Long Response:

The past few days much of the political conversation in the United States has been centered around a book debuting today about President Donald Trump written by Michael Wolff. Read the story on page A1 "Trump's Lawyer demands halt to new tell-all book" and then answer the following questions:

1. What is the book's title? 
The books title is Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. This book is written by Micheal Wolff and has caused much controversy. The book includes Micheal Wolff's opinion on Trump and  statements that, according to Trump, make him look bad.

2. Why does the lawyer, and Trump, want the book's sales halted? 
Trump and his lawyer wanted the book to be halted because the book by Wolff portrayed him as a volatile and ill-equipped chief. Mr. Trump believed the book attacked his character and he wrote a 11 page letter to halt Wolff from releasing the book to the viewers.

3. Do you think a president should be able to halt a book's production and distribution?
No, no other former president has halted production of a authors book, it shouldn't be allowed. In this world everyone has a opinion about the leaders and Wolff was just expressing his opinion and stating evidence to support himself. In no means did Wolff do anything wrong and by no means were his intentions to bash down the president. Mr. Trump shouldn't be faced by the book and should disregard the opinion of a fellow american.

4. Is a book different from a newspaper/magazine? In what ways?
Yes, a book can be different from a newspaper/magazine because it's longer and the book can express opinions. Also a book has only one author while a newspaper/magazine has many writers. Newspapers/Magazines have restriction as to what topic they may write about and if they can state their opinion, but books can be however the author wants them to be and have little to no limitations.

5. Should a book author be required to follow the same requirements of a newspaper reporter?
No, because the author isn't working for the news company. The author is an independent worker that should be allowed to write what ever they wish to write about. Books can be depicted to the readers by the authors as the author wishes, if he/she wants to state their opinion, they are more than welcome to. Thus, book authors shouldn't be required to follow the same requirement as a newspaper reporter because they work independently and create their own product.

6. Would you be interested in reading this book?
Yes, the controversy this book has caused has made me interested into reading the book. Also it's interesting to read others opinion on the leader of their country. Reading this book can help me understand who Trump really is and his intentions as a political leader.

7. Do you think anyone in your family might read it? If so, who and why?
Yes, my dad would read this book to learn more about the opinions of other people. My dad would also read it to learn about others experience politically in America. Since this book has caused controversy, my dad would be interested into seeing what the talk is all about.
