Wednesday and Friday Lesson

On Wednesday, we looked at 'How Hosseini tells the story in chapter 10' and it followed with a homework. This is a good practice exam question as it looks at all the different points throughout the chapter. Chapter 10 is the 'changing' chapter, where Amir and Baba leave Kabul and Afghanistan to live in America safely. We also learn that the relationship between Baba and Amir has gone 'back to it's old ways', as they are uncomfortable with each other, and Amir cannot stand up to him- "Do you always have to be the hero?"

On Friday, we read Chapter 14, where Amir gets back in touch with Rahim Khan, one of Baba's old friends. When Amir flies to Kabul, he does not still see it as his home. Rahim Khan now also is frail and weak, which mirrors the deterioration of Baba's health in previous chapters.
Homework set was to make two bubble-diagrams of chapter 16 and 17, on 'How Hosseini tells the story in these chapters'.
