Author’s Note: This essay is about one of the characters in the novel “Monster” by Walter Dean Myers, Richard “Bobo” Evans. As the author of this current essay I am informing the reader on Mr. Evan’s features/ characteristics, role in the story, and likes and dislikes.
Richard Evans known on the street as “Bobo” had just been put in jail for seven to ten years for selling drugs. He was also one of the acquaintances on December 22 when he, James King, and Steve Harmon were accused of killing a man during a drug store robbery. Mr. Evans was a very tall teen. For his age he was really tall to everyone around the community. He was also a very overweight person. Nobody made fun of him though because he was really big so he would probably just beat them up. Most of all, his facial appearance was really bad. Once again nobody told him that because he would get mad and probably beat them up.
“Bobo” had a pretty big role in the novel. He was one of the people who were in the store when the man got shot. He was also a person that the jury could relate to Mr. King and Mr. Harmon if they did in fact know each other. Since he did know Mr. King very well he might have been the biggest problem for Mr. King. Especially after “Bobo” told Mrs. Petrocelli that after the incident they both used the money they had stolen to get a bite at the local fast food place.
I do like that Richard was being honest the whole time about everything that went on that day. I do believe that he thought he would have less time in jail if he told them everything. I don’t like how he brought Steve into the situation, because he clearly stated that they did not know each other and that Mr. Evans had only heard about him right before the robbery. If he had not known Mr. Harmon at all why did he even have to talk about him?
