The Strengths Of The Book Holes

TO BILLY: Yes. The piece speaks of the dangers of human passivity, with a writing style similar to that of Ray Bradbury. With some revisions, I would recommend accepting the piece for the magazine.

Woodward and Bernstein served as watchdogs of our government officials in this book. This presented a plethora of challenges when they were investigating Watergate. Primarily, it was very hard for them to find sources that would be willing to talk and go on record. A lot of them wanted to stay anonymous, for example, in the book, “Deep Throat” served as the main source of information to Woodward throughout the book, however he often spoke in riddles such as “follow the money” and never revealed his identity. “Deep Throat” also ended up being the main reason that this scandal kept moving forward to President Nixon eventually resigning. The reason that sources did not want to talk is that they did not want to be affiliated with such a large-scale

In the novella “Down the Rabbit Hole” by Pablo Juan Villalobos, the story revolves around the concept of innocence. What makes this novella different from other literature that discuss innocence is that the main character Tochtli does not actual move from innocence to experience but rather stays innocent but as the audience reads on they figure out that tochtli has moved further and further away from pure innocence. In the beginning of the novella in the short notes ahead innocence is explained in the context of the novella as being incomprehension. This is a theme that is revealed throughout the entirety of the novella. The novella Down the rabbit hole sets the scene inside a palace of a later understood drug lord, who is the father of tochtli, the main character. Tochtli is only seven and therefor does not have an exact grip on what is happening around him. Juan pablo Villalobos however reveals information in such a way that the truth escapes the innocent mind of tochtli but screams out to the readers.

I liked this book because of all the twists and turns, and plot holes. Somethings I think it could of done better on are including

The overhead florescent light flickered, casting a vomit-yellow pall over the seedy Washington, DC bar. The bar was called The Black Hole, but Arthur Pendragon thought a more fitting would be The Shithole. It was the kind of place where your feet stuck to the floor and the whiskey tasted like battery acid. They probably hadn’t washed their glasses since the Clinton administration, because each piece was covered in fingerprints; some even had lipstick smears on the rim.

The plot as I explained the kids must find a safe haven in an environment called The Scorch which is nothing but sand set in a desert environment but the story has some plot twist. For example, “Tired. So, tired. The gas. Teresa. Why did it have to end this way? Betrayal.” (299, Dashner). Near the end of the story, the character Teresa betrayed the main character, Thomas. Another example is “Food…my name is Jorge and I’m the crank that runs this place…Thomas we have a deal but, that injured boy has to die.” (158, Dashner).
