Grendel and Bin Laden differed because Grendel actually carried out his attack himself. However, Laden provided the blueprint for the attack for others to perform. Laden’s attackers were trained pilots with one goal; their intention was to successfully fly the designated passenger aircraft into its target.

The character that I identify with most would be Paul Rusesabagina. Paul Rusesabagina was the manager of a Rwandan hotel called the Milles Collines. He tells his story about the genocide in Rwanda during 1994. I picked Mr. Rusesabagina because it is his autobiography and he is telling the story.
