I am connecting to Mitch because I had a similar, highly influential mentor, such as he had. Stan Hurley has been a salient mentor in Mitch’s short time with the CIA. Mitch has learned more in these months with Hurley than any previous time in his life. Hurley goes into every little detail, and is the most meticulous man Mitch has ever known. Hurley’s influence on Rapp evokes memories of my former basketball coach, Tim Bergstrasser. Tim was the best and most influential coach I have ever had. He coerced out team to work hard each and every time we practiced and played. Many days, I would wish for a facile practice, but was glad after practice when we worked hard and improved a lot as a team. Bergstrasser is similar to Hurley as well because he used to play college basketball, similar to how Hurley was a CIA assassin when he was younger. I think for someone to be an adequate teacher, they need to have experienced the profession that they are teaching themselves. Also, Bergstrasser is similar to Hurley because he teaches us with many real game situations. Hurley improves his trainees skills by situations they would encounter in a real mission: “Back in the woods of Virginia the idea was to find cover while Hurley fired live shots at you” (Flynn 354). Mitch was adequately prepared for missions, and he would not crumble under pressure because of his relentless training. This is exactly …show more content…
Mitch Rapp takes every action necessary in this novel to take down the people responsible for his girlfriend’s death. He has made large strides as an agent due to Stan Hurley’s advice. The Islamic Jihadists and Russians better beware of this new highly lethal weapon, named Mitch

    Argo: How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled Off the Most Audacious Rescue in History, the historical nonfiction book written by Antonio Mendez and Matt Baglio, brings the reader into the world of deception and espionage. As he describes the events behind the CIA’s pursuit to rescue hostages from Iranian captivity, Mendez utilizes a first-person narrative that helps present the story as historical nonfiction. During the event of the security check at the airport, Mendez’s usage of past tense language must remain in the story to sound historical; however, his personal diction and limited selection of detail develops a genuinely inhibited and professional tone, which would have to change for the section to become dramatized as historical fiction.…

    " The book begins with the assassination of two Supreme Court Justices, by the names of Rosenberg and Jensen. The general populace can see no connection between the two, nor can they speculate as to why either would be killed--Rosenberg was rapidly approaching death by natural causes, and Jensen had never seemed to be too opinionated. The FBI is baffled; the Oval Office is in a state of chaotic stress. The list of suspects seems far too obvious, and proves to be filled with dead-ends. However, Tulane law student Darby Shaw begins an investigation of her own--stirring up whirlpool of suspense and terror.…

She was very inspiring and motivational in her talk with us. She touched down on a few key points as to how she got to her position in athletics as well how to stay there.

    I had remembered watching a documentary about John F. Kennedy’s assassination on the anniversary that he died with my dad. I recalled it being fascinating to me and I knew that it would be the perfect research topic with so many angles and topics I could research about it. The best part of my project was getting to read this Nonfiction novel. When I was reading it, it did not feel like a chore; it was extremely compelling and intense. It was a fairly quick read and I enjoyed it very much; it is the perfect topic. When I began researching it was almost effortless to find information. So many people are inquisitive and curious about this topic as I am. I wanted to write one paragraph about John Kennedy and one about Lee Harvey because they are both such significant parts of the story. The only thing that could have made this project above and beyond would be if I knew the reason why Lee Harvey assassinated John…

That’s right the Fidelity bank in Huxley is nothing more than a friendly place to store your hard earned money. But today at 12:37pm, an unidentified man had walked into the bank shooting the ceiling and eventually the cameras. Police were quickly on the scene and had to shut down part of the highway. With a sawn off 12 gauge shotgun in his hand, the man had hostages and made some outrageous demands. Police say the man wanted a armored vehicle, a better weapon, and bombs to blow up the bank’s safe. The bank’s manager was still out for lunch when the man walked in and no one else in the bank knew the combination. Negotiations were exchanged…

    Assasination Vacation

    When the topic comes to presidential assassins, most people will not use the word amusing and assassins in the same sentence; however; Dan Danbom, a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, proved otherwise and stated that Vowell has succeeded in creating a “humorous” historical context by writing “I can confidently say that Sarah Vowel’s Assassination Vacation is the most amusing book you’ll read this year about presidential assassinations” (Danbom). Sarah Vowel’s purpose of Assassination Vacation is to allow readers to have a look at both sides of history to shed light on the assassins, to reanimate moments lost to history, and to make her book more interesting by using her unique style of writing; although she fails miserably by adding in too much humor and too many personal opinions, she was successful by examining the motive of the assassins, giving analysis to allow readers to look at past and present events, and by using her interesting style of writing to engage readers to continue reading the story.…
