Convinced, not decieved

“We are becoming the very monsters we are trying to destroy.” This quote was intended to make you think about the actions that those in higher power take. A lot of the time they might think they’re helping but there really just helping themselves or other people of higher power. Sometimes on purpose and sometimes by mistake. I went to the extreme and make my fictional character, Mitch, to give the American people someone they can easily identify with. Someones who goes through trials and tribulations like themselves. It is often said that “the road to hell was paved with good intentions.” I think this quote fits well with this book. The CIA may or may not have good intentions but they’re going about things the wrong way. They feel as though they’re above the people they’re supposed to be protecting, which is never good. This is just my personal opinion. I remember a quote that I heard earlier in the class (I can’t recall exactly when, but it was during Glenn Beck.) but it was, “TV is strictly for entertainment, I don’t believe a word I hear from it.” Or something close to that nature. The same thing goes for books. I’m not saying my book or events that occured in my book couldn’t be true, but I’m also not telling you that they are. My job is to make the American population aware of what could be going on with the CIA. And I just happened to be entertaining them at the same time. All I did was convince people in a strong manner, with vivid detail that the CIA was no good, and everyone fell right in line. So the truth I’m trying to get to is that anythings possible. And Mitch can definitely show you how misleading the CIA can be. Weter you choose to believe it or not is your own choice. But if you want my opinion or Mitch’s for that matter, the CIA can not be trusted.

  1. That's interesting- I guess I see it more as Flynn showing that what the CIA does is necessary. The CIA acts above the law because that's a necessity in order to get things done, or so they think. Or maybe that's just their justification for their actions, I'm not sure. (at least, this is what I thought when I was first reading it...)
