This NarraTiVo is based on a predigital format (once known as a "book"). If you have been assigned "Old Men and Sea" as part of your advanced-level Taking Possession of Your Narrative class, you will first need to know enough about the plot, characters, and pertinent memes so you can explain this narrative in relation to your own.
The characters in the story are: Santiago, an old man; Eduardo, his friend; Ramón and Miguel, friends of Eduardo; José, Pedro, Esteban, Xavier, Buddy, and Antonio, friends of Ramón and Miguel; and thousands of other men of sixty-seven and above who are friends, or friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends, of theirs. The only character who is not an old man is a boy of about fifteen. He has a name, but is usually just called "the boy." Completing the list of characters are a marlin (a large type of fish, now extinct), some sharks (now mostly extinct or in private collections), and several extinct birds.

President for Sale - A survey of today's political ads.
On a mid-October Sunday not long ago sun high, wind cool-I was in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for a book festival, and I took a stroll. There were few people on the streets-like the population of a lot of capital cities, Harrisburg's swells on weekdays with lawyers and lobbyists and legislative staffers, and dwindles on the weekends. But, on the façades of small businesses and in the doorways of private homes, I could see evidence of political activity. Across from the sparkling Susquehanna River, there was a row of Democratic lawn signs: Malcolm Kenyatta for auditor general, Bob Casey for U.S. Senate, and, most important, in white letters atop a periwinkle not unlike that of the sky, Kamala Harris for President.
