Derby Reportage

I find it so interesting how Hunter S. Thompson tells his experience at the derby to tell what happened there and when he was meeting different people. The dialogue with some of the characters has colorful language and isn't something you typically see in journalism, but it made me feel like I was there having the conversations and hearing how people really are. Thompson doesn't discuss the actual events in the derby as much as the typical journalist would and that makes gonzojournalism so intriguing. Reading the article tells you what happened at the derby and how people are rather than what the outcome of the derby was.
