Ellen Degeneres, Walt Disney, And Atticus Finch

Decent Essays
If I had the opportunity to invite three other people over to a dinner, I would invite, Ellen Degeneres, Walt Disney, and Atticus Finch. I would make sure that I had the time set aside to talk to each one individually, so I could ask questions and congratulate them for a job well done. If I could sit down right now and have a conversation with Atticus Finch, I would, without a doubt, ask him how hard it was to defend a person of color, during the time of segregation. I would also ask him how he felt afterward, was he upset? disappointed? angry? I would also want to know if by looking at the society today, is he happy with the way people of color are being treated?

She isn't afraid of being who she is. When she believes in something she lets everyone know, and if someone doesn't like it she does not care. She partners up with so many big companies, and always invites people who do great things that don't get any recognition onto her show, just so she can tell them how much of a great job they did. Every October she raises money for breast cancer, and she always makes sure that she is raising money for such great causes. She doesn't only give back, but she is also a great businesswoman, who has worked extremely hard to get where she is today. She markets herself and stood strong even after being kicked off her original show after coming out as gay. If I had the chance to sit down with Ellen DeGeneres I would talk to her about, how she feels when she gives back, and ask her if she ever thought she would become this popular for such a little, but amazing thing.

As far as the menu is concerned I would provide food, from both the past and the present. This would give both Atticus Finch and Walt Disney a chance to try food they might have never been able to try before. While it also gives Ellen DeGeneres the chance to try food from the past, she has never probably tried before either. I would cook stewed prunes, and creamed chicken for both Atticus Finch and Walt Disney to represnt the past. While I cooked something like Hamburgers, and hot dogs to represnt the present food
