PETROCELLI

Withdrawn. Mr. Harmon, you say you weren't at the drugstore anytime during the day of the robbery. Perhaps you would tell us where you were.

STEVE

I don't know exactly where I was when the robbery took place. Most of the day I was going around taking mental notes about places I wanted to film for a school film project.

PETROCELLI

Well, if you don't know exactly where you were, can you tell me anyone who might know where you were?

STEVE

I don't even remember where I was. When the detectives asked me where I was, I couldn't even remember the day they were talking about. They didn't ask me about it until weeks later.

PETROCELLI

Then how do you remember – what did you say? – taking mental notes for a school film project?

STEVE

I know that because I was planning to do the film of my neighborhood over the holidays.

Walter Dean Myers

Based on this passage and the rest of what you’ve read in Monster, do you think Steve is telling the truth on the witness stand? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Sample Response:

It is hard to say whether Steve is telling the truth. Other characters seem sure that Steve was involved, but he says he was not near the drug store at the time of the robbery. It is strange that he does not remember where he was at the time of the robbery and that he knows so many people connected to the robbery. He was also nervous on the witness stand, but that does not prove he is guilty, because he has lots of reasons to be nervous.

Step-by-step explanation:

Its correct I just did the instruction with this question in it on Edge.
