So far "Monster" by Walter Dean Myers focuses on Steve, an aspiring filmmaker, who is writing about his experience and involvement in a current case involving robbery and murder. The book is written in a screenplay format like a movie script, which I find to be extremely unique and cool. Steve's trial involves 4 men, 3 black, 1 Hispanic. Two of these men have entered a deal by pleading guilty. The overall feeling in the courtroom is a malignant one, demonizing the others waiting on trial. The Judge called the remaining men "monsters."
