The Kite Runner Response Title: The Kite Runner Author: Khaled Hosseini The text The Kite Runner‚ written by Khaled Hosseini‚ incorporates two dominant themes that really stood out to me.

The further I read into the text the more it shocked me because of the actions of Amir and how truly cruel he was to Hassan early on in the text and what his motive was. The attempts for his father’s love and affection was what

The Outsiders Literary Response Recently‚ some young or old black group members would call each other N****. One of the reasons why is because maybe they think that they’re very close friends‚ and the same skin color that it is ok to call them that name. This would sometimes happen by tossing the name around a little bit in jokes‚ but then when they start to use it towards their friends. The person wouldn’t care since their good friends. If a random person called someone a N*****‚ and they didn’t

I have chosen to write my response on the fact that John Proctor has committed adultery with Abigail. I believe that John does not sincerely mean sorry for cheating on his wife Elizabeth. I think this because if he really meant it then he would be begging for her forgiveness and not just saying sorry and it is over now. Also if he really meant it then he would have an actual conversation about the situation and would like to hear her opinion on the problem. Elizabeth has said that she ¨forgives

These lenses determine how we use our senses to interpret the world and ultimately influences how we go through the world. Why do we all have different lenses? Wouldn’t we understand each other better if we saw the same thing the same way? Probably‚ but what fun would that be? Living life according to the same things another person does. Wouldn’t you want to see something special? This very important concept

“Night” by Elie Wiesel – Personal Responses Chapter 1 • Moché the Beadle’s story is very disturbing. He had experienced horrible atrocities and risked his life to warn his fellow townspeople. However‚ the latter did not believe him yet alone listen to him. They called him the madman. This passage is hard for the reader‚ who knows what is going to happen to the Jews later on (situational irony). Moché was also foreshadowing what was going to happen to the Jews. This warning also brings about the
