1. The title of the book is A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O'Reilly. It was published in 2008.
2. The general purpose of the book is for Bill O'Reilly to talk about his life from when he was a kid to his political career but also make the reader think of similar events that happened in their life. Additionally, we are supposed to take advantage of the references he made such as to past presidents and U.S. events, his family and other people he encountered in his life.
3. The narrative hook is: I know that sounds cynical, but let's be honest: politics in America is a money play full of charlatans and crazed ideologues. This line grasps my attention because O'Reilly is saying that politicians are charlatans meaning they are corrupt and claim to have special knowledge or skill when the reality is they don't know. Therefore, it caught my attention because it made me want to understand why this is and the meaning behind his statement.
4) charlatan- falsely claim, cynical- believing people are motivated by self interest, appraisals- an expert estimate, lumbered- to move in a slow heavy way, St. Brigid's School- Catholic school that O'Reilly attended in Long Island5. My book is good, I want to read more and also relate to his life experiences and be inspired of how to be successful in life. So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed the book and hope on making the most out of it.
