His attorney, Dr. Gonzo, accompanies him on his travel from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. On the way, they do many drugs and drink lots of alcohol, pick up a hitchhiker and hallucinate like crazy before arriving at their hotel. After the race started, Raoul leaves before the race ends because he is bored and high, so he decides to go to a bar. The next day, he wakes up to realize that his attorney has abandoned him and has gone back to Los Angeles. Raoul tries to run away as he has no story and head back to Los Angeles without paying for the hotel. He then receives a telegram from Dr. Gonzo about a new story he is tasked with covering, the National District Attorney’s Conference on Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. He still thinks about running away, until he is caught by police officer for speeding and sees the hitchhiker again, when he starts panicking about being caught for driving while drunk and high. However, he changes his mind after he calls Dr. Gonzo who assures him he’s not going to get in trouble with anyone. He decides to return to Vegas and meet his attorney again at the Flamingo Hotel to cover this new …show more content…
What do you think will happen next?

2. What do you think will happen by the end of the story?
I think after the fail at the conference, Raoul is being pursued by the police for doing drugs and alcohol after the other attorneys report him and he decides to just relax and ride his car out somewhere until he gets caught someday. I think that he will just stop worrying about the police and being paranoid about his hallucinations and simply start laughing as he rides off
