a sixteen year black boy named Steve Harmon finds himself on trial for murder after being accused of being a lookout for the guys that actually rob the Harlem drug store and kill the store owner. This book is a really good book so far I predict that Steve will get away with this. I really enjoy reading this book because it is really good and it is really similar to a lot of movies and TV shows that I see out there. I also really like how the pages are a lot shorter so I don't get overwhelmed with a lot of words. I really look forward to finishing up this book and getting into the ending of it to see how it finishes up.
