I went to google the most influential people of the 20th century in order to get some ideas. I wanted to search more before I made a final decision though. Time's List of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century

I went on to facebook and asked all of my friends who they were choosing for inspiration. I had no luck though! Their ideas were Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs.

While I was eating dinner with my family, I asked my mom and her boyfriend what they thought. They gave me their book, The Lone Survivor, and I knew it was the right decision.

While our class was in the library, I worked on the computer to find articles on Marcus Lutrell. I found some Fox news reports and an artical in the Washington Post.
-
When I was researching Marcus Luttrell, I had seen he had a facebook fanpage which was run by him. I decided to write on his wall to explain the project and ask for an interview.
-
I filmed my blog for the homework assaignment "How I Choose My Subject". This took me five tries because my little brother and sister kept coming in and interrupting me.
-
Marcus Luttrell emailed me back and agreed to give me the interview! I was so thrilled.
-
I re-messaged Marcus because I had not heard from him since the last time he had messaged me. He quickely replied that he was on a speaking tour so we did an arrangement to do a phone interview. I messaged him the questions I would ask.
-
I reread the article "Heroes in Literature" and wrote a blogpost that was based on Jean val Jean from the book A Tale of Two Cities.
-
I went through the first chapters I had read of The Lone Survivor and found the most meaningful paragraph to me.
-
Today I finished the book the Lone Survivor!

Using two iphones, I called Marcus Luttrell and we had an interview of ten questions. It was really nice to actually speak to him.
