Chapter 10 and 11

The beginning of the 10th chapter includes the meeting between O'Bien and Steven. Steven makes it evident that he is very nervous about the thought that he might be found guilty. After this meeting, the author writes a breif flashback of when Steven was in film class in school. The teacher of the class makes a few jokes and gets the class to laugh. Steven asks some questions that stump the teacher who comes across as a very intelligent person. As soon as it starts the flashback stops and Steven finds himself lying on a hard bed in a dark prison room.
In chapter 11 a trial held in a courtroom full of people is underway. Steven is described as a nervous hamster sweating buckets. After discussion and pleas from O'Brien, the judge announces that he has made his decision. Stevens head is going crazy and he has butterflies in his stomach during the time that the judge is speaking. Steven jolts his head up as he hears,
"In the case of Steven Harmon, he is found, Not Guilty"
As you can imagine Steven is undescriably releaved. This is a great ending to a great story of misleading stories and pleas. Steven is finally free.
