Entry 2- Monster SRA

In the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers, there are many different complexities about the different characters. To understand them you have to know that this book was written by the main character. This means that everything that I know about everyone except Stephen, the main character, is extremely one sided and may not be one hundred percent accurate. In the beginning of the book, Stephen says," I'm writing this whole thing down as a movie"(Myers 161/2489). Another character that plays a big role in the story is O'Brian. O'Brian is one of Stephens friends who gives advice in the beginning of the book. I predict that O'Brian and Stephens relationship will not last long because Stephen is going to court and he will either get out or be moved to a different facility. The theme of the book so far is that bad things happen to good people because I don't think that Stephen did what he is being accused of. I think that Stephen is innocent because he is very scared and doesn't seem like the kind of person that would steal. Although Stephen was the one that wrote the book so I'm not completely sure if he did it or not. This is a picture of Walter Dean Myers.
