The Kite Runner has many flaws but also strengths that make this book such an emotional and inspiring book to read. One thing I really liked about the book was how the author used a lot of literary devices which made the reading experience more fun and these devices allowed me as a reader to better understand and connect with the characters and the plot. I personally love reading books with literary devices but more specifically with symbolism. Throughout the book, the author has used a lot of symbolism to make the book have more of a meaning. To me, it was fun trying to find out what word had a symbolic meaning. The author uses the kite as a symbolic meaning to describe Amir’s happiness but at the same time, his guiltiness. When Amir was a

Amir decides to not fly a kite ever again, but does with Sohrab (Hassan’s son) at the end of the book due to him finally redeeming himself. Finally, the kite has no longer a symbolic meaning of his guilt but instead, the kite’s new symbolic meaning is Amir’s happiness and connection with Sohrab. Furthermore, the kite had a very strong symbolic meaning which made the book such an impactful and heartwarming book. Furthermore, another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. Throughout the book, the author uses a lot of foreshadowing to give clues but also to make a reader feel a dramatic tension. This makes the reader want to read the book even more and finish it. One example is on page 122 when Amir says: “So this is where Baba dies,” I thought. “This is how it’s going to happen.” I love this example of foreshadowing because this quote shows how fearless Baba is and he will stand up no matter what and will not stand anything wrong. But at the same time, Baba is very stubborn even after Amir tells him to sit down but he doesn’t due to his stubbornness. The quote foreshadows that Baba’s bravery and stubborness will be the reason to why he will …show more content…
The author uses different personalities in the character making the book unique. One character particularly that I love in the book is Baba. In the book, Baba’s personality is unique and shown as a brave man who is very selfless. His personality is very strong throughout the book but especially in one particular scene where he stands up against a Russian soldier and saves a woman from being raped. He could’ve been like others who stayed quiet and let the girl be raped but instead he stood up for her and even after the Russian soldier threatened to shoot and kill Baba, he didn’t give up and fought until justice was served for that woman. Baba is a very selfless man who always puts his family before him and even treats his servants not less than family but equally like family. His personality is very different from the people living around him as he isn’t afraid of doing what’s right which made the book and his character unique and powerful for me. Although the book was powerful, I felt like the book needed to focus on Hassan, instead of focusing so much on Amir. I love Amir’s character but I felt like the author didn’t talk a lot about Hassan’s personality or how he
