The Story of Us is heartbreakingly beautiful. I love the way the story flowed from present to past, back and forth over and over. It really gave me the background for the beautiful couple and how they met and fell in love. Also what happened in between, while Maverick was fighting for his life.

Why it impacted me the most is because we get in inside look of the Bastile family, they seem like the perfect family because inside the household is a beautiful wife and her beautiful kids with her successful husband who is a doctor, the family seems perfect but they are falling apart very second; Louis is the kind of person that affects everyone around him, mostly negative but Roz and Cisely refuse to see him that way because they love him to much unlike Eve who is starting to see who he really is and even wishes death upon him; she is the only one who sees the family is being torn apart.

William Domhoff’s investigation into America’s ruling class is an eye-opening and poignant reading experience, even for individuals enlightened on the intricacies of the US social class system.

In articulating his thesis and supporting assertions, Domhoff appeals rhetorically toward an audience with prior knowledge
