Furthermore‚ Jordan clearly grows in his dying moments. At the beginning‚ his only fear is “of not doing my duty as I should” (FWTBT‚ 91). Hemingway demonstrates Jordan’s knowledge of his fate when Pilar reads his palm (FWTBT‚ 33) and her discussion about the smell of death (FWTBT‚ 254-256). Surrounded by his fate‚ Jordan faces his futile duty without hope. He is alone and an island‚ yet at death he tells Maria‚ “But I go with thee. As long as there is one of us there is both of us” (FWTBT‚ 463)

To what extent do you think ‘The Kite Runner’ presents a thoroughly depressing picture of life in Afghanistan? I believe that The Kite Runner does present quite a depressing picture of life in Afghanistan‚ the first thing coming to mind being the rape of Hassan by some local boys. The boys justified this obscene act by referring to Hassan as “just a Hazara‚” displaying the ultimately racist attitude that Sunni Muslims possessed. This gives the impression that Afghanistan is a highly racist place

The Kite Runner‚ written by Khaled Hosseini‚ is a great novel and one that keeps you guessing‚ and guessing wrong‚ after every page. It is a story of two boys who grew up together and were great friends during their childhood. They came from completely different backgrounds‚ but for the most part that did not bother them. The boys shared many memorable childhood memories together‚ and spent most of their lives together. The weird part was that one of the boys was a Hazara servant to the other

In a novel‚ I believe what matters most are the ideas‚ because they introduce themes and symbols which makes the novel more significant‚ as small things such as the kite in “The Kite Runner”‚ by Khaled Hosseini‚ have a greater meaning in the novel and represent themes. In “The Kite Runner”‚ I noticed three symbols: The cleft lip‚ the kite‚ and the lamb. Hassan’s cleft lip is one of his most representative features as a child‚ and is one of the features Amir refers to most describing him; “A Chinese

Khaled Hosseini I feel is a book about redemption. Hassan and Amir are two boys who share the same father‚ but don’t know until they are adults. Amir is part of the ‘higher class’ in Kabul and is treated more or less like royalty‚ hassan is raised as a servant’s son. I like how the two boys are shown acting and playing as brothers as children. I like the way the book shows Amir’s guilt throughout his life. And I feel that the connection made towards the end of the book when Amir finds out that Hassan
