For this week discussion, I would like to discuss about the story by Hunter S. Thompson, fear and loathing in America. The story portrays about the 9/11 event and its possible consequence about to happen. The author speaks about the lost innocent lives in their own home land, by their own airplanes by mysterious enemy. The story also touches the incapability of the US leadership for not giving the public about the attack and the once responsible for that.
Part of the story that kept my attention is the first line of the tenth paragraph. "This is going to be a very expensive war, and victory is not guaranteed, for anyone and certainly not for any one as baffled as George W. Bush"(Thompson, 2001). When someone goes to war there is
for sure guaranteed causalities you have but not guaranteed victory. Human cost and economical impact of war has always been expensive to human kind. My attention was not kept because the narrator said war is expensive but by the victory is not guaranteed. In my point of view not knowing with whom you are fighting, in which fronts , confronting enemy you can not estimate of its strategies and tactics and other related unrevealed factors may have force the narrator to say we are going to war without guaranteed victory even not to the man chief commander.
The writer conveys his story in narrative way by touching every moment related to the event. Through narrative way the writer gives the full picture of the event and its ongoing things surrounding it to the reader clearly.
