The Kite Runner-Khaled Hosseini

In my last exam style Kite Runner essay, we had to write in the mind-frame of Baba-Amir's Dad. I think you have to know the characters extremely well to be able to do this, because you're meant to be them, you're meant to think the way they do when you write the essay, which is quite difficult. I always find that starting essays is also difficult, but as I get more into the essay, I find it easier. 

We had to begin to write another essay style question, but this was concerning Amir's guilt. This type of essay is more based on dramatic techniques and the narrative viewpoint. I think Hosseini is quite clever in the way he uses a double filter through Amir and I tried to show this when I started the first few paragraphs of the essay. There are so many factors to Amir's guilt that it can be a struggle to get them all into one essay. I think one of the hardest things when writing, is making sure I get my ideas across well enough, so the examiner understands and so any reader understands. I think I need to improve the way I do this, but if I keep practising, hopefully, I'll improve! :)
