Independent Reading #6

Prompt #18

My independent reading book is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. I think that he called it that because one of the theme is the American Dream but in the book he doesn't talk about the American Dream he talks about the ugly side of the dream. Fear is a emotion of something dangerous and loathing is a dislike. I think he named it fear and loathing in Las Vegas because of the drugs and the trouble they got into in Las Vegas. Also because the book is mainly about the ugly side of the American Dream so the dangerous and dislike of the American Dream. If I could choose a new title it would be What Happens in Las Vegas, Stays There. I would name it that because they get into a lot of trouble and some call it the sin city so what happened there you wouldn't want it to haunt you forever.
