Summer Reading Part #4

I chose this novel because it was written by Walter Dean Myers. I have read many books written by him and I have enjoyed every single one of them, I might even be obsessed with his books.What drew my attention to this novel was it was written by my favorite author Walter Dean Myers and I haven't read this book by him yet. I haven't  had mush personal connections with this book other than at the end of the novel Steve's parents split up after he was plead innocent, and my parents split up so i made a connection there. I would recommend this book to people who are going through a tough time in there life like parents splitting up or losing someone because Steve teaches you how to over come tough obsticals and move on with your life and not staying in the dark place you are or were in. This is probably my favorite book that teaches life lessons you will use the rest of your life.

Summer Reading Post #3

"The best time to cry is at night, when the lights are out and someone is being beaten up and screaming for help. That way even if you sniffle a little they wont hear you (Myers 1)." This is the very beginning of the novel Monster. This is very hooking because you the reader is wondering why the narrator is saying the best time to cry is at night and therefore i think the reader will get hooked by this quote.
