Contemplating
I went to google the most influential people of the 20th century in order to get some ideas. I wanted to search more before I made a final decision though. Time's List of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century -
Facebook help?
I went on to facebook and asked all of my friends who they were choosing for inspiration. I had no luck though! Their ideas were Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs. -
Pot roast leads to pot luck!
While I was eating dinner with my family, I asked my mom and her boyfriend what they thought. They gave me their book, The Lone Survivor, and I knew it was the right decision. -
It's a good thing ther's online articles to read!
While our class was in the library, I worked on the computer to find articles on Marcus Lutrell. I found some Fox news reports and an artical in the Washington Post. -
You never know until you try!
When I was researching Marcus Luttrell, I had seen he had a facebook fanpage which was run by him. I decided to write on his wall to explain the project and ask for an interview. -
Fifth times the charm!
I filmed my blog for the homework assaignment "How I Choose My Subject". This took me five tries because my little brother and sister kept coming in and interrupting me. -
A reply
Marcus Luttrell emailed me back and agreed to give me the interview! I was so thrilled. -
A kind reminder
I re-messaged Marcus because I had not heard from him since the last time he had messaged me. He quickely replied that he was on a speaking tour so we did an arrangement to do a phone interview. I messaged him the questions I would ask. -
My 2nd Blog
I reread the article "Heroes in Literature" and wrote a blogpost that was based on Jean val Jean from the book A Tale of Two Cities. -
First Chapter Friday
I went through the first chapters I had read of The Lone Survivor and found the most meaningful paragraph to me. -
Finshed the book!
Today I finished the book the Lone Survivor! -
Phone Interview
Using two iphones, I called Marcus Luttrell and we had an interview of ten questions. It was really nice to actually speak to him.
