what do you think of my essay of The Kite Runner?

Setting in Chapter 7
The opening of Chapter 7 starts with vivid imagery of the setting in Hassan’s dream, “Ghargha Lake”. “It was warm and sunny, and the lake was clear like a mirror.” This sets up the enjoyment and impressive settings throughout Chapter 7, although these are juxtaposed with the later settings where Hassan gets raped. Khaled Hosseini uses alliteration “blameless blue” in order to create the childlike view of the protagonist, He also uses vivid sensory description in “The streets glistened with fresh snow” in order to make the reader feel more physically involved with the story, Hosseini could want the reader to feel that Hassan’s rape is shockingly real and therefore becomes more engaged with the story, or he could want them to view the world through Amir’s eyes more vividly.
Amir’s description of the streets are as “eight-foot walls” maybe depicting Amir’s entrapment as he is not close to his father Baba, and desperately wants to be or on the other hand his isolation as his best friend is an Hazara and Amir had social differences to him. The streets of Wazir Akbar Khan were numbered and set at right angles to each other like a grid furthers Amirs entrapment, as Amir is very imaginative such as when he wrote and read Hassan his story he made up, so this mathematic like structure could represent the strangeness Amir feels from the street and foreshadows Hassan’s rape as something unconventional .
The alleyway in which Hassan gets raped is estranged and dirty “piles of scrap and rubble”, possibly being representational of the act that Assef performs as being dirty and dishonourable. Amir is shown describing the alleyway in massive detail as Hassan is being raped “worn bicycle tires, bottles with peeled labels, ripped up magazines, yellow newspapers”, as if Amir wants to take his mind of what is happening to Hassan by using lists.
Amir’s dream could also represent his guilty conscience, Hosseini using personification to refelect on the dream-like state Hassan is experiencing “the wind wailing in my ears” and also forshadows the vivid imagery of when Hassans bottom starts bleeding in the snow “tiny drops that fell from between his legs and stained the snow black” into “blood dripping, staining the snow” red and white being contrasting colours representing death. Amir also goes into a paradise type fantasy where he is “standing in a field of apple green grass” and this could represent Amir escaping from his guilt of not stepping in when Hassan was being raped.

it is an awesome book and i think your essay is awesome too.

good luck
