Edwards argued that the arrests were part of a pattern of institutional bias in Aspen wherein those who looked different were hassled by the local police force and its magistrate, Guido Meyer. He challenged Meyer's "unconstitutional" sentencing of beatniks and eventually had him remove from office” (Sophie Gilbert). My idea was to help Edwards run for mayor in the city. As the campaign went on it looked as if Edwards would win. I then thought, he could do his part in politics as the sheriff so, I decided to run for it. Unfortunately Edwards lost by six votes, but this did not discourage myself from my campaign for sheriff. I used a symbol of a hand with four fingers and two thumbs clutching onto a button. Which was supposed to represent a sheriffs badge. “His platform, detailed in Rolling Stone, called for the streets of Aspen to be ripped …show more content…

One of my most successful is Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga. To research Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga, I had to insert myself as one of the gang members. I had to keep track of their road ally’s, their homes, and every part of their lives inside the gang. I wrote the book to show the gang in my point of view. While still showing how bad of a group they are and being honest about it. My second book that I have written is the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. This book is the best known book I have written. This book provided a true example of what ‘Gonzo’ journalism really is. It is about the failure for the author to report for a mint 400 motorcycle race and National Conference of District Attorneys Seminar on Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Pap’s virulently negative reaction to the African American professor is ironic because Pap is an abusive, alcoholic, ignorant thief who would definitely fall under the category of the scum or scourge of society and yet he finds the idea of this intelligent, responsible, African American professor voting repugnant, calling him a “prowling, thieving, infernal, white-shirted free nigger,” (27). Pap himself was “too drunk to get there [the polls]”(27) but now Pap “[he]’ll never vote ag’in”(27) which will most likely better the voting population. Pap’s feeling of superiority and juxtaposition of Pap and the African American professor shows the unfounded claims of racism throughout America, questioning the ethos of its perpetuators and their own

Access to knowledge is a right that is being slowly, but surely, restricted among readers across the globe. The book I chose, Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Myers, is one of the textual pieces that is receiving criticism for the use of “graphic and disturbing language,” as well as “derogatory” terms. Fallen Angels is a story describing the life of the Vietnam war of a young teenage kid, Richie Perry, using a collection of journal entries that were tied together with dialogue, forming a coherent story. This book shows all sides of the fight for life and livelihood through transparent and descriptive writing, leaving some readers astonished at the atrocities of war. These exact atrocities, however, argue for the book's historical relevance and
