Wednesday 10/11/2010

Yes, I am posting this blog a little late, however I really haven't had the time to blog since Wednesday and at least I'm blogging now.

So, on Wednesdays lesson, we looked at the different voices in chapter 17 of The Kite Runner which were Amir, Hassan and Rahim Khan. I was particularly interested in the voice of Hassan, how his voice was expressed through letters to Amir. It seemed his confidence in writing and his intelligence shown in the letter how he has grown up and developed, yet as the letters are described to be 'childlike' his innocence has not been lost.

I was also interested in Rahim Khan's reactions and emotion when it comes to telling Amir that Hassan, his illegitimate half brother, has been shot dead. He is emotionless, and it can be ambiguous as to why he is so non challant about it. Perhaps because he is so used to the violence in Kabul that he is used to things like this happening, or perhaps he is numb to the idea of losing Hassan.

Now, I am going to have lunch. As Fiona would say, Toodles.
