Wowza. Theres a lot to take in looking back over my notes. There is definitely a lot of mirroring, which i think is real clever because it must have taken ages to put all those hints in - impressed. I quite like Farid in this chapter because he gives Amir the reality check I think he needs to realise that he's got to stop feeling sorry for himself. I especially like the part of the chapter where he gives the children the watch but then... "They hadn't been staring at the watch at all. They'd been staring at my food." This shows Amir's ignorance and lack of understand about how most people in Afghanistan live their lives.
I also like the irony of Amir's fear becoming a strength - showing Amir starting to grow as he becomes aware that he has to deal with this, and can't carry on ignoring it. I am now going to cleverly back up my point with a quote such as "But I knew I had to leave as soon as possible. I was afraid I'd change my mind."
So yeah, onto the next bloggaty blog.
TOOOODLES.
