FADE IN: INTERIOR COURTHOUSE. We are in a small room used for prisoner-lawyer interviews. A guard sits at a desk behind STEVE.

KATHY O'BRIEN, STEVE’S lawyer, is petite, red-haired, and freckled. She is all business as she talks to STEVE.

O’BRIEN

Let me make sure you understand what’s going on. Both you and this King character are on trial for felony murder. Felony murder is as serious as it gets. Sandra Petrocelli is the prosecutor, and she’s good. They’re pushing for the death penalty, which is really bad. The jury might think they’re doing you a big favor by giving you life in prison. So you’d better take this trial very, very seriously.

When you’re in court, you sit there and you pay attention. You let the jury know that you think the case is as serious as they do. You don’t turn and wave to any of your friends. It’s all right to acknowledge your mother.

I have to go and talk to the judge. The trial will begin in a few minutes. Is there anything you want to ask me before it starts?

STEVE

You think we’re going to win?

O’BRIEN (seriously)

It probably depends on what you mean by “win.”

—Monster,

Read this passage. In a paragraph, explain what the reader can tell about Mrs. O’Brien’s feelings toward Steve based on how they speak to each other.

Respuesta :

In my opinion, It's depend on the way Steve answer and show his emotion with the judge . And Mrs. O’Brien’s feelings toward Steve is very serious, she asked a question that what do you mean "win" so that is a trick question because in this case, I think "win" mean to go to jail not to die. She is a little bit funny too when she asked that question!

Hope this could help you!!!

Please gave me brainliest if this is right, thank you!

From the excerpt shown above, we can see that O'Brien is unsure of Steve's innocence, but believes he doesn't deserve to be killed as punishment for what he's done.

This can be seen because:

  • At no time does O'Brien claim that he will ask for Steve's acquittal.
  • She also doesn't say she's sure if Steve is guilty or innocent.
  • However, she claims that she will try to free him from the death penalty.
  • For O'Brien, it will be a victory if Steve is arrested and not assassinated.
  • She doesn't claim it will be a victory if he is acquitted, as she doesn't believe it will.

In this case, we can see that O'Brien is very professional about Steve's case. She doesn't have any feelings for him, but she believes he shouldn't be sentenced to death.
