The Artifact: Mini-Trump

The artifact I will be analyzing for my term paper is an article submitted by Chris Moody titled The Time I Went to Summer Camp with the Future Mini-Trump. The significance of this piece is that Moody reflects on his experience with Stephen Miller, Trump's senior advisor, at a summer camp that entails a mock government. To check out the story, you can go here.

Moody paints a narrative for the audience that is overwhelmingly negative, often comparing Miller to Trump with typical phrases that we have all become too familiar with. He shares a story about how Miller's action at this mock government showed Miller's true colors and how a real position of power is a negative thing for the United States.

Using the Narrative Paradigm, I will dissect Moody's story on how he portrays Miller, and how I believe that the ultimate goal is to once again demonize the office of Donald Trump. This is not just a story about summer camp, but rather a demonization truly meant for Donald Trump.
