Any spelling or grammatical help would be really awesome. My teacher is such a hard marker and I loose so many marks because of it.
And if anyone could point out parts that confuse them or just dont work would be so amazing. =)
To live with courage is to face the imperfections which adorn our lives, and learn to embrace them as who we are. Burdened with his father s irrational expectations, Amir, the leading protagonist in Khaled Hosseini s The Kite Runner, breaks free of his father s dream of who he is to become and matures into the man he wishes to be.
Respected and valued by the people of Kabul, Baba desires for his own personal attributes to echo through to his son, Amir. In an almost arrogant manner, Baba expresses quite visibly the distaste that he holds towards his own son. Unaware of Amir s presence, Baba confides to a close friend, Sometimes I look out this window and see him playing on the street with the neighborhood boys, I see how they push him around, take his toys from him and, you know, he never fights back. Never (22). Compliantly, Amir sees himself through the eyes of his father. He is an embarrassment, a coward. Where most parents would cherish their children for their individual qualities, Baba places a burden on Amir to leave who he is behind, and become the man his father wishes him to be. With these unreasonable expectations set before him, it is easy to see how a child as young as Amir would run from the pressure both Baba and the Kabul society have placed upon him.
Striving for his father s affection and pride, Amir finds himself presented with a distressing realization as he compares himself to his life-long play mate, Hassan. In Baba s eyes, where Amir is cowardly and weak, Hassan is like Baba, courageous and strong. Searching for a reason behind his father s affection toward the Hazara servant boy, Amir inwardly bickers, reasoning to himself Hassan hadn t done anything to earn Baba s affection: he d just been born a stupid harelip (46). As jealousy grows within him, Amir begins to tear himself away from Hassan and their unspoken friendship. In final parting act to his friendship Amir kneeled to watch as Hassan lay with his chest pinned to the ground Assef was standing over [him], the heel of his snow boots crushing the back of Hassan s neck (75). With the desire to win his father s respect, it would be this sacrifice of friendship which would loom over him for the next twenty-six years, but yet destine him to be a man of courage.
A symbol of success and power, Baba is portrayed to be a man of courage and strength but in truth he is a coward. Though Baba reasons that if [he] hadn t seen the doctor pull [Amir] out of [his] wife with [his] own eyes, [he d] never believe [Amir to be his] son (23). Amir is his more like father then either is willing to accept. Concealed behind a veil of power and wealth, Baba, like Amir, hides from past mistakes and fears to break away from the boundaries of social class. Where Baba has failed to grow past his faults, Amir has learned to accept his own imperfections and breaks free of the sins of his past to become more than his father ever was. To recognize the challenges we bring upon ourselves, and yet still persist in growing into who we wish to be, is courage beyond that of a fairy tale hero.
Underline the name of long works, is this a novel? Underline its name every time you write it.
Take it easy on the is, are, and passive verbs.
The yuck list of words that you should avoid like the plague when writing an analysis:
Is, are, should have, would have, be, was, were, been, could have.
Write in present tense, this is very elementary, but it is to help the audience read quick through your essay, because that is what you want, you want the audience to read your analysis quickly, passive voice slows down the reading.
Also ignore the 5 paragraphs concept of an essay. It can be 4, 5, 6 ,10, as many paragraphs as you desire as long as you prove your points.
Give examples, support, explain clearly, prove.
Always prove what you say. Do not just give examples without proving.
And if anyone could point out parts that confuse them or just dont work would be so amazing. =)
