The piece that I found most challenging is the interview. I have never been a very good writer and the interview format was very new for me. Obviously this made it a lot harder for me to be able to write this piece well. Eventually I did not have a lot of trouble but it did end up quite a problem for me.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
I was surprised to find out that such an intelligent scholar was born in a simple middle class family. Karl Marx’s full name was Karl Heinrich Marx and he was bron in Trier, in the Kingdom of Prussia’s province of the Lower Rhine. He was the third of seven children of Hienrich and Hienrietta; Sophie and Hermann were older than Karl while Henriette, Louise, Emilie and Caroline were younger. Karl’s father, Hienrich, was born as a Jew having actually descended from a long line of rabbis. However, because the Prussian authoroties did not allow him to practice law as a Jew, Hienrich had to baptise and become Christian so that he could continue practicing law. He not only changed his religion but also had to change his name from Herschel Mordechai to Hienrich Marx. Karl’s marriage also seemed to be an interesting subject, but I wanted to hear that from the horses mouth itself.
This paragraph was one of the hardest for me.
