The expose makes me feel like folding it up and giving up on reading as the exhilarating nervousness kills me but cannot stop until I finish. I want to know how the bad things end and if they could end up being good things. The authors have made sure that the reader gets tormented but prevent him from giving up. Suspense is just what the doctor ordered.
In “death by buffet” I first get confused about what is going on since there is the journalist anchoring, talking less about the war since the pictures say it all and there is the one who used to be on the radio but loves watching. I make my conclusion that her interest in watching makes her want to work for television agencies which she does eventually. I get the news set that makes her keep asking “is this journalism” and feel relaxed as she makes me realize am reading and not in the situation. It is not good how easily it discourages one from a particular interest like the way Sarah feared being a journalist at the war front, wow, love life, how can I forget to say that love is in every human habitation. Gambling her career with love, Sarah gets confused on whether to go back to the loved one or undertake the challenge. I learn that challenges will always come my way.
The next one is “life stuff”. Tom Wolfe makes sure that people like me read his articles. This one in particular is perfect. Talk of suspense and I will give an answer that tom knows how to do it best. “Have you heard about it”, this makes me restart reading the article again, teaching me that there are ways of breaking sad news. Jane handled her situation differently. If today I was told the same by my friend, I would ask myself the same questions that Jane asked herself “why me and did they have to talk about my husband”. I would hate the news kept for long before making them known. While reading, I felt like telling Jane that Pete was dead as the call attendant hesitated to do so, could it have been fear to break the sad news to a person with the possibility of being the wife? I could have exactly done what he did. The expose leaves me in a quagmire and I keep reading it until I take in that I am recalling the words still ahead, hence rating it as well.
When I read “Life’s in mama house”, I get interested in meeting up with Ted Conover and getting ideas of how he thought of writing such. How the article makes the inmates seem comfortable but having some problems edifies me that whoever is new to a place must go through hardships just like the one who took a bottle of massage oil after starving for weeks, and parties are still being held in the same location. For example when there was a party and the cake was dropped accidentally. It is so good to read that it is my favorite article. The inmate’s story is so true that I would develop exactly what he talks about. I first thought the prison was an estate as it has many divisions called blocks. I stick it to my head that blocks are like wings.
