Scott Monk's Raw Brett has a rebellious attitude and has some negativity towards authority; this is expressed in his attitude towards the police at the beginning of the novel and in the use of "pigs" dialogue. They capture Brett after a botched robbery and he is taken from Sydney to a juvenile detention center in Mungindi run by Sam and Mary Fraser. Brett Dalton is the individual on whom we see the institution have major effects, changing his life, his attitudes and his morals. Brett's attitudes towards authority are made very clear, the book is written in the third person, but through Brett's perspective this allows us to understand his individual views and also allows us to see his change in perspectives due to his institutionalization" For Brett, Sam was all he resented here, the more he tried to change him, the more Brett would resist, Brett wouldn't follow any rules or befriend the man like all the other losers, he was happy with who he was and how he lived. He would beat the system before he won." The irony of this attitude is that as long as Brett maintains it, he will be the loser. The conversations between Brett and the other characters are much more emotionally charged in the form of dialogue than they would be if Monk had simply described them. “Go away” “Why should I?” "I said 'go away.' known as YOTS. The institution aims to take in children who are below the normal standards of society and educate them with everyone else to give them a chance in life firm but kind to help the children", this approach is very similar to that of Sam in Raw. The article uses the dialogues of the children who have been in the institution to show us their attitude towards the program "You leave here with a feeling of great achievement" and one of the comments is striking for the comparison between the police in the gritty novel and the police in the article "The police see you and think you are nothing more than a street kid" they do not see them as individuals, so similar to the way the police treat Brett at the beginning of the novel “Raw."
