The main character in the book Monster by author Walter Dean Myers
is Steve Harmon. Steve being a normal individual, wants a lot of things but,
the question is will he get what he wants? In this book he is put on trial for murder, so
it is fair to say the biggest thing he wants is to be proven innocent. Another big desire Steve has is to be free,
and not spend his life behind bars for something he didn’t do. Although Bobo is
his friend he wants him to be thrown in jail, since he was the one who murdered
the guy that Steve is being accused of killing. Everyone can connect to this
because no one wants to be accused or get in trouble for something they didn’t do.
The book Monster is structured
like the show Law and Order,
there is an investigation going on, and someone gets accused of something they didn’t
do, until the end when they finally find out it was someone else. Steve being
the guy that is accused of the crime at first, but Bobo was the actual suspect.
It’s fair to say the themes of this book are the want/desire to be free, and
the want/desire to not be accused.
