Theme: Life, Betrayal, Violence, Family, Fear
Summary:
Steve is facing 25 years to life. So to say the least, he is
pretty freaked out. The story starts off as writing in his journal then becomes
a screenplay then ends in his journal. Steve is sitting in his cell waiting for
his trial to begin. The screenplay
documents his trial, life in jail and has flashbacks of his life. Steve questions
if he is a monster – writing on his paper during the trial. James is found
guilty and Steve is found innocent. His mom is so happy. Steve is back at home,
staring at himself in the mirror thinking he is a monster.
A lesson for teachers would be how the judicial system works
in the story and how the amendments applied to Steve’s trial.
