Welcome to your very own Period 8/9 blogsite! My goal with this blog is to extend our conversations about the beautiful novel The Kite Runner beyond our classroom. You should use this as a sounding board to vent about the book, as a place to ask questions, as a place to discuss reactions, and a place to practice writing about literature. I will be posting a question on here about once a day or two. My only requirements for you here are as follows:Check the blog and respond to any and all questions I postYou may react to someone else's questions/statements if you choose to do that insteadYou must use courtesy and politeness on here! (clean language!)You must use your best critical thinking skills on here!Have fun!Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or problems with this.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, of all the places they could go, do you think they go to America?
