I was very grateful and excited that Changez got the job at Underwood Samson. I believe it was because of Jim, the interviewer. He was who Changez really was. I have a feeling Changez will have a tough time at first but then he will become one of the greatest workers there. I think there will be a big challenge he will face but he will over come it.

I was very frustrated for Changez when reading about how he was trying to make moves towards Erica after such a long time but she constantly denied it saying that she wants it to be chris. I dislike how Changez is still into her after all of this between them. I believe at some point he will move on and find a better woman that he deserves.

Changez being a Muslim during this time in America was hard due to 9/11. This makes me think he will have a tough time in new york then and this will end up affecting him mentally since he cares dearly about his home. I don't believe he should face any criticism but I have a strong feeling he won't be welcomed there.

I was trying to figure out who Changez while I was reading the book. I understood he was a man from Pakistan and chose to talk with an american he has never met before. I was shocked to read about how he attended Princeton and never had a grade lower than an A. I am curious and engaged on learning more on why he decided to come to the US.
