Think It My Way

     Mother Jones is a magazine that I have never heard of until now, so I decided to subscribe to its feeds to learn more.  As I started reading, I realized that this magazine is not the type of magazine that I would typically read.  I occasionally read the latest gossip and news about celebrities or the current events of the world.  Topics such as these are not what I found in Mother Jones. Prison is a topic that was written heavily about in this magazine.  I guess this is the magazine that prisoners would be most happy to receive while they are serving their time because sometimes very useful information and advice is given in this magazine.  The articles “8 tips for an easier prison stay” and “Which works better behind bars, scuba or Buddha?” are two of the articles that may appear helpful to prisoners.  I become sort of skeptical of this magazine when I think about the writer.  I may turn away from reading this magazine if I discover that the writer is a former prisoner who is trying to give other prisoners “helpful” hints somehow, although the writer seems to have just done his research because the articles involve interviews from prison workers.  Maybe the writer is really trying to help his fellow prisoners.  I am not sure.  Since I am not very fond of this type of magazine, a person will probably not find me at the nearby store purchasing a copy of Mother Jones.
