Current Events Quiz #4.1
Short Answer:
1. La Veta, Colorado
2. The cartoon has to do with Trump's recent insulting tweet to Kim Jun Un, saying that he has a bigger nuclear button. The picture shows Trump with a bigger button over his mouth, and Kim Jun Un has a smaller one. This basically means that he needs to watch his mouth more than the Korean leader.
3. Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich DePalma, and Shane Sexton
4. There's 5. Sabrina Bianco, Caitlin Godwin, Keara McGraw, Kandace Blackburn, and Kyndall Johnson.
5. I'd want the Fitbit Alta HR because it has a long battery and it can track your steps, which is cool.
Long Response:
1. The book's title is called "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House." This title depicts Trump as a bad person, a brave move. I probably would've chosen less of a bold title, but I guess that's the author's choice.
2. Trump and his lawyer want the book's sales halted because it supposedly includes false statements about the president. The lawyer also wants Michael Wolff, the book's author, to apologize to Trump for saying "untrue" things about him because they lack evidence and support.
3. No, I don't the president should be able to halt book production. Being able to speak your mind through books is considered free speech. If Trump doesn't let Wolff publish his book just because he doesn't exactly approve, doesn't mean that he has the power to take away his right to free speech and to question authority.
4. A book is very different from a newspaper in many, many ways. There aren't rules in writing books, you can structure your writing however you want, but newspapers/magazines follow a strict structure and word count. Books also will be available for a long time, and newspapers/magazines won't be available for too long, because soon the news in it will become outdated. There are also many obvious physical differences.
5. No, there shouldn't be rules to writing books like there are rules to newspapers. People who read the news all look for the same thing. Clear and easy to read information. People who read books aren't exactly searching for something, they just read to enjoy. It would be very weird if books were written like newspapers.
6. I think I would read this book if it isn't too long. It seems very interesting, because it's very timely and controversial. I would probably have to do some research before reading it though, because I'm not very educated on political terms and government like adults are, because I don't have a voice in politics as a young person, which stinks by the way.
7. I think some people in my family would read it, like my dad. I'm not really sure what his political stance is, but I know he's Republican, which doesn't necessarily mean he likes Trump. He's very outspoken, so if he does support or not support Trump, I think he would want to get information on him. My stepmom would probably read this book too, since she's pretty conservative.
