Fink's Journey Case Study
First there was Cara Adam's folder with a wild-eyed photo, who's passport reflected her family's upper-class privileged travel. The Fink acknowledged Cara had the cultural intelligence, and could be an asset to his mission.
Regardless, Fink's team had questions.
Why did the Customs agent escort Cara to wait for her delegation with pleasantries, and without no interrogation like the others?
What did she hide from the New Oasis delegation?
Or more importantly, whom did Cara Adams work for?

Next was the soulful determination of Tim Williams, which puzzled Fink's team. Fink would commend Tim's bravery, though unwise.
While, Fink's team feared the worse as they pondered.
Why would Tim step foot in Iraq?
And to the point, why travel to the

But, the most interesting information was the fact that a few had doctored passports, like Cara Adams
Fink's team had theorized a note. Discretely from the Hawkeye dossier, the team had documented this analysis of Senator Kruger. Fink's team knew this would entice their four-star General, like a dog with a bone.
And, once read by their General, he would conclude:
It was time for a chat with the Senator Victor Kruger.

At 7:07AM, General Fink sipped his morning black coffee as he read the compiled dossier for his Chief, while his steaming oatmeal breakfast sat untouched in front of him.
Fink read: The Package has arrived and awaiting orders. Blended perfectly.
Customs assumed nothing.
The General felt gratified.
On the nautical white kitchen cabinet, a muted television re-broadcasted the yesterday's footage of the French Diplomatic team being herded out from their Tehran hotel. In handcuffs, the Iranian police shoved the envoy inside an awaiting van, while a mob chanted as they surrounded it. Out of no where, a French flag appeared. As a lighter begun to torch the flag, ashes fell to the assault. Lastly, the mob stomped on the burning flag. It made his stomach

Tim showed bravery and courage when the tavern was invaded by the rebel troops and his parents were in danger. For example, in the book, My Brother Sam is Dead, it explains how rebel troops were confiscating all weapons from the loyalist, and redding being a tory country, was invaded. Tim walked in on his mother and father being threatened by rebel soldiers and their officer to hand over the weapons, but the only weapon they had was in Sam’s possession . Tim's father explained, “‘I don't have it anymore,’ Father shouted, ‘My loyal son Samuel; stole it to go play soldier boy.’” (C. Collier and J. Collier 50). In fear something would happen to his parents Tim, ran over to Tom Warrups’ where Sam was staying and got ahold of the family gun.

    In Ernest Hemingway’s short story “Hills Like White Elephants,” Hemingway surprisingly engages the reader with ambiguous dialogue and character detail necessitating use of extensive symbolism within the setting to encourage the readers active participation. The glaring lack of key details concerning the characters, an American man and a girl named Jig, and their disjointed conversation provide little real substance to comprehend the conflict at hand. In trying to determine what operation is being discussed this statement provides little clue, “I know you wouldn’t mind it, Jig. It’s really not anything. It’s just to let the air in” (Hemingway 592). If anything this ambiguous statement promotes further confusion. So it is necessary for the reader…

    They got louder and louder. Suddenly, we all heard a gunshot in the air and then the cattle car door opened. Everyone quieted down their conversations. An NKVD officer allowed one person to get out of the cattle car and gather some of the rainwater that began to fall. They handed a young women a bucket. Her child wanted to go with her, but the NKVD officer thrust him back in. She came back with about half of the bucket full. We took turns sipping the water from the bucket, although, some of the people were rather greedy when it came to sharing it. When it was my turn with the bucket I was relieved. It had been 2 days without any water or food. I could taste the lingering smell of personal odors as I drank the water. I drank it anyway, since I had been longing for just a sip. Throughout the rest of the day we all sat quietly in the cattle car. It had only been the second day, but all of us complained about being starving. “I might have as well got used to this if I was going to have to live with it,” I thought to…

    Throughout the film the French try to persuade the native population to quell their rebellion by showing how French occupation has given them “civilization and prosperity.” But this is not true because of the difference in living conditions between the two races of people. Also throughout the film the French refer to the native Algerians as “dirty Arabs,” and “rats.” The dehumanization of the Arabs is also shown when Lieutenant-Colonel Mathieu compares the Arabs to “tapeworms.” It is ironic that the French officer…

    Meursault kills an Arab and is convicted for the murder. While in the courtroom Meursault is asked why he killed the Arab and the only response Meursault could give them was the sun. Meursault said, "I never intended to kill the Arab." The judge replies and Meursault blurted out that it was because of the sun. Meursault told the truth, the sun did affect his judgment. Camus writes, "The sun was starting to burn my cheeks...it was burning, which I couldn't stand anymore, that made me move forward." The Arab gets up and shows his knife. The sun blinded him in two ways, the first was because of the sweat in his eye, the second was because the knife was reflecting the light into Meursault's eyes. Even though Meursault was telling the truth, the courtroom laughed at the reply.…

    “On the last night, with my trunk packed and my car sold to the grocer, I went over and looked at that huge incoherent failure of a house once more. On the white steps an obscene word, scrawled by some boy with a piece of brick, stood out clearly in the moonlight, and I erased it, drawing my shoe raspingly along the stone.

    The only life that had been in Marks flat was growing out of his mugs. The smell of foul mustard and loneliness filled the air of the forbidding suite; with it’s unpainted floor and its small, square windows. To the left of the front door hung a gloomy painting of a crying clown, which was as sad as the sunless sea. Mark left his grim flat, leaving the leaden bed that was as lonely as a whale in the vast ocean. He was slugging through the swarming crowd, as the lights glanced and the seagulls laughed. Mark fell into his dusty car and started the engine, it coughed then started to roll along. The traffic inflamed his temper but he finally arrived at work.…
