Questions for New York Times Articles Elizabeth John

1) The audience seems to be individuals who are interested in the American government and its involvement in the Pakistan government. " That leaves Mr. Bush with the principled if unfamiliar, option of using American prestige and resources to fortify Pakistans badly battered democratic institutions." This quote is a good example of who the audience of these articles. Bush is left with a huge decision on how he is going to deal with the Pakistan and its leaders, his decision is going to affect all Americans. 2) The villans in the story are suspected individuals responsible for the assasination. These individuals consist of Mr. Mehsud a military leader and President Musharraf. they appear in all talks of suspects of the assasination. 3) The hero in these stories is Bhutto. Her leadership and determination put her so close to becoming the prime minister for a third time, where she could have bought great change to the Pakistan government. The hero is also the Bush Administration because they are going to have to help the election to not be fixed and for it to be fair. 4) The New York Times focuses more on the American Governments involvement with the Pakistani Government. The events of our involvement and future involvement in the country are described in more detail than any other paper. In this paper there was an article published on August 9 1990 that described the past events before Bhutto and Musharraf which gave me great insight to how the events unfolded and where they are today. This article showed how far back the story goes between the two pakistani political parties and no other paper has provided that information.
