Arriving in Paris a kidnapper scout named Peter offers to share a cab with them. At the apartment, Kim the 17 year old discovers the cousins who where suppose to be but they are not. While calling her father, she discovers Amanda being kidnapped by intruders. Her father tells her to go to the nearest room and hide under the bed and he gives her specific instructions on what to do next. The men go into the room and kidnap her as well. The intruders got onto the phone and her father said “I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money (insolvent). But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you”. The kidnapper says “good luck” and the phone was soon destroyed. He wanted clemency on his daughter that had just been taken. He was an exemplary CIA agent that not a lot of people can do.

He was totally appalled by the fact that his daughter has just been taken and he only has 96 hours to find her until she is gone forever. Those people where very negligent against his daughter.

    In 2010, Laura Hillenbrand released a brilliant tribute to a resilient national hero, Louis “Louie” Zamperini, whose story was not widely known at the time.

In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    Patricia Cornwell, a famous writer, once said, that “I believe the root of all evil is the abuse of power”. To receive power in one’s life, they bring out strong emotions, such as fear or guilt to persuade the person to obey their commands.

There is no one simple answer to this question because, honestly it going to be different for different readers based on their individual taste and writing style preference. In fact, some people will simply love a book, while others may hate it. Since authors realistically cannot satisfy every single type of reader, the book is bound to receive mixed reviews. Interpreting literature is a process because as the text suggests, “As receivers, our challenge is to make sense of what the authors send us.” (WEAL, 9) In order, to truly enjoy a…
