Status Updates From Montana 1948

In the middle of the book we start to notice Changez embarrassing his pakistani and starting to leave behind the lifestyle he has in America. A crucial moment is when Changez decides to not shave his beard despite knowing how his co workers, and others will view him. I think that other rebellious moments like this will eventually cause Changez to go back to Pakistan leaving behind his life in The United States.

Changez got a job at underwood samson which is a prestigious valuation and consulting firm. Changez explains his work at underwood samson as and how he embraces its focus on fundamentals. Changez mainly focuses on analytical skills and growing status at the firm. Even though he found success, he began to sense conflict between his corporate role and his personal values.

When Changez saw the first plane hit the world trait center tower it said that he showed a slight smile when it happened.my thinking about why he smiled was that he is from Pakistan and the religion they practice is Muslaniam and the muslims were the ones who attacked the towers on 9/11 so maybe he knew it was the muslims the whole time. I also think he didn’t know how serious it was at the time.

After 911 occured Changez was going through security and they did a personal check 2 separate times and that goes to show how serious the security got in airports after 911 happened. I agree with Changez because when I go to the airport I find it very repetitive and time consuming when you have to go through security. I at least appreciate it though because they are making sure everyone is safe during their travels.
