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 book is called "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by  Michael Wolff. According to the paper the book consists of false statements about the president, Donald Trump. 

2. Why does the lawyer, and Trump, want the book's sales halted?

The lawyer and Trump wants the book's sales halted because it includes false statements about Trump and his family and the president doesn't want the audience to react to the information about him that is not true. The lawyer attempted to remove the book by writing a letter to the author and demanding him to cease any further publication. 

3. Do you think a president should be able to halt a book's production and distribution?

In my opinion I don't think what Trump did was false, he didn't want false information about him being spread but I don't think Trump as an individual should only have that privellage. Many authors write false statements about celebrities but they don't have the right to halt a book's production. So if the president can then anyone with the same experience should be able to. 

4. Is a book different from a newspaper/magazine? In what ways?

A book is different from a newspaper and a magazine but is also very similar. A book is different because it can consist of many genres and is longer than a normal newspaper or magazine. A book also focuses on one or two authors while a newspaper and a magazine might have multiple. 

5. Should a book author be required to follow the same requirements of a new
spaper reporter?
I don't think that a author should be required to follow the same requirements of a newspaper reporter because they have completely different jobs and their end product is also different. The author works alone and shares his/her ideas individually and the requirements of a newspaper reporter does not meet those requirements. 

6. Would you be interested in reading this book?
I don't think i would be interested in reading the book because I'm not curious about information about other people that is false. I think this book can get a lot of audience but i, personally would not be very interested in reading a book that includes false content. 

7. Do you think anyone in your family might read it? If so, who and why?

Their is a chance that someone in my family might read it and I think that they would because they want to learn about the current events in the news and if the book is really going to effect Trump. They might be interested in to seeing what they had to say about the president and how false or true the statement really was.
