How does Hosseini present the character of Amir in Chapters 1-9? The first nine chapters of the novel show us Amir as a boy growing up in Kabul with his very wealthy father and a friend who clearly adores him. However Amir also displays character traits which show him to be a very flawed character. He is very selfish and displays cowardice on regular occasions.

In the novel Great Expectations‚ the author Charles Dickens uses the first person narrative throughout the novel. The first person narrative is the main character‚ Pip.

JOE WILSON’S COURTSHIP - HENRY LAWSON STRUCTURE This story uses first person narrative to explore an important humanist approach to courtship. It is best described as a story sketch as it provides good developed characters and a story that develops through a non-linear first person narrative.

The opening of the kite runner The opening December 2001 I became what I am at the age of 12‚ on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975.

That was a long time ago‚ but it’s wrong what they say about the past‚ I’ve learned‚ about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now‚ I realise I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six

Stephen Katz. The book expresses a very unique and distinct account of what hiking a trail entails. Unlike other travel books‚ especially nature books‚ Bryson depicts a rather humorous experience. Through his use of dialogue‚ lists‚ defined first person narrative‚ and sarcasm‚ Bryson brings to us a completely different idea of what being stranded in nature is truly like.

THE CHRYSALIDS CORE ASSIGNMENT John Wyndhams science fiction novel‚ ’The Chrysalids’ is an enjoyable yet perturbing novel. In my opinion the main them o the novel is the dangers of believing political ideas are more important than individuals. It is necessary to discuss aspects of style in order to show how effective it is. The story is about a young boy called David who finds out he has telepathic abilities. The rest of the story is al about David growing up and trying to hide his difference in
