However, word had already gotten back to Camp Logan that Corporal Baltimore was possibly murdered (Holley). This rumor resulted in over one hundred angry soldiers who were not Southerners and not used to segregation to march to the Houston Police Station.

Access to knowledge is a right that is being slowly, but surely, restricted among readers across the globe. The book I chose, Fallen Angels, by Walter Dean Myers, is one of the textual pieces that is receiving criticism for the use of “graphic and disturbing language,” as well as “derogatory” terms. Fallen Angels is a story describing the life of the Vietnam war of a young teenage kid, Richie Perry, using a collection of journal entries that were tied together with dialogue, forming a coherent story. This book shows all sides of the fight for life and livelihood through transparent and descriptive writing, leaving some readers astonished at the atrocities of war. These exact atrocities, however, argue for the book's historical relevance and

I´ve just got out of the ferry so that I can cross the river and John is acting happy, maybe because the Confederates haven´t caught us yet.

My best friend and I have been long argued over the very question you raised. He sees Naked Lunch as drug induced, hallucinogenic vignettes dependent upon the substance being injested (or shot or sniffed). He does not find any social commentary in the book.
