At the end of part 4, Andy Mulligan uses newspaper stories to reveal further information about Senator Zapanta and the mystery. The clue revealed in the first newspaper article is that the vice-president never denied that he stole money from the country, which creates suspicion. Evidence shows that the first newspaper article is no doubt bias to the government because it mentions Vice-President Zapanta’s reelection campaign where he looks like he is caring about dumpsite orphans.

All the articles do not share the same point of view. The first one is clearly bias to the government by only informing the reader the good things about Vice-president Zapanta. The other three articles aren’t scared to get their hands dirty, they inform the reader the truth about the corrupt Vice-president Zapanta. They inform the reader how the vice president used the dumpsite orphans for his campaign but didn’t pay them a single dime and they ask us how Zapanta had that much money in the first place, since it is a poor country.

This is an effective way to reveal the story because it makes the reader more hooked and the story more interesting. The articles help confirm that Zapanta is a very corrupt man. I think that these articles help the reader sit on the edge of their seats and continue on in the book with more information and more understanding of what’s happening
