Monster 40 to 60

In the cell they take away mostly all your stuff so you can't kill yourselves. While Steve was in his cell pondering around in his thoughts when he thought that he was never involved in the case. The lawyer and the judge are the ones, not him. He also remembered how Ms. O'Brian said that Petrocelli was trying to get criminals and trying to get the judge to compare him with the criminals. When he got to the courtroom a detective was on the stand. Petrocelli asked the detective about the scene and she gave them pictures of the crime scene. When that was done the Petrocelli started asking questions and making it seem like the people that were on stand were not being totally honest.

Monster 20 more pages

They brought in someone named Jose, Jose was one of the drugstore workers and he was off shift. When he returned from his shift he saw that his co-worker was dead on the floor and five cigarette cartons were missing. When Jose was stepping down, Petrocelli called in another person called Zinzi. Petrocelli asked Zinzi many questions and he basically said that he was buying stolen baseball cards and two packs of cigarettes, and how someone named Bolden was the one that sold them. Zinzi also said that he called a detective and told him what he knew about the robbery to get a break. But while Zinzi was on the stand Steve had a flashback for no reason. The flashback was about how he was walking with his friend when he was 12 years old. When the trial was over for that day and he was in his cot, he talked about how he hated being in his cell and if he didn't have the movie he would go crazy. The next Bolden was on the stand, Petrocelli asked how was the one who robbed the store and Bolden said Bobo Evans. Then he had another flashback on when Steve and James King were on some steps on a street and how they were talking about how the government was taking money so you could never get money. They also talked about how the only way to get money was from restaurants and drugstores.

Monster fist 20 pages

16 year old Steve Harmon is in jail, for murder. He was so lonely and scared that he thought of making a movie, a movie of what his prosecutor called him, Monster. In the courtroom his lawyer, Ms. O'Brian was telling him to basically sit straight and take it seriously, so the judge knows that he is taking it seriously. When the judge got to his seat he checked to see if everyone was ready and said "all rise". As the jurors started to take their seats, Steve said something about the Jurors to O'Brian and she replied with " that's all we got". From the doors a woman entered the room and said, that she was a district attorney for New York, how we are people in this country and we make mistakes, but then ended by saying that James king, a person that entered the drugstore and had shot the clerk. When she was done Ms. O'Brian looked at a notebook that Steve was writing in about the movie and crossed out all the "monsters" and said that the only way to win is to believe in yourself. As the Trial went on the district attorney said that a medical examiner will testify. They even talk about how Steve is innocent, and not how James KIng is guilty.

Outsiders 7

Pony, Darry, and Soda were waiting in the hospital waiting to see Dally and Johnny, they were interviewed. When it was time for them to see him they went to the door and saw that he was very pale and weak. When they went to go see Dally, he only had a burnt arm and just a few scratches, but he was all right. Later while Pony was with two bit, they were getting ice cream. That's when the blue Mustang parked in the front and asked Pony to get in the car. The boy's friend that Johnny killed named Randy, talked to him and said that he would not participate in the Rumble. That's when he realized that sucks, geezers, we're all humans and nothing more.

When ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally were Driving, Ponyboy saw something out of the corner of his eye, immediately he asked Dally to stop the car. He saw that the church was on fire and ran to it. There were a circle of children, some adults, and some faint screams of children in the church. Without hesitation Pony dove into the church and then Johnny came. When he got all the children out, Pony blacked out and woke up in the ambulance. He wasn't badly hurt, but the reason he blacked out was because Dally extinguished the fire on his back by slapping him.

There was food, fishing gear, electronics, pots and pans, and even a gun. When he tried to do something with the electronic thing, but nothing happened. He wanted to eat some food though so he got one of the pans, got some water, and cooked up a feast. While he was eating he saw a plane land right next to him and a pilot came out, He asked if he was the one that flipped a electric transmitter, and with that said and done they flew off. When he got back to his life he never really went back to normal, his body fat had decreased a lot. He always looked at things with a new perspective, and he would stop off at grocery stores just to look at all the food that there was.

Hatchet chap 17/18

Now with everything destroyed, Brian had to rebuild his camp. It wasn't hard for Brian because everything was on the ground from the tornado, and it ripped through all the trees. Once he rebuilt his camp he wanted to scavenge what was in the plane, but to do that he needed to craft a raft. When he finished he realized it was super hard to pedal so he waited in till the morning. When he got to the plane he tried to find out a way to get in. Out of frustration he punched the plane and he realized he dented the plane, so he got his hatchet and went to work. Once he got a big enough hole to go through swimming and search for a bag. It was very mysterious there and when he found it, he was in terror because he also found the pilot's skull and realized that the fish he was eating was the pilot.

Hatchet

Now Brian had a good food source, but he wanted to kill one of those annoying birds that he always heard. When he went hunting for the obnoxious birds he couldn't see them until it was too late, because they blended into the environment spectacularly. When he had given up he laid down next to a tree and rested for a while. When he looked to his left he saw one of the annoying birds and it flew away instantaneously. While it was flying he could see the shape and size of it and thought that he could try again and this time try and spot the bird in a new and different way. This time he spotted the birds. They were all over the place, in the bushes, the trees, and even on the ground. He saw that when he walked straight to the bird they would fly away. So with that in mind he found a way to get close enough to the Birds by walking in a zigzag, but never Straight. Later that day while he was washing blood from his arrows because he killed the bird a moose came up from behind and attacked him, he survived but his ribs were in pain. When he got back to the house, he went to sleep. When he awoke he heard a noise and realized it was a tornado and it destroyed his house and fire. Finally when it died out he realized he had to start from scratch again.

hatchet

As Brian watched the water ripple, he held his bow and aimed at the fish. He let go of the string, but then it almost made his blind because it recoil. When he got to his he made his bow look better as well as make it more stable as well. When he aimed at the fish, but right as he was about to shoot he remembered something about how the water reflects the fish, so he aimed a little down and hit the fish. When he saw that he caught it Brian was so proud, he ran to the fire and cooked the fish. When it was done cooking it tasted so amazing that he kept hunting and cooking the fish over and over again.

Hatchet

Brian made a spear and tried to catch a fish. He plunged the spear into the water but would never hit a fish. That's when he thought to make a bow an arrow, because the fish were too fast. When he found the right tree he heard an engine and looked to see a plane. He dropped everything and ran to his house to get a fire going to signal the pilot.
