LONG RESPONSE 

1. What is the book's title?
The title of the book is, "Fire and Fury". 
2. Why does the lawyer, and Trump, want the book's sales halted?
They both wanted to halt the book because it gives 'false information' about trump. They say that it can result in damages.
3. Do you think a president should be able to halt a book's production and distribution?
No, I do not. This is because the writer has probably spent so much of his time with writing the book, fact checking, and many more things. Writing a book isn't easy and its the mans job. Trump is technically stopping the writer from working.
4. Is a book different from a newspaper/magazine? In what ways?
A book is different because it is much longer than a magazine and it stays on the same topic throughout the entire reading, unlike a newspaper/magazine.
5. Should a book author be required to follow the same requirements of a newspaper reporter?
I think that depends what they are writing about. If their writing a biography then yes, they should follow the same requirements.
6. Would you be interested in reading this book?
No, I don't think that I would be interested in reading this because it is about Trump and I'm not a fan of his. Even though the book isn't praising him, I still don't want to read it.
7. Do you think anyone in your family might read it? If so, who and why?
No, i do not think anyone in my family would be interested.

From everything that is happening in the moment, the photographer managed to capture this. In some way, it is calming. The way the man is frozen in time. The Rule of Thirds  These photos convey the rule of thirds because the subject is in the side of the photos. They are both at the bottom left.   Lines  This is showing lines because of the American flag and the light shining in only that one spot. The light brings my attention towards the flag and the flag has lines that pull your attention towards the debris.  Balance  This photo shows balance because the people are walking the same way, and everyth...
