I am going to try and use correct puncutation in this blog, just in case it is read out again :) full stop.
So, again, enjoyed reading and analysing The Kite Runner and, having done the homework, have enjoyed that too (ish). I particularly enjoyed learning about the 'narrative circle', as I had actually never heard of this phrase before. I always find it really interesting learning how people's lives have turned out, in real-life and in books. When I first read the book, I was very intrigued as to how Amir's life would turn out. In this chapter, we finally get to know. His wife is described as having 'the face of a Grand Ball princess' and having 'bird-in-flight eyebrows and nose'. I think this simile is amaaazing because I can imagine exactly what she would look like from that and it really brings me into the story.
It is clear this 'second part' of the book is about redepmtion and there being 'a way to be good again', after the first half of the book has been about Amir's sin. This is something I worked out after I'd read the book, but being the eng lit analyists we are, we have worked it out before the end, yay.
