MONSTER

The book is continuing to be increasingly interesting. Now, Steve seems to be so terrified, so afraid, so nervous that he has almost lost all hope. He is so demoralized he says, "what's the point? I'm gonna be locked up FOREVER.". Court is resumed. There are not a lot of people in the court. No friends, barely any family and a lot of people who hate him. He almost believes that he deserves to live in jail for the rest of his life. However. seeing his parents and siblings greatly comforts him. He flashes back, where he sees his father and him meeting at an unkown place where they are both crying. His father promises and offers Steve hope until he is forced to leave by the police guards.

Steve's face exemplifies no emotion. His lawyer is trying her best, but the odds are depressing. The prosecutor looks extremely confident and the jury returns with an undecided verdict: only one member voted innocent. All of a sudden the door open, the courtroom's quiet and Steve's last chance at freedom walks in.
