The Kite Runner Blog - Foundations 11

The Kite Runner Blogsite! - Foundations of World Literature Honors - Period 11

Hi Kids!

Welcome to our class Kite Runner Blogsite!
I am hoping that this amazing new tool will enrich our discussions in class, as well as extend our learning and exploration of the novel beyond the classroom. I will be posting a new question once every day or two. You are required to answer to that post, or to the comments of your classmates.
The only rules and regulations are as follows:
-Respond to each day's discussion question, or to the
comments of your classmates
-Use courtesy, manners, and respect
-Use deep critical thinking and textual evidence to support
your responses (when necessary)
-Have fun!

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you are having any problems with the blog.

Happy Blogging!

Third post...

When Amir and Baba move to the States their relationship changes, and Amir begins to view his father as a more complex man. Discuss the changes in their relationship. Do you see the changes in Baba as tragic or positive?

Wednesday's question...

America acts as a place for Amir to bury his memories and a place for Baba to mourn his. In America, there are "homes that made Baba's house in Wazir Akbar Khan look like a servant's hut." What is ironic about this statement? Why do they go to America? (I mean, they could go anywhere, right?)
