So there were no more free elections women for instance who were able to attend University who were able to dress how they wished became very restricted and also this state of the Afghanistan became very Islamic. However the king and the government lost and the Soviet troops pulled out in 1979 and the country was left to a civil war and it was eventually controlled by extremist groups most notably the Taliban which led to a reversal in what was in the 1960s. The most notable of it being the Mujahideen which later run in the late 90s became Al Qaeda and this group was backed by the USA, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, while the Communist Party was backed by the Soviet Union and the monarchy of course was backed also by the Soviet Union.

In 1979 there was the soviet-afghan war which began. The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful graphic novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons-their love, their sacrifices, their lies.Ī gripping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years. A way to be good again” (page 192).The bestselling novel, Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, being an unforgettable, sensational, emotional, heartbreaking, story of the unlikely friendship between a well off boy and the son of his father’s servant, is very artistically crafted novel set in a war-torn country, Afghanistan. Said it in passing, almost as an afterthought. There is a way to be good again, Rahim Khan had said on the phone just before hanging up. He knew about Assef, the kite, the money, the watch with the lightning bolt hands. My suspicions had been right all those years. The message below is giving an example of diction in the novel, “And again, something in his bottomless black eyes hinted at an unspoken secret between us. An example of a tone use is where, the author uses short sentences to make the novel more dramatic. Here the shadow of Amir and Hassan is given the human characteristic of dancing. “Our twin shadows dance on the rippling grass”, Amir says (p 122). In chapter 9 and 10 there is a use of personification. The author used this quote to show how Baba could not forget things which reminded him of his Afghanistan home. He says, “Baba was like the widower who remarries but can’t let go of his dead wife” (p 129). For example, Amir describes the attitude of Baba about letting go of the past by use of widower. Another example is in Amir’s description of the sound, from dropping pebbles on water during his childhood, as ‘plink’ (p 274). This is because Amir is a Pashtun but he respects Hazaras which should not be the case. The author uses the “clean down the middle” aspect to symbolize the place of Amir in society as well as how he is torn between two sides. Use of symbolism is expressed in the novel whereby, the doctor says,” The impact had cut your upper lip in two, clean down the middle. It is used to stress the sound on the mind of the reader. The sound of the engine (tink-tink) is an onomatopoeia. Use of onomatopoeia has been expressed in “Kite Runner”, when Amir describes the sound of the car by saying, “He killed the engine and we sat for a minute, listening to the tink-tink of the engine cooling off, neither of us saying anything” (p 273). This literary device of alliteration is used by John Donne to show the power of God to break and form a new thing. Literary alteration is expressed whereby the speaker says that “the God’s force is able to break, burn, blow and make me new” (P 265). This imagery creates a sense of touch and smell. Also, there is another imagery in Amir’s description of his dad, having a big chest and how he holds him comfortable together with his dad’s brut being small in the morning. The language used in this sentence reflects on how minds image the water appearance in the sunlight. Here Amir was on a walk near a lake when he describes the sparkling sound of the water on the sunlight and how the boats sailed on the water together with the propelling breeze.
An example in the Kite Runners is seen in the first chapter expressed through the sparkling water and crisp breeze. The imagery is a literary language which is used to describe sound, taste, sight or a smell.
