Hunter S. Thompson, 1970: The Kentucky Depraved
The story I chose to analyze is by Hunter S. Thompson, 1970: The Kentucky Debry is Decadent and Depraved.
The story begins with the author, as the main character, describing the days of how he and Ralph Steadman, travelled from England to make photos of the drunken riot that was predicted to happen. This riot was predicted to be so massive that even the FBI was involved. In fact, "they were looking for “that special face,” a drunken person with a good mix of booze, failed dreams, and a terminal identity crisis (Cohen, 2005) that would capture the true spirit of the Kentucky Derby" (Nichols, J. (2012)) However, they became very much engaged with the partying crowds, that they ended up drinking during the whole trip.
