Great information about the book so far, Akbar.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what other lessons we can learn from this book? I think that Steve's determination to stay occupied in the film making probably helped his chances of staying clear headed during the trial. What do you think?
I like how you talk about the author I think is really important to talk about the author. I think the people might be interested in who is the author and which other books he had because the book monster is a really good book. I like how you talk about the main character of the story steven harmon.
