Journal One Khaled Hosseini marvelously captivated me with the opening pages of his international bestseller The Kite Runner. The mystery of what occurred on the “frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975” and the first person narration creates an enticing first chapter.

He first references this technique when Teddy is standing in the train tracks but brings it up again when the train is coming towards them while on the bridge‚ when the boys are walking down the tracks in the morning after they sleep in the woods‚ and again when they’re making the trek back home.
