The authors want to convey the impact that America had on their country, and inform people of how the US abuses its powers and takes advantage of its less powerful neighbors. They do a good job providing evidence in a factual matter using government documents which are inarguably true. Also their interactions and pictures make it known that they witnessed most of what they write about, giving their testimony a solid backing and leaving little room for errors or bias. Some of the Bitter Fruit’s greatest strengths include its engaging plot line, interesting style, and the coherent evidence provided by the authors that affirm their allegations toward the United States. I found some of the pictures to be a great representation of the settings because I am a more visual learner, and seeing the pictures and maps really helped my brain further understand what was going. One weakness of the book is following along with names because they are in a language that I cannot
