The Reluctant Fundamentalist: The dialogue between Changez and the interlocutor reveals Changez's purpose in America, to imitate and fit in the capitalist culture, and to attain high social status. Additionally, to find his identity. Changez works for the benefit-oriented company, which trains him to cut off the excess fat to reduce the unnecessary expenses, and ignores morality or empathy on the workers. Changez changes his perspective about himself, between people, and among the economic means of understanding. Unfortunately, he encounters the bad time, the 9/11 disaster, which causes him unable to succeed. The tension causes his feeling like an outsider; thus, he forms a wall to cut off any chance to him.
