46. Monster by Walter Dean Myers

Walter Dean Myers' Monster tells of a young men caught in a web of criminal activity. He is accused of being the look out in a robbery gone wrong. We are giving evidence that suggest that he might be guilty or not guilty but the author leaves the truth up I'm the air. Personally,I think he probably was guilty but there was just not enough evidence to convict him. A poignant moment happens when during the trial. Steve Harmon's lawyer says the most important thing they can do is try to make him appear different from the likes of the others on trial with him. Steve Harmon thinks about all the times he wanted to be just like them. Also after he is acquitted he tries to hug his attorney but she stiffens and he wonders if she sees him as a monster even though he was found not guilty.
