9.22.10 - 9.24.10 Week 5
In your book, what are some of the ways that your character expresses themselves through their emotions? How do they show love? Anger? Hate? Why is this important to you as a reader?
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
My character, Amir is very mores emotions. From the beginning of the book he has changed completely. His emotions aren't as innocent as they used to be. Now he isn't trying to solve the problem but avoid it. Like: "The head lights came on...I'd run outside, my bare feet splashing rainwater. I'd chase the car, screaming for it to stop. I'd pull Hassan out of the backseat and tell him I was sorry, so sorry...We'd hug in the down pour...I was sorry, but I didn't cry and I didn't chase the car..." (pg 109). When Amir is sad, he'd usually try to avoid it or talk to Hassan about it. When he's mad he usually stays in his room, or he just be mean to Hassan and Ali. When he's happy he acts like a kid that he is, not a a stubborn little rich boy.
