Soraya’s Moral Development Soraya Taheri is one of Khaled Hosseini’s characters in The Kite Runner‚ who represents what a true woman and wife should be like. She is an example of Kohlberg’s classification of three levels of moral development in humans. Even though there is not a lot of information in the novel given about Soraya‚ her personality can be reviewed based on her behavior throughout the story. The reader first meets with Soraya in chapter 11‚ when she is working at a flea market. Her

Comparing and Contrasting Works by Kundera and Khaled Hosseini The unbearable lightness of being was published in Paris in 1984 by Czech author Milan Kundera. The novel is a mix of genre-defying mix of historical fiction‚ love stories‚ philosophy‚ and experimentation with narrative technique. Set mostly in Prague in the late 1960s‚ the novel focuses on the love lives of four Czech intellectuals as they struggle with relationships‚ sex‚ politics‚ and the military occupation of their country.

C.S Lewis starts off with narrating the main events of his childhood that formed how he thought and acted. Of course the beginning is the character of his parents‚ which he humorously contrasts – emotional and vivacious father‚ calm and rational mother. Other elements are his inclination towards imagining‚ drawing‚ and writing instead of sports due to a missing knuckle in his thumb‚ the turbulence caused by the death of his mother and calm stability‚ the consequential growth in friendship and camaraderie

respect and love for his best friend. The parallelism of Amir and Hassan’s last kite flight together and Amir and Sorab’s first kite flight together shows that Amir’s and Hassan’s friendship never died. In the final scene of the novel‚ Amir yells to Sohrab‚ “for a thousand times over” (391). This statement proves that Amir has become loyal to Hassan. The past clearly dictates who one is in the future‚ and the previous actions of Amir have taught him to accept his betrayal and account for it in the

`Of Mice and Men‚ and To Kill a Mockingbird; what do these novels have in common? Both show childlike innocence‚ and how it is annihilated in society by adults. However‚ Khaled Hosseini‚ author of The Kite Runner‚ thinks the exact opposite. His novel encompasses the topic of growing up‚ and how it is fueled by making and fixing mistakes that prompt mature decisions in the future. Throughout the novel‚ Khaled Hosseini depicts coming of age through the main character‚ Amir‚ a boy living in Afghanistan

Though The Kite Runner has not had as much time to age into being called a “classic” like To Kill a Mockingbird or The Great Gatsby‚ I argue that yes this book should be brought to classic status. Time be damned! Classics are novels that have received acclaim from the critics as well as the readers‚ as well as well known. Classics dive into raw and sometimes taboo topics and the author uses a unique style of writing. Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner should be brought to classic status‚ literally
