Summer Reading Assignment Blog #1


The book i'm reading is called Monster, as said on the paper it is from the Printz Award Winner list. The book is about a boy named Steve Harmon and is falsely accused murder and he is only 16 years old. The book has a very interesting style of writing everything is written as a movie script. It’s written like the camera zooms in on Timmy's face as he says goodbye to his best friend, the camera follows Timmy's best friend. The major characters in this book are the main character Steve Harmon, Sandra Petrocelli as the Dedicated Prosecutor, Kathy O'Brien as the defense Attorney, James King as the thug, Richard "Bobo" Evans as the rat, Osvaldo Cruz as the tough guy wannabe, Lorelle Henry as the whitness, and Jose Delgado he found the body. As I said before the book is written as a movie script so this is infront of the book like how it would be on a real movie script. The setting of this book right now is a courtroom but my predicton is that the setting will be a prison to. There are many conflicts happening because right now the book is taking place in a courtroom so the main conflict is who is quilty Steve Harmon or James king. My predictions are that Steve Harmon will go to Prison. Some questions I have are how did this start? What happend before Steve was arrested? And what did he do exactly to get caught? I can’t really find any connection to movies, and shows because I never really watched any shows or movies like this book. Im going to read a chunk more to and then do the next Blog.
