 The book //Monster// has many themes. The one I will be writing about is Court/Judicial system and the inequities in it. Even though that is the main theme, I believe that several other thing tie into, such as the dangers of prison/freedom, racism, and police treatment. Most prominently featured in this book is the fact that the jury might be more inclined to believe that Steve is guilty, simply because he is African American. The testimonies of African American are more questioned. If there are multiple suspects, detectives will probably believe it is a African American suspect. The same thing goes with police. If a African American person looks suspicious, they will arrest them without a second thought. The sad part about it is: that in some poor neighborhoods, stereotypes can be true. The racism spreads out to all the world, which is why I said that it is in a world where racism rules in my trailer. I also said that Steve tried to defy the stereotypes. He fights against other people’s assumptions. He fought against the stereotypes. King wanted him to join in the crime, but Steve would not do it. He did not want to dissolve into stereotypes. He really puts an insight to jail, and how horrible it really is. If I ever had any doubt that jail was a cruel punishment, it is diminished after reading this book, which is why I put it the film, of course. And that is how my theme fits into the book and my trailer.
