Brief Summary Of The Book 'Independent'

Have you ever had a single event in your life that made you feel as if you had finally matured enough to become an adult? Some of you may say yes, while some of you might still be searching or waiting for that moment to come. Personally, I believe I have had that moment in my life where I went from a young high school boy to a mature adult. That moment was when my sister got in an almost fatal car accident, and all I could do was stand on the side of the road. I was standing 20 feet from her car as the process of rescuing her went on.

Amir sees something as a child that will affect him for the rest of his life; this, is the moment Amir started to mature and change into an adult.

The state of the relationship between the United States and Latin American during the era of independence was one in which the regions were feeling each other out trying to figure out how to deal with one another, much like the way boxers feel each other out in the first round of a boxing match. However, both regions did have a mutual interest in seeing the end of European colonialism in the Western hemisphere, although the United States was probably more concerned about the potential return of European influence in North America (i.e. the British) because of its infant status as a nation which left it vulnerable to possible re-colonization.

From the perspective of a parent, whose primary concern is the wellbeing of their child, some of the author’s points seem valid.

After independence, the state made some significant changes in order to enhance production. Even though the funds provided were not adequate enough to make high quality films, some Moroccan filmmakers managed to achieve unprecedented success.
