Dramatic Structure in Monster

Question 9 • WI-English Language Arts 8 A

Which statement correctly describes the difference between the narrative and dramatic text structures in Monster?

Answer
A
The narrative text structure compares Steve to other inmates, and the dramatic structure shows a contrast between attorneys.
B
The narrative text structure describes Steve's problem, and the dramatic structure describes how the problem is resolved.
C
The narrative text structure tells a story about Steve, and the dramatic structure tells a story about the people who work in the courthouse.
D
The narrative text structure tells the story from Steve's viewpoint, and the dramatic structure tells the story using an outsider's perspective.

Explanation

The journal-style narrative sections are told from Steve’s point of view, so readers get his thoughts and feelings directly. The dramatic sections are written like a screenplay, presenting scenes through dialogue and visible action rather than Steve’s personal narration. Therefore, the correct choice is “The narrative text structure tells the story from Steve's viewpoint, and the dramatic structure tells the story using an outsider's perspective.”
