- The Kite Runner chpt 2
- Use of figurative language throughout “a face like a Chinese doll chiseled from hardwood” pg 3
- “Eyes that looked, depending on the light, gold, green even sapphire” The light is a metaphor for Amir
- Stream of consciousness which addresses other issues
- “But he never told on me. Never told that mirror, like shooting walnuts at the neighbour’s dog, was my idea” pg 4 Foreshadows the theme of blame and guilt
- Use of listing for Amir’s house emphasises the luxury he had as a child
- “a modest little mud hut where Hassan lived with his father” - Juxtaposes Amir’s house, symbolises their positions in society
- Use of listing for Hassan’s mud hut again further use of juxtaposition
- “You!. The Hazara! Look at me when I’m talking to you!’ - shows the social position of Hazara’s compared to Pashtuns which is what Amir is
- “there was a brotherhood between people who fed from the same breast, a kinship that not even time could break” pg 10 - irony
- “Mine was Baba. His was Amir. My Name” “and all that followed- was already laid in those first words” foreshadowing
