Analysis Paper 2
For the analysis paper 2, I would like to conduct two interviews with my friend, Carmen (not her real name). Carmen and I have been good friends since the first year in junior school, so we are quite closed to each other. Now she is 23 years old, and she studies Hotel Management in University of Washington. She did her bachelor degree in China, and she came to United States in September, 2012.
I chose her for my interview is because of three reasons. First, she is a Chinese, and now by studying in United Stated, she intends to extend her stay. Second, she is a lesbian, which is not really common in China. Last but not least, we use same language and share same culture background, so I can understand her easily.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of Chinese immigrants numbered approximately 3.8 million by 2011. The Chinese American community is the largest overseas Chinese community in North America, closely followed by the Chinese communities in Canada and Mexico

ANALYSIS PAPER 1: PENNY-The BIG BANG THEORY
I have chose Penny from The Big Bang Theory as the character in my first analysis paper.
The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom, premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007.The show is centered on five characters: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two physicists employed at the California Institute of Technology ; Leonard and Sheldon’s equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers, aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali; and Penny, a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall.
The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny’s social skills and common sense.
In contrast to the rest of the group, Penny is not well-educated or savvy in a specific technical field, but she has great social skills and is very knowledgeable about pop culture.She is also messy and disorganized, but appears to like it that way.
Below is a video about Penny from Season 1.
