I mention a few dear friends who have a special place in my heart: Nidaa Abu Saymeh, Nadia Abu-Saymeh, Abeer Khanfar, Jehan Zitawi, and Lisa Matson are all true friends who have never failed me. I have always looked up to and aspired to be like my two special English instructors: Mrs. Susan Jarrah and Dr. Fadia Suyoufie.
To Muhammad, Noor, Yousef, and Sara: I love you.
To my father and my mother: May God bless and keep you in good health.
To my brother Issa and my sister Ghadeer: You are the best.
To my dear friends: Thank you for your friendship and for believing in me.
To my distinguished teachers and professors who have provided me with a wealth of information and who have, above all, taught me to have faith in myself: Thank you.
Last but not least, I wish to thank Cambria Press for providing me with the opportunity to publish this work. My special thanks go to Ms. Toni Tan for her guidance and help throughout the entire process.
