Monster Steve Research Paper

Nesbitt because he was not in the store when Mr. Nesbitt was killed according to Mrs. Henry. In fact, Mrs. Petrocelli asks Mrs. Henry on the stand, “Mrs. Henry, do you recognize anyone present today in this courtroom who was also in the drugstore on the day to which you are referring.” Mrs. Henry replied, “The gentleman sitting at that table was one of the men arguing.(she points to King)”(Myers 164). The evidence in this part of the book proves that Steve left the store even if he was the lookout he was not there at the time of the murder. Therefore, Steve cannot be guilty of murder if he was not at the store when Mr. Nesbitt was

If you read page 245, O’brien’s closing statement reads, “The State did elicit from Steve that he spoke to Mr.King about basketball. The conversation were short, and without substance. At no time did the State establish any conversation between Steve and anyone else about a robbery.”. Even though Steve has had small talk with James, there is no proof that they’ve talked about planning the robbery. On page 51, there’s a flashback between a woman named Peaches, a man named Johnny, King, and Steve. King did mention the difficulties of getting money and the only thing Steve did was agree to just that. Nothing more, nothing less. Then, Peaches, Johnny, and King spoke about is money.

1. Monster is a novel written in a screenplay format with Steve’s journal entries mixed in throughout. Do you think this is an effective format for the book? Why or why not?

First, Steve Harmon is not guilty of felony murder because he was scouting locations for school film project. Mr. Sawicki, Steve's film club teacher states, “It is my belief that to make an honest film, one has to be an honest person. I would say that. And I do believe in Steve's honesty." he says this after Steve says, "I don't know exactly where I was when the robbery took place. Most of the day I was going around taking mental notes about places I want to film for a school film project. The evidence shows that on the day of the robbery, Steve was believed to be scouting places for a film assignment. Mr. Sawicki, his film teacher believes Steve is honest. As a result of the evidence Steve Harmon is not guilty because he was scouting locations for a school film project while the crime was taking place. Steve Harmon is not guilty of felony murder

One reason I believe that Steve is guilty is because of his journal. In Steve’s journal he says, “Anybody can walk into a drugstore and look around.”(115) This proves that Steve was helping to be a lookout in the crime, which means he was an accomplice, and that he was in the drugstore when the crime happened. “It was me, I thought as I tried not to throw up, that had wanted to be tough like them.” Steve also writes in his journal (130). Steve is writing that he wanted to be tough like King and his friends. This proves that he wants to be like King, which might have influenced him to help with the crime. Steve also writes in his journal, “I knew she felt that I didn’t do anything wrong. It was me who wasn’t sure.” (148). Steve wrote this after talking with his mother. Steve is doubting his own innocence, if he is doubting his innocence, then is he really innocent?

Nesbitt and has admitted to participating in the crime, he didn’t know if Steve participated in the robbery. On page 182 and 192 in a testimony between Bobo and Petrocelli Bobo said “ He was supposed to tell us if there was anybody in the store. He didn’t say anything so we figured it was all right I thought King had hooked it up. He told me he had everything straight.” Bobo Evans said that he didn’t think that they had received a signal because Steve didn’t say anything to them. Since Bobo said King had it covered he didn’t know everything about the robbery including Steve’s

In the Monster by Walter Dean Myers, the character Steve Harmon finds himself easily excepting of the label of a monster which was presented by Sandra Petrocelli "But there are also monsters in our community- people who are willing to steal and to kill, people who disregard the rights of others". Steve doesn't view himself as an active participant in the robbery which leads to the death of the store owner Alguinaldo Nesbitt and because of this he has not completely excepted the label of a monster, looking at Petrocelli point of view of what makes a monster showed Steve that regardless if he plays a minor role or are larger role, he still took part in the crime which leads to death of Mr. Nesbitt, a crime which showed no regard for the rights of others and willingness to steal and kill. Being a person of morals Steve should have seen that they were about to steal from an innocent person without consideration for the victim, even though murder may not have been apart of the plan it is still an act which victimizes someone and in some ways place people in danger. Secondly, Steve faces probably the most challenging of all, Steve realizes that his father now views him as a monster and not as his son. Mr. Harmon showed his disappointment when he shares with Steve what he dreamt of for his son "When you were first born, I would lie up in bed thinking about scenes of your life. You playing football. You going off to college. I used to think of you going to Morehouse and doing the same things I did when I was there. I never made the football team, but I thought—I dreamed you would. I never thought of seeing you in a place like this. It just never came to me that you'd ever be in any kind of trouble." This

Steve never gave a signal prior to the robbery. There is no evidence on the store’s camera displaying him give any signals. At the trial, Bobo says “He didn’t say nothing, so we figured it was

Nesbitt was murdered in the process. When Steve overhears two ladies in the street talking about the crime, Myers states, “Steve makes his way through the crowd. He does not have the basketball. He is walking, then trots as the camera pulls back. He is running as camera looks from high angle, and we can no longer distinguish Steve.”

When we were kids we were told of many imaginary monsters, but as you grow up we learn what the real monsters are. A monster is defined as a badly behaved or cruel person, something that is absurdly large, or a fictional and frightening creature. The monsters that we know of today are nothing like the ones when we were little kids. When you realize things like the monster under your bed isn’t real is when you come to know that society is the real monster. Jennifer Lynn Barnes gives us insight on who the monsters really are when she tells us that, "They told him he was killing monsters, and then they made him kill people. He thought it was just me who was different, and he didn't go through with killing me. He

Steve Harmon is guilty for all these reasons. Steve said that he was working on a film project for his film class. Although there was proof of the project being assigned Steve could have lied to the court, what if he was part of the murder but he did everything after he had filmed his project. Also, what about the other culprits who were also involved with the murder. They could have been lying, they could have just brought him into this situation just to get him into trouble as-well. “I don’t even remember where I was.” (232) Says Steven Harmon. If he did not remember where he was, then why

The study I chose was the Monster Study, it was a study that took place at the University of Iowa in 1939 by two female researchers named Wendell Johnson and Mary Tudor. They conducted an experiment on stuttering. This experiment was done on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa. The children were separated into two groups, the first group received positive speech therapy where the children were praised for how good their speech was. In the second group the children were taught bad speech therapy and the children were belittled for every time they did not speak the right way. At the end of the experiment the normal-speaking children from group two that was belittled developed negative psychological effects, and

Monster is a book about the court case of Steve Harmon, a teenager on trial for felony murder. The story is told from two unique perspectives. This style of writing helps the reader understand Steve’s thoughts and his character more than they would if it was written normally. The flashbacks and diary entries in Monster affect my view of Steve by helping me understand the way he thinks and feels about certain aspects of the trial. It builds sympathy because I can understand where he’s coming from if I know what he’s thinking.
