summer assignmennt #3

I am still reading the book, “Monster” by Walter Dean Myers.  For this part of the summer reading project, I chose to use the first quote of the book.  “The best time to cry is at night, when the lights are out and someone is being beaten up and screaming for help.”  In this part, Steve Harmon is narrating the story about himself.  I chose to use the first quote of the story because the first quote is almost always the quote that makes you want to read the rest of the story.  This quote hooks you on to the story because it grabs your attention because, you want to know why that’s the best time to cry and why someone is getting beat up.  The reason to cry when someone is getting beat up and screaming is so that no one can hear you and beat you up the next day when the lights are out.  The setting of this quote is in a prison, so that explains why people are getting beat up when the light go out.  I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to find a good book.   Walter Dean Myers is a good author and writes this book intelligently.
