Explain why you chose the book you did. (Be specific).





I chose the book Jawbreaker because the book interests me . I have always enjoyed non-fiction books which is what jaw breaker is this book was written by Gary Berntsen. This book is about the attack on bin laden and al-Qaeda Gary Berntsen "was one of the cia,s most decorated officers, he comes out from under cover for the first time to describe his no-holds-barred pursuit of Osama bin laden and Al-Qaeda." What also interest me is that on the front cover it says " The Book the CIA Doesn't want you to read!" I could not agree more with that statement if you open the book you will notice a lot of the lines have been blacked out because the government got ahold of this book and censored the stuff that we could not know on some pages hole paragraphs are blacked out. That is also the worst part of the book the only thing is that it is really hard to follow what is going on, almost all the names are changed to hide there identities.

 Another reason I like this book is that Gary Bernsten reminds me of montag from fahreinheit 451 both of them are trying to give knowledge to the people which the government does not think that they can handle or want to know. Evidence to support this is on almost every single page you notice that there is something blacked out. This evidence supports this claim because montages government burn books to keep secrets and in ours they black out the lines in the book so you have know idea what is going on. That is how montag and Gary Bertsen are similar which is why I like the book.
