Monster

In class, i was reading a book called Monster. This book was about a teen found guilty of robbery and murder. This boys name is Steve Harmon. I find this book interesting because it is written like a script. He is in trial and the lawyer from the other side calls him a "monster". This part of the book is important because when she said that, he is struck and feels awful. When he gets to the prison he asks to keep one thing; his notebook. With his notebook he writes about his experience in the prison. When night comes in the prison, he cries because no one can here you because of the sounds of others getting beat up. I did not get very far in the book but I could tell the kind of person Steve is. He made one mistake and regrets it deeply. This book also shows that even if a person who commits some if the worst crimes, they are still a human and they all have a soft side ( well maybe not the psychos ). Steve has always had a passion for writing ays and in prison he has much time to write. Although he can do what he loves, prison is still a he'll. If someone say him writing in a journal, he would get beat up a whole bunch. Steve is a kind of versus guy toward strangers so he tends to keep to himself in prison. Of course he does other things in prison but he usually does them alone. But still, I have. Ot got very far in the book so I am basing this off of what I have read. I look forward reading this book some more.

We are currently reading a book called the outsiders. This book takes place in about the 1950s-1960s. It is about the life of gangsters. In the book, there are two different groups. There are the greasers and there are the socs. It is a classic rivalry of class. The book describes the greasers as more tough and hard life kids in rough neighborhoods that have to grow up fast and be tough, on the outside at least. The socs have easier lifes but still not too easy. They have there hard times but they also have good parents and a good education. The socs like to pick on the greasers when they are in a good situation. Mostly when the greasers are alone. The greasers are aware of this fact so they try to walk in packs. The person telling the story is pony boy. He is a greaser he has an older brother and a younger brother. His older brother is Darry. He is tough on the outside but he has feeling for his brothers. Their parents died so he has to look after them. Pony boy has another brother named soda. He is crazy and need work but he is like pony boys closet friend to his heart.
