Recently‚ Angela Meryl took some time to answer a few questions about her career‚ and although we barely scratched the surface of the amazing work she has done‚ I am pleased to be able to share a bit about Angela‚ who contentedly works in a profession

Hosseini makes his opening to The Kite Runner interesting by using a range of techniques. In the opening to this story: The Kite Runner‚ Khaled Hosseini writes it in the first person; making up a character called Amir.

Although the phrase‚ “thin line between love and hate” is commonly accepted as truth‚ I strongly disagree. Most people interpret this phrase as meaning that love and hate are so alike that you can hate someone or thing one second and love them the next‚ and vice-versa.

I use to dream about a seemingly endless skyscraper. At the top of the building‚ there would be people who’ve made it. Those who rose beyond judgement of others‚ and learned to appreciate their shortcomings to find the freedom that exist at the top. Getting there isn’t easy; the only way up are stairs as endless as the building. Many people don’t make it‚ but up there‚ there’s a plaque with my name on it.
