I think that this post was very neatly written and
expresses the writer’s opinion very clearly. The connection between the photos and
the book is very clearly explained and organized. However, there are some
points that I would like to add on to or correct. The first point is a slight
misunderstanding about the bridge demolition; the Bay Bridge is a huge bridge
that stretches from San Francisco all the way to West Oakland, which is
approximately 7180 Meters. This bridge is more than twice as long as the famous
Golden Gate Bridge, which is around 2737, and is not to be confused for a small
bridge across a river. The demolition charges were described as what felt like
an earthquake, even though only a small part of the bridge was demolished.
Something that I found very interesting about this
post was the photo of the prisoners in jump suits. I’m not sure if it was
intended or not, but this particular picture was taken from an interrogation camp,
a Guantanamo detention camp. This sparked my interest because these camps are exactly
what was mentioned in the book; established in 2002 by the Bush Administration,
they were specially made to hold terrorists. What’s more is that this camp was
suspended by President Barrack Obama, because a female member of the Bush
Administration admitted to illegal torture and abuse that took place in the
camp. In conclusion, even though some information was slightly off, it was very
well written and has helped me discover more interesting things.
