The Kite Runner By Katniss: A Narrative Fiction
Katniss woke up to a Blinding light. Once her Vision clear she saw 50 or so boys crowding around the hole she was in. An Ivy rope dropped down and she climbed up. All of them were taken aback when they saw her. “A girl?” some whispered. She looked at them all confused. She scanned the crowd that had formed around her. She saw 1 familiar face, yet she couldn’t remember his name. Katniss realized she couldn’t remember how she got here or why she was here. Suddenly she started to panic. Katniss pushed her way through the crowd and broke into a sprint, heading towards what looked like an exit. She looked back and saw that the crowd was stunned, but the familiar one started chasing after her. She sprinted faster and faster, she almost reached the exit, but he crashed into her. Both of them …show more content…
“Yeah maze, what’s out there” Thomas motioned to the exit she was running towards. “Is the maze. The rest of the Gladers have been trying to solve it for 2 years now” “and you haven’t found anything, like an exit?” “Yep” “Anyway, what do you remember about the world?” “Well… We lived in a dictatorship and every year we had something called the Hunger Games” “It’s a battle to the death over a couple days” “We get thrown into the wild and we have to survive and be the last one standing” “They take 2 tributes (people) from each district, there are 12 districts by the way” “Sounds brutal” “It is, I survived one, barely” “What’s the maze like” She asked Thomas. “Well the Maze changes every night and these things called grievers come out, they are like guards you could say, keeping us in this prison” He motioned to the Glade. Thomas looked down at his watch. “It’ll be dinner soon, we’ll let ya out if you promise not to run off again” “Deal, I’m starving”.

    Why is it that when a book gets it’s own movie that there are several differences between the book and the movie? Some people argue that the book is always better than the movie. There is a reason for this. Firstly, in most book to movie adaptations small details are changed or are just not included. Secondly, the movie often takes short cuts and doesn’t touch on certain aspects that were described in the book. Lastly, when reading a book you are free to make your own subtext and fill in the blanks with your imagination. The movie adaptations of books have always lacked the detail that's in the book, some things are completely cut from the movie to maintain a well paced story, and it fills in the gaps for us making the experience less unique.…

He lived a lavish life with his father, Baba, and their servant, Ali and his son Hassan. Hassan and Amir grew up together and were almost like brothers, however Ali and Hassan belonged to the religious minority group, the Shias, and Baba and Amir, Sunni Muslims, superior.

    I believe the source of Amir’s power is in his ethnicity because he was born in a higher class. I also believe that Hassan had some power since he was the son of Baba. Throughout the book, you can see that Hassan had lived a plight free life. Amir would always scoff at Hassan about literature even though Hassan is unschooled. Hassan always stayed loyal although I would think he would feel animosity towards Hassan. I also think that Hassan’s passive ways have power over Amir. Amir hates that he cannot undo what he did, or have Hassan deal the same pain unto him. This makes Amir feel bad because he knows that he has hurt Hassan. While Hassan doesn't hurt Amir back, Amir is handling things in a pragmatic way. Amir’s goal was to get rid of Hassan.…

    From the start and through his death, Hassan remains the same: loyal, forgiving, and good-natured. Hassan grew up with a very particular role in life. He prepares Amir’s breakfast and collects his books while Amir gets ready for school. Rather than going to school as well, Hassan stays and helps his father, Ali, get groceries and complete their chores. Instead of receiving his education, he stays home and lives as a servant to those richer than he. Hassan learns early on in life that it is his duty to sacrifice himself for others. As a result of growing up this way, Hassan is not prone to envy and is even happy with the way he lives; the life he has. Even after a traumatic, violent past, he remains innocent from the beginning and to the end of his life. There is no way for Hassan to become ‘good again’ because he had never been bad. Hassan’s ability to suffer without becoming bitter, his integrity, and what his character truly shows us that there is no way for him…

    In the years 1972 to 2002 many political events that happened in Afghanistan affected the lives of those who lived there. Afghanistan has a complicated history, including migrations, trades, and invasions from the outsiders. The area connects with China, Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia. Years of political sudden change and war has brought starvation, poverty, and long lasting privation (Countries & their Cultures). The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini carried a strong message throughout the book of what happened in Afghanistan and how the people felt.. A few important events that occurred during this time that the novel was set in were when the tribal groups first weakened by the central government, when the Taliban group took over and the militia groups fought which resulted in making Afghanistan unsafe, and finally the group once again making the country threatening by controlling the people by making laws.…

    The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossenini deals primarily with the theme of guilt and redemption and subtly approaches the correlations between religion and violence through these main themes. The novel centers on the relationship between the narrator Amir and his friend/servant Hassan and Amir’s guilt when he witnesses an act of violence done to Hassan that he fails to intervene in. This personal conflict ties into the narrator’s experiences with religion as he attempts to redeem himself. Through this aspect of the novel, we can see the personal journey of finding the true Self through traumatic experience and the dichotomy of religion as a tool to explain suffering and violence as well as a justification for violence.…

    Usually when you tell someone you don’t want to do something, you expect them to just understand and walk away. Even though I had been asked multiple times if I had read “The Hunger Games” the answer was still no. And then I continued on saying that I didn’t want to read it...ever. It had become too popular and I just wasn’t interested in joining the great phenomenon that was “The Hunger Games.” I didn’t see the point. That was my stubborn attitude about the subject until my eleventh birthday when I received a gift I wasn’t expecting.…

Reading and anticipating The Hunger Games trilogy and its upcoming movie is, during which my grandmother was sick, something I clung too. You see I have never been a major fan of anything. I mean Taylor Swift is an idol of mine but I’m not running to the nearest store to buy her CDs or items. But this fan base love for the book and movie almost drove my family insane.…
