Homework for The Kite Runner: For each section assigned in The Kite Runner , select a quote that you consider to be significant and write a Literary Analysis in response to it. Your response should NOT be plot summary. Instead, engage in critical analysis by making a point or argument about the text. Dig deep into the passage and explain its importance, both within the context of the particular scene and the larger scope of the novel. Refer to tone, diction, syntax, and figurative language to build your argument. If relevant, relate your analysis to political, cultural, and social issues facing Afghanistan today in addition to the essential questions for the unit:



How does Hosseini depict the complex relationships between fathers and sons?
How does Hosseini develop Amir's coming of age throughout the novel?
Is there a way to be good again? Is redemption possible? Is it possible to forgive oneself?
Type or hand write your analysis and bring it to class on the day the reading is due.
