  2. “Seeing my dad cry like that was just so terrible. What was going on between us, me being his son and him being my dad, is pushed down and something else is moving up in its place. It’s like a man looking down to see his son and seeing a monster instead.” Page 115-116. In the story Steve Harmon has been placed in jail until his trial is done. You can see that the conflict of the story doesn’t only effect the Steve, the prison inmate, but also effects his family as well. For the first time in Steve's life he saw his dad cry. Steve being in prison has a negative impact on his families life's. This is the probably one of Steve’s expression from his poor self-esteem.

  3. “I see what Miss O’Brien meant when she said part of her job was to make me look human in the eyes of the jury.” Page 62 Since Steve is on in trial for having relations in a murder the jury thinks that Steve is a monster. You can clearly see that Steve realizes that he is being seen as a monster and needs to be seen as human or civilized. This is an eye to symbolize how the jury will see Steve.

  4. “The man they called Sunset asked me if he could read the screenplay, and I let him. He liked it. Sunset said he liked the name of the screenplay. He said when he gets out, he will have the word Monster tattooed on his forehead. I feel like I already have it tattooed on mine.” Page 61 You can tell that prison has transformed Steve the narrator into a guy who once was a normal kid into a kid who has gone to prison. By going to prison Steve feels he has automatically received the title of “MONSTER”. This is why he said that he feel that the word monster has already been tattooed on his forehead. This shows a kid with the word monster written on his forehead so you can se how Steve feels. Monster

  5. “I asked her if that meant that she thought we were going to lose the case. She's said no, but I don’t believe her. I am so scared.” Page 201 This falls under characters and conflict because it shows Steve's, the main character, thought process half way though the case. It shows that Steve’s sensitive side to his case and his little confidence to his case. By having your fingers crossed behind you back that signifies that you are lying and that is how Steve feels about her.

  6. “In a way he was right , at least about me. I want to look like a good person. I want to feel like I’m a good person because I believe I am. But being in here with these guys makes it hard to think about yourself as being different.” Page 62 This is an example of how the setting can alter the characters motivation and self-esteem. The author uses words such as “believe”, “hard”, and “different” to say that he believes he is different from the rest, but just by being in prison clouds he self-esteem. The jail bars are suppose to reference Steve being in jail.

  7. This picture symbolizes how Steve would feel at night in jail. “When the lights went out, I think I herd someone crying, in the darkness.” Page 205 This is an example of how the setting effects the mood. The author uses words such as “darkness”, and “crying” to establish that something really bad is happening, but his voice doesn’t sound surprised like he is just use to it by know.

  8. “I hate this place. I hate this place. I cant writ it enough times to make it look the way I feel. I hate, hate, hate this place!!” Page 46 A nuclear explosion inspires hate just like how Steve hates jail. You can tell that Steve feels that he does not belong in jail, the setting by his writing. An example of this by his word usage of, “hate”, and how it is underlined. Since the story is in first person, Steve’s thoughts may influence the readers outlook on Steve. It makes Steve seem innocent.

  9. This could have been the consequences for getting in a fight. Steve “I can kick our narrow butt any day in the week” This is what the narrator says when threatened. This is how jail and growing up in the bad sections of town have transformed him. The narrator may say these things even though he might not mean these things.

  10. This is how Steve would probably look when he is crying at night. “The best time to cry is at night, when the lights are out and someone is being beaten up and screaming for help.” Page 1 This shows the authors sensitive side by him crying, but shows his twisted outlook of life. Him saying that ,someone is being beaten up, shows that he has maybe encountered a few challenges throughout his life.
