I believe Rahmani’s Intellectual Home consists of People, Places, and Processes. I believe People and places have a big impact on Rahmani. At the beginning of this essay, Rahmani was impassive to his college career; he came off as showing no type of effort during his first semester at City Tech College. In the third paragraph, Rahmani states “My first month of college passed in this depressed state. I was completely indifferent to anything and everything”. Rahmani states he was completely uninterested. It could be due to the fact Rahmani felt he wasn’t being challenged in his classes since he was unable to pick his schedule and the classes he would rather join as stated in paragraph two. Rahmani continues to speak on how he felt no one in his classes attended the class because of interest but for the simple fact of passing. I believe Rahmani became a part of this depressive cycle because he saw the lack of effort from not only students but professors. However, the next semester Rahmani’s view on the City Tech and the classes changed drastically. During his English class, they discuss the short story “Cat in the Rain” By Ernest Hemingway. Rahmani thought he would have to answer all the questions because of the lack of effort from his classmates. He was amazed when a girl shared her views on the short story. Her perspective completely differed from his but he loved that. It impressed him so much more when more students started to share their thoughts on the short story. Towards the end of the story, Rahmani felt like his perspective on City Tech was wrong. There were people that wanted to share their ideas as much as him. This is where he felt like he belonged.
