The Language we use is very powerful. The words we say can hurt people's feelings. The comments we make can offend one another. People take things to the heart. For example, on April 9, 2009...An eleven year old boy hung himself for being bullied, picked on, and name called. People call other people names to get them mad. Sometimes, people say stupid things to play around, but the one getting insulted doesn't know that. The only time I call people names is when I am making jokes with friends. And even though I know we are joking, I don't go over the limit. It really hurts people; the things we say.

In the book, "Monster," the prosecutor, (Petrocelli), called the defendant, (Steve), a monster. Steve got very angry. He wrote "monster" all over his book. He hates to be in the position he is in. I think he feels like a monster in his cell at the New York Correction Facility. He has no freedom and is very lonely. If I was in his shoes, I would feel like a monster in that small cell. I think he is innocent but can't control the fact that he's on trial.

I think Steve is not a monster. If I were the jury I still wouldn't see him as a monster. No one knows if he's innocent or guilty. The monsters I can say are monsters are the rapists, perverts, serial killers, kidnappers, and more...that are roaming around the streets. They walk like if what their doing is o.k. It makes me sick knowing that they can live with what they do without showing any remorse. Steve called this book monster because he cannot take the fact something bad really happened. He's young and doesn't need to be in this position. He's called a monster and in jail, thats the way he feels. This story is an interesting story titled, "Monster."
