Monster by Walter Dean Myers
You be the judge. Is Steve a monster or guilty of
hanging out with the wrong friends? Hes a good student, a loving son
and brother. Bur a man is dead because of what he and his three friends
did.
Is Steve a monster? You decide!
Kathy Gilbreath, Bainbridge Island School District
My name is Steve Harmon. Im 16 years old and Im
in jail: on trial for murder. Some people think Im a monster. But I say
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Im not guilty.
Sometimes I feel like Ive walked into the
middle of a movie. Maybe I can make my own movie. The film will be the
story of my life. No, not my life, but of this experience. Ill call it
what the lady prosecutor called me MONSTER.
