THE KITE RUNNER

I HAVE NOT FINISHED THE ENTIRE BOOK, BUT SO FAR IT IS GREAT.

ROLE OF WOMEN- I HAVEN'T NOTICE IN ROLES OF WOMEN IN THE STORY.

BETRAYAL- I WOULD SAY IS WHEN AMIR DIDN'T STAND UP FOR HASSAN WHEN ASSEF WAS ABOUT TO TAKE HIS MANHOOD AWAY FROM AND WHILE AMIR WAS WATCHING FROM THE ALLEY.

BROTHERS- THE IS A BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN AMIR AND HASSAN BECAUSE THE FEED FROM THE SAME BREAST.

GUILT-AMIR IS SUFFERING WITH GUILT BECAUSE IF HE HAD ONLY STOPPED ASSEF FROM RAPPING HASSAN. AND GUILT BETWEEN HIM AND HIS FATHER BECAUSE SINCE AMIR MOTHER DIED WHEN GIVING BIRTH TO HIM HE FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THAT AND NOT BE ABLE TO PLEASE HIS FATHER.

FATHERS & SONS- EVEN THOUGH BABA AND AMIR RELATIONSHIP ISN'T SO PLEASANT MOST FATHER WANTED THEIR SON TO BE MORE LIKE THEM AND HAVE SOME OF THE SAME CHARACTERISTIC OF AS THEY WERE KIDS. BUT AMIR WAS DIFFERENT FROM HIS FATHER IN MANY WAYS THAT'S WHY HIS FATHER SOMETIMES FELT ASHAMED BECAUSE AMIR HAD NONE OF HIS QUALITIES.

FORESHADOWING- IS WHEN AMIR WENT LOOKING FOR HASSAN AND WHEN HE SAW HIM HE THOUGHT ASSEF WERE GOING TO BEAT HIM WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES. INSTEAD WHEN HE START TAKING DOWN HIS PANTS AND HAVING HIS FRIENDS TO HOLD HIM DOWN LEAD US TO KNOW THAT ASSEF WAS GOING TO RAPE HIM.

SETTING- AFGHANISTAN AND THE WINTER 1975
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HAZARA AND PASHTUN WAS THE PASHTUN WERE HIGHER THAN THE HAZARA AND MAJORITY HAZARA WERE SERVANTS OF THE PASHTUN. THE PASHTUN DRESSED MORE FASHIONABLE THAN THE HAZARA.
TO ME YOU CAN RELATE IT TO SEGREGATION TIMES WHEN WHITES RULED OVER BLACKS AND THE WHITES WHO ASSOCIATE WITH THE BLACKS WAS DUE TO THAT THEY WERE THEIR SERVANTS.

5 SYMBOLS- KITES- THE REPRESENTATION OF AFGHANISTAN AND THE FIGHT BETWEEN THEM

FEED FROM THE SAME BREAST- WAS THE BROTHERHOOD THEY SHARED

RAPE- WAS THE LOSS OF INNOCENCE AND THE LOSS OF FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN AMIR AND HASSAN.

Compare/ Contrast

Having both of one’s parents versus none can have a major impact on one’s life. My parents have been a great inspiration in my life. When having support from both of my parents helped established a great foundation in my life. It does not matter how they both differently expressed their way of love towards me. All that matters is through the encouragement, discipline, and love it had a great impact on me it also helped me to strive for the best and to be the one to stand out for amongst others.
My parents have been great role models for me. Their determination and encouragement has empowered me into the persistent woman I am now. My dad encouraged me in everything I did, even if it was a small matter. Whatever I set my mind to do and accomplished it he was satisfied. He would always encourage me about the things I did well in or what I needed improvement on. He was just like a shadow, every step I took he was right there to follow. He made sure I took every opportunity there was for advancement, that life had to offer. On the other hand, my mom showed silent encouragement. Through all my accomplishments she would always wait until I accomplished them to give me honor. Never when going through did she admire or comfort me to let me know I doing great. She always would observe to see if I was capable of making it. I would question myself sometimes “does she believe in me or is she waiting on me to fail. One day I came to realize that my mother wasn’t so much of an emotional person; she really did express her feeling. She wanted to see if her children could stand on their own without any accolade from others. Her silence motivated me, even the more to establish a great life for myself. Through it all I made by keeping an open and positive mind about the obstacles life can offer.
Without discipline there is no order. Being disciplined helps set standards and structure in people’s lives. Without being disciplined by my parents, I do not think I would have been very successful as I am today. Both had different methods of chastisement. My father’s punishment was much stricter than my mother’s. When I would be rebellious I would rather for my mom to punish me rather than my father. Because it seemed like my life was coming to a end, but I am very much grateful for it today. The difference about my dad punishment was not only that I got punished, but he also would lecture to me for hours about understanding why what I had done was wrong. Today I reminisce on the times when he would lecture, but I didn’t want to hear it. It all really helped me after all. Mom was not very strict, punished where it would hurt me at my privileges. Every opportunity to have fun would be revoked when I did something wrong. I remember when I was in junior high, and my mom had told me I could not talk to boys on the telephone, but I did anyway. Instead of being obedient I did it anyway, until I got caught. That night she picked up the phone, when she did my heart dropped because I knew she was coming. I thought she was coming to beat me, but I had another thing coming. She came in and took my phone and said I couldn’t talk on the phone for a month. That really did hurt because I loved a telephone and there was nothing that could keep me off one until then. Chastisement from my can be difficult too especially when I had a popular social life. When I had things going on that I really enjoyed I tried not to get into any trouble. Beside it still was better than getting in trouble by my dad.
Love is emotions and experiences related to affection and it is something everyone seeks I know my parents love me because they showed it through establishing a great life for me. Love can be expressed physically and mentally. My dad tells me all the time he loves me, but my mom expresses it through what she does for me. Before I would leave home I would always tell my dad I love him. To my mom I would just say “hey I gone”. When I would have problems in life my father would comfort me and tell me which direction to go in, but my mother would just say it will be okay. They both had different ways of expressing love, but it wasn’t a problem for me. I knew that both of them love me I just had to understand people’s way of expressing it.
Each individual is different some can have the same morals, but express them differently. My parents are both loving and kind. I am very thankful to have them in my life. Being able to understand how different people can be is hard. I learned to love and understand my mom and dad in spite of the love the showed. I knew they only wanted the best and expressed it through how they were taught. It took much hard work and persistence through it all they did great. They raise a smart, beautiful, and intelligent young lady.
