Oral History Project Interviews aren’t overly interesting when you’ve known the interviewee for all your college and adult life. When you hang out with someone half of every single week you tend to learn a lot about them. Most of the questions I could think of I already knew the answer to and had for a couple of years. I planned and worked out a good thirty or forty questions but, again, most of them I could answer myself, since again we’ve known each other for such a long time. My planning…

My Misconception of Jordan The Middle East was nothing like I experienced it to be. I was expecting to see women fully covered from head to toe and very poor areas. Although that type of lifestyle does exist in the Middle East, I rarely saw it. In the Middle East, I stayed in Amman, Jordan.

two groups of people. Numerous people contend that the "two-state solution" of creating an independent Palestinian state next to Israel would be the best way to deal with the situation. Various other people oppose a two-state solution for different reasons. For instance, some are against the creation of a Palestinian state, and others are against the existence of Israel itself.
