The book name makes no sense with the book, the book has nothing to do with monsters and just a man that wants to write a movie script and nothing changes or nothing ever good happens. Devon Kamrowski
Devon, If you remember in the beginning of the novel, Steve Harmond, the protagonist, tells the reader that he calls the book/movie that he is creating Monster because that is what the prosecuting attorney refers to Steve as, a monster. Steve spends the rest of the novel avoiding the truth, allowing the reader to form their own opinions on whether or not Steve is a monster. Does killing someone make you a monster? Does making a decision that lands you in a position like Steve's make you a monster? Does being in the wrong place at the wrong time make you a monster? Why do you think Steve would question whether or not he is a monster? Why not just come out and admit that he is a monster? I believe that Walter Dean Meyers is trying to get the reader to make their own conclusions about Steve and his guilt in the incident. Have you ever done anything that made you feel "less" of a person as Steve did in this novel? I think this is where the author is allowing the reader to connect to his young protagonist.
