When Changez is in Manila, he's praised heavily for his work. I'm happy for Changez because all of his hard work is starting to pay off and his coworkers are noticing the effort he puts into his job. As I kept reading however, I am sad to see that Changez found pleasure in the events of 9/11. My view of Changez has changed and I am starting to dislike him. I am still excited to read further and see what happens next.

I really enjoy reading this book. It has been very interesting and I really like how the author writes in a way that tells the story from Changeze's perspective. I am still very curious how Erica and her relationship with Changez will develop as the story goes on. It is also really cool to see that Changez is doing well at his new job. I can't wait to keep reading and learn more about Changez and his life in America.

It is very interesting to me how Changez is explaining a story to the American and the American keeps getting distracted or is constantly disengaging. This shows me that the American that Changez is treating with respect is not giving him respect back. I feel like Changez is a very respectful, hard working, and determined person. I am very excited to read further so that I can learn more about Changez and Erica.

So far, this book has been interesting. The author, Mohsin Hamid, is writing in a way that only tells the reader what Changez is saying for most of the first ten pages. I have never read a book where only the main character's voice is heard. It was shocking to me that even when Changez was in a conversation, the author only wrote his responses and not what the other person was saying and I am excited to read more.
