Final Info--

Here's the final, guys! Let me know if you have questions!! English 24 Spring 2012 Professor Hunt Final for The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns Arguments should be organized, use details, revolve around a central thesis, clearly show the writer’s position, and use resources (including in-text citations) correctly. Make sure your topics include support and evidence from both novels:  The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns Choose from: ·         Analysis of any relationships in the story—and how they compare/contrast with other relationships in the novels ·         The idea of the redemption story, and if anyone is redeemed, or not. ·         The lack of women in The Kite Runner, and the roles they play when they do exist, compared to A Thousand Splendid Suns.  ·         How Hosseini represents Afghani men in both novels.  ·         The role of the military in Afghanistan over the past 50 years, and how it shapes the novels. ·         The idea of homosexuality in Arabic cultures and how it shapes the novels. ·         Issues of class or religion in Afghanistan how they shape the novels. ·         A topic of your choice, but run it past me first.
