This short story is about the hardships of being an american journalist and stuff. i do agree that it is a very tough job and you have to have a true passion in doing it in order to be successful. But I do not agree with some things that he is saying in the essay.
One thing is how he thinks that the gu getting killed is unjust. Im not saying that should have killed him, im just saying that there are limits to some things you can do. Journalists naturally stick their heads in to things that are not any of their business just so that they can tell every one about it. Again, im not saying he should have been killed. I am just saying that he should have known that people dont play with...he still didnt deserve to die though.
So the guy talks more about how it was bad and stuff. But I just do not fully agree with him on that. For example, if you are a big time murderer. wouldnt you kill a journalist who is close to catching you and broadcasting everything? I would. He also talks about how he was in some other country nd trying to find stuff. Now common sensewould tell you that if they catch you, you are gonna die. 1. because you are in their business, and 2. because they dont really know why you are here. You could possible be a big terrorist trying to blow all types of stuff up.
This was my favorite of the short stories and I agree with you. If your across sea you have to play by their rules or you risk your safety and for this character his life. I understand wanting to get that career achieving story but is there a limit? Nice blog it was very opinionated, it would however been easier to understand if you would edited before publishing.
