Hosseini/The Kite Runner
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review. Khaled Hosseini, a native of Afghanistan, paints a poignant picture of friendship and bigotry in his novel The Kite Runner. A best-selling first novel, it is also the first novel to be written in English by an Afghan (Noor 148). It is the story of two boys, Amir, the privileged Pashtun, and Hassan, a Hazara servant. While Amir considers Hassan to be his friend, and the boys have virtually been raised together, Amir consistently takes advantage of that friendship throughout his childhood, playing cruel jokes on Hassan and basing this presumption on their difference in status. However, in later life, the fate of his friend comes to haunt him, causing Amir to return to Afghanistan in order to redeem his own and his father's sins. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

I Heard the Owl Call My Name
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Margaret Craven's I Heard the Owl Call My Name (1973). This story concerns a young priest, Mark Brian, whom the reader learns immediately has a terminal disease that will kill him within three years. This information is kept from Mark by his Bishop who sends him to his hardest parish, a New Zealand Indian village, so that the young man may learn as much as possible in the short time remaining to him. As this indicates, the story is set up as a hero's journey that presents Mark involved in a quest for self-knowledge and growth. Examination of Craven's novel shows that the author emphasizes this underlying purpose by structuring Mark's story as if it were, itself, a native legend. No additional sources cited.

Ibsen's A Doll's House

The duality of life often takes unexpected turns in literature. The juxtaposition of good and evil, honest and dishonest and the real and the imaginary become the foundation for the building of a character, plot and the tension that brings an audience into the work. This 7 page paper argues that in A Doll's House, by Henrik Ibsen, there are elements of all of these dualities in which the audience becomes enmeshed and the characters defined.

Intranation -- Patricia Grace’s “Potiki” and Eden Robinson’s “Monkey Beach”
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses novels written by Patricia Grace (“Potiki”) and Eden Robinson (“Monkey Beach”). In “Potiki,” the reader is able to see one community's response to attacks on their ancestral values and symbols. In the process, the relationship between people and the land they live on is shown to have greater ties than can be imagined by the “typical” urbanite. Likewise, “Monkey Beach” demonstrates that there are people whose greater loyalties are more directly related to the mystical connections that exist for some people in what are most often dismissed as the ordinary occurrences of daily life. Both novels explore the idea of the existence of intranations in the modern world and the ideologies of the residents of those intranations. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
