  • Walter Dean Myers’ Monster - Guilty Until Proven Innocent

    1247 Words  | 3 Pages

    Monster is an example of what Patty Campbell would call a “landmark book.” Texts such as these “encourage readers to interact with the text and with one another by employing a variety of devices, among them ambiguity” (Campbell 1) Because it is told through the eyes of Steve himself, the plot can be difficult to decipher. It is ambiguous whether he is innocent or guilty of being involved with the crime. Steve learned to make things unpredictable from his film teacher Mr. Sawicki who teaches him, “If you make your film predictable, they’ll make up their minds about it long before it’s over” (19). Steve took his teacher’s advice and made this film script entirely unpredictable, even after it is over. His lawyer, O’Brien, says in her closing statement, “What can we trace as to the guilt or innocence of my client, Steve Harmon?” (245) This leaves the jury with an undoubtedly difficult decision, as well as the reader, because there are clues to both guilt and innocence in Steve’s case.

    Comparing Murderers in Lamb to the Slaughter and the Speckled Band In this essay, I am going to compare and contrast the two murderers, Sir Grimesby Roylott in 'The Speckled Band' with Mary Maloney from 'The Lamb To The Slaughter'. The two stories 'The Speckled Band' and 'Lamb To The Slaughter' are both about murder. The situations and motives that occur show sharp contrasts between each of the separate murders. The character of Roylott presented in 'The Speckled Band' is a violent character with a unique quality with wit and skills that shine throughout this short story. It is not however, for the best reason.

    Real or Not Real, we will never know. All of a sudden aliens play a game with the people on Maple Street. All of the power shuts off. Les Goodman’s car starts by itself. Pete was shot, mistaken to be an alien. I think this story is not realistic because aliens can't control power, can't make a car by itself, or mistaken someone to be an alien then shoot that person.

    Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the defense, a 19 year old boy Carl Gallagher is being wrongly accused for the homicide of his father. After hearing the prosecution's statement your mind can be persuaded as to why Carl could be guilty, but he is not guilty. The evidence shown by the prosecution is not a substantial foundation for the whole case to set it self upon. Think of a man who would kill his own father. Now does that man fit the representation and story of the young man Carl? For me certainly not. See through the empty spaces and realize those spaces are necessary for the proper functioning of a young adult.

John Grisham seemed like he was telling an interesting story to get feedback from others. Grisham wanted readers to be aware of the unfair trial, but also wanted to know how they feel towards the situation. The author’s arguments showed both sides of the story. He showed the way two innocent men could have been accused because of obvious reason such as their personalities and he also showed how it was wrong and both men should have had a better trial. The author didn’t show any feelings in the book. He told the story exactly how he was told as he did his research for the
