The novel Monster, by Dean Myers is about a 16 year old, African American on trial for a felony murder from a robbery. Steve is VERY scared, him just writing in his journal isn't working, so he begins making his experience/trial into a movie.The novel begins with opening statements and other courtroom stuff, none of which is interesting, but things start to get very interesting shortly after when witnesses start taking the stand.The witnesses in the trial come from many different parts. There's Richard "Bobo" Evans, the thug who claims Steve was a lookout at the crime, James King, another bad guy on trial, Osvaldo Cruz, the poser, Mr. Sawicki, Steve's favorite teacher, Dorothy Moore, James King's cousin, and even Steve himself.

There are many ways authors write their books that can vary from style, experience, setting, and language. One author that I would like to talk about is Walter Dean Myers and the book that I would want to analyze would be Somewhere In the Darkness. This novel speaks about a poor little boy who was adopted at the age of two after his mother died and had to move to Harlem leaving his family behind . He also had a speech impediment and couldn’t speak or write as well as others but that didn't stop him. The book “Somewhere In The Darkness” is about a boy named Jimmy who was adopted by a very kind-hearted lady after his mother had passed away and his father went into prison. In the book his father is finally released and gave a surprise to Jimmy and takes him to Arkansas to settle down but Jimmy does not trust him. Walter Dean Myers usually writes his books from his own experiences which makes them inspirational, thought out, down to earth, and somewhere relatable to the reader!

Reality sometimes appears like it is a fulfillment of a dream. In Monster by Dean Myers, various characters portray the theme of Dream and reality. The story demonstrates what is like to be in a courtroom, jail and various struggles one family faces due to the action of judicial system. Dean Myers demonstrates more realistic picture of what it means to be in jail. Sometimes to be behind bars it is to be far from being in a state of freedom.

How does one know if they can trust themself—that what they believe to be the truth is really true?

This summer, I read the book The Dead by Charlie Higson is a novel about a large group of kids, left to live by themselves without guidance from their parents. In this run-down setting of London, England, people who are over the age of 16 turn into kid hunting, flesh-eating zombies. The younger kids are forced to live on their own, fighting for life against the wrath of the Adults. The message Higson showed in his book is: after people are forced to rely on themselves without experience, their lack of experience and knowledge will lead them to failure.

I went Into Elie Wiesel 's Night having read the book in various stages in my life. It seems to follow me through my schooling years. In junior high I read it in standard English class, just like any other book I would have read that year. In high school I read it for a project I was creating on World War II, looking at it from a more historical approach. Being a firsthand account of concentration camps made it a reliable source of historical information. But during previous times when I was reading, I never thought to take a look at it from a theological point of view. Doing so this time really opened my eyes to things and themes I hadn 't noticed during previous readings.

Predicting events in House of the Scorpion is quite an interesting affair. The protagonist, "Matt," has a perspective that is almost identical to that of myself as a reader of the story. As Matt unravels the mystery as to what he is and what his purpose is, his thoughts begin to match my own. As questions arise as to the history of the slaves, the opium farm, or the Alcrán family it seems that Matt often seems just as curious as myself if not more so. As a result of this many of my questions and assumptions are also stated within the text. Is Matt truly like all the other clones? El Patron puts in a lot of effort to educate, care for, and provide Matt with a proper life yet at the same time none of it seems quite right. A man who has quite

It was useless, though, because he would rip them off and open the door as if they weren’t even on it. We then tried to just sleep through it, but that was the worst idea ever. When the monster came in he screamed and screamed but we refused wake up. He began to pace and finally he couldn’t hold back and he lost his temper; he picked me up with his mighty strength and threw me at the wall Instead of hitting the wall, I went through it. I was very scared but after a couple of seconds I became braver as the monster came in after me. I realized, then, that we were in the monster’s lair. He ran around like he had in my room and didn’t even look at me and acted like I wasn’t even there. After a while he acknowledged me and began screaming in my face. There was a sharp ring in his house that made my ears hurt and made me want to leave. It didn't stop and I didn't know what to do, I didn’t want to move, but I was still very angry. He then began to speak, “You better listen to me, from now on get up when I call. The next time you don’t I’ll bring you back here and you’ll never be going home.” He said with a raspy and hoarse voice. I was scared but I knew I could defeat him. I also knew that if I didn't I would be in a terrible place for the rest of my life. He slammed me against the wall again and I was back into my room. The ringing was gone and I enjoyed the quietness of my room, that day I told my brother that we needed to defeat him that
