Hello,I am actually writing an essay about peoples ideas on the American dream and societies impact on it. In order to write the essay I have to interview 3 people. Considering I live in Oregon and am only getting a west coast perspective I was wondering if you would be able to respond to these questions. If you don’t have time that is perfectly alright. Also, if you feel any of the questions are too personal that is completely fine. It was just that I get a copy of The Daily Free Press everyday by e-mail, because I’m looking at BU as a future school, and I was hoping someone from there would be able to give me a response for my paper. Thank you for your time. And I would like to add, your paper is awesome, and you have alot of good writers. -Emily Hemson- you can reply to- EmilyHemson4@hotmail.com Interview- Name:
