An Interview Conducted By Ben Mcgrath

Education is an important factor in terms of national security as well, in the United States, highly educated citizens can prosper and pull themselves out of an economic hole, similarly to the author, and much like what the original values of the American Dream stood for. To Mary, her acceptance letter to John Hopkins was a godsend and, “It was a golden ticket to another world,” and that it was a pathway to “the life she wanted, the life she dreamed about.” However, even the highly educated can be led into a world of terrorism. Georgetown University professor, Carol Lancaster describes how “[t]he terrorists of Al Qaeda were educated, from well-off families, and mostly from countries that have long ago graduated from the category of the world’s poorest,” . Nevertheless, senior security Iraqi officials reported that the majority of ISIS recruits were, “mostly young men between the ages of 16 and 25 who are primarily poor, unemployed and lack an education.” Based on his background, Wes would have been a prime candidate for recruitment by radicalized groups because they often incentivize means of escaping injustices and gaining power in a group that they are accepted by. The same philosophy applies to gangs are throughout the nation, which obviously increases domestic crime rates. In the future position of an Intelligence Officer with specializations in counterterrorism, it is vital to understand the roots of

One must have the courage to face their fears and not regret their decision in the future. In the movie, Jamal breaks into a mystery man’s house, starting an amazing friendship between both men. They push each other to face their own fears, to go into the real world, and make sure that they make the right decisions for the future. Seeing how courageous they are inspires others in different ways. The mystery man turns out to be an intelligent famous author, and Jamal hides his talents, such as writing.

Throughout the paper I am going to provide the comparison between the film and the novel with arguments, facts and proven cites from both sources. Throughout these points I will explain why I believe that the book is better in a sense than the film and provide details why. Lastly, I am going to reinforce the arguments I proved and explain the matters of it, as well as the value of the case studies.

Some left dreams behind because of other pursuits, some because of mistakes they made, others because circumstances took the opportunities from them. This movie impacted many people because of its message about unfulfilled dreams, the relationships with fathers and sons, regrets, and second chances. It awakens a cry in a person’s heart, to “let the adventures begin.” We often discover through the act of preparing for something amazing, that something amazing begins to happen in

First, an overall theme of the novel is that a person will not always be entitled to their own

Sometimes it is seen as admirable to be born with certain qualities that are positively shown throughout a person’s lifetime. However, this is not always the case; some people must gain these traits through the trials and tribulations of life. Whether the characteristic is present since birth or is later adopted, it is still exceptionally important that the attribute is eventually manifested. These two opposing situations are exhibited through the antagonists in Khaled Hosseini’s 2003 novel, The Kite Runner. All through Hassan’s life, his courage was always present and never faltered; on the other hand, Amir lacked this bravery until he was a grown man after many years of maturing.

Throughout many centuries, there have been numerous stories that present readers with similar themes embedded throughout the writings. The Epic of Gilgamesh, The King Must Die, and The Kite Runner are all stories that contain the theme of redemption, and of one’s search for his/her identity. The theme of redemption is seen in Amir’s maturation throughout The Kite Runner. Amir grows up in Afghanistan in the later 1900’s, and is brought up luxuriously and with an education by Baba, his dad. This theme is also seen in Gilgamesh’s life story as he loses his friend and embarks on his journey to attain immortality. The theme, or concept, of missing a part of one’s identity is displayed in Hassan and Amir’s stories in The Kite Runner as well as

The significance of a choice is most notably illustrated in its consequences, however the inner struggle that leads to a decision often holds more meaning through its effect on the person. Characters throughout the novel often struggle to find themselves and understand their purpose because they dwell on past experiences. As a result, they are inhibited from progressing and find difficulty in having to make potentially influential choices. Lee’s discussion of inherited flaws marks an important similarity to Cal, who constantly battles the choice between good and evil.

Polanski influences viewers to abandon the hope they were positioned to develop through the hero Jake’s embodiment of the assumption that good will

I had the opportunity to interview with Scott Sluis, who is employed with Zions Bank. Sluis is positioned as the Vice President/Branch manager for all Zions banks located in Weber County. There are 5 branches within Weber County with a total of just over 100, which Sluis oversees. He manages all aspects of the financial center, however, his main focus is small business lending.

The person I choose to interview is my husband James Wheeler. I interview James Wheeler on October 2, 2015. My interview started asking him questions on his experience on college. I find myself learning more from this interview than I could imagine. James gave me general advice about take your time, don’t get rushed by trying to meet unrealistic deadlines you set for yourself. When it came to be a responsible student, He said a responsible student will always make time to get there work done. He talked about with the career that he choose in law enforcement finishing up with a degree in public safety is to help him with promotion and also help him better understand the logistics of planning and preparation and keeping people safe even

For this project I have chosen to interview a close acquaintance by the name of James Ramos. He is a 17-year-old senior in high school, and he intends to graduate from Mesquite high, a public school in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas. James has attended Mesquite high since he enrolled as a freshman. James and I first met at Mesquite Presbyterian Church, and we happened to both be attending a convention on youth’s empowerment. At the convention, James had given me his contact information and since then we have maintained close contact through text messages and calls. James and I agreed we should attend a couple seminars together over weekends and breaks. I established that James would be an excellent candidate to interview for this particular assignment. After a brief text message exchange, James agrees to get together at a local church to discuss the interview. James was a great choice for me because we have been casual friends and we both share the similar interests. Besides, while his Erickson’s development stage is adolescence, mine is early adulthood.

America is a substantially different world now than it was at the time of the initial “American Dream”. “The optimism of the
