Second hour's fishbowl #2: The Kite Runner chapters 13-21

Good morning!

If you are on the outer circle today & choosing to participate by posting on the class blog, please adhere to the following expectations:

1.  Participate throughout the discussion's duration, posting a minimum of 3 times.

2. Link each question or assertion to a quote from the book that inspired it.  Let's practice the skill of defending our thinking & grounding it in text.  (If you need an example, see the sample question I posted on the fishbowl syllabi.)

3.  Carefully proofread your work. Hey, it's English class.

Feel free to vacillate between this role & joining the inner circle.

Happy discussing!

  2. Why is Amir back in Kabul when he knows Hassan is dead, is it just for the child, or is it something more?

  3. I think the Author did described what Kabul was physically like so then that way we can understand Amir's emotions about the town better. I do kind of feel bad for Amir that everything he remembers is gone because his house was different, his town was different, and the people he was with in Kabul were different.

  5. I think that Amir is in Kabul because he wants to get Hassan's kid to take care of and he just wants to go back to see what is going on with his house and his town.

  6. If Baba was still alive and Amir found out about all of those lies would Amir forgive Baba or would he not like him anymore?

  10. When Amir is standing on the soil where he Hassan used to fly kites, why do you think all of a sudden it feels like home again?

  11. If Baba was still around and he came back to Kabul with Amir what would he think of the conflicts that were going on? What would Baba think about the situation with Hassan and Ali? What would Baba think about how his town and his house changed.

  13. What is the motif with cars?

  14. I think that if Amir would've went back to Afghanistan a few years earlier or even got on the phone with Hassan he could've apologized for everything that he has done to Hassan in his childhood and then they would probably forgive each other.

  17. What do you think "Youre a tourist in your own country" means

  18. Baba probably did not like Amir because he told all of these lies and never admitted the truth. Baba was probably only pretending to like Amir and probably had more respect for Hassan.
