Throughout the entire court trial, Steve Harmon wrestles with his own identity. He believes and/or wants to believe that he is a good kid; however, he also knows that he was present for the crime, he is on trial, and he is staying in jail. Despite that, he knows that he is not like the other men that are in jail with him. By the end of the novel, Steve does not have a firm grasp on exactly who he is, but he does have a stronger sense of direction of how to discover exactly who he is. For that reason, I think a character trait that Steve has at the end of the novel is the trait of being introspective. He wants to closely examine who he is. A supporting quote is the following quote from Chapter 21:
I want to look at myself a thousand times to look for one true image.
The other trait is that Steve is a reflective kind of person. The trial has given him a lot to think about. He needs to examine what about himself got him in that situation. A supporting quote is the following quote that is also from Chapter 21:
I want to know the road to panic that I took.
