Summer Reading Project Entry #1

For my Summer Reading Project I am read Monster written by Walter Dean Meyers. The main character in Monster is Steve Harmon an 18 your old kid on trial for murder.  The two main places that this book takes place in is a courtroom and a Jail where Steve is held during his trial. The conflict in this novel is Steve trying to prove he is innocent. Also he is trying to cope with the idea that he might be in jail for the rest of his life. I have some predictions for the rest of the book. One of my predictions is I think Steve will be found guilty of the murder and will spend the rest of his life in jail. A connection I made with this book is to the show law & order and the episode where they found a kid guilty of murder and in this episode the kid was going through the same thing Steve is going through. I can make connections to music from 50 cent and some other hip hop artists that rap about murder and jail and how bad it is to be in those situations.
