Answer 1

"The journal includes Steve writing about himself in the first person. The screenplay includes Steve writing about himself in the third person."

Explanation: In Monster the journal entries are intimate, first-person reflections of Steve's thoughts and feelings, while the screenplay sections are written like a script—detached, observational, treating Steve more like an object onstage (third-person/camera perspective).
