My paper will be over the community if Springfield, specifically, its diversity. In my paper it will require me to interview many individuals. Some of whom I will do are; Alaa, a Muslim American, Abdullah, a Muslim foreign exchange student, Donna, a Ukrainian women with a family. Dates are a little up in the air right now, but I have one interview done from Majed, a Saudi foreign exchange student. I am hoping a positive image if Springfield will arise but it may come out negative. Culture will be a big theme, and I have certain historic events; the hanging in the square and the anti-pagan rise up. Problems that may occur during interviews is if the interviewee becomes uncomfortable, or a topic is reached that they don't want to talk about. I find this topic personally meaningful because being Muslim, I am part of the diversity in Springfield. If I can't manage this topic, because it is so expansive, I will just focus in on the Muslim community in Springfield.
