The Kite Runner

I used the reading-to-writing annotation (type 3) while reading The Kite Runner. This annotating style was really helpful; keeping notes on the writer's style, tone, patterns, rhetorical devices, and so on kept me engaged in the book and more aware of many things. It helped me to see how certain things sounded a certain way and how the plot, conflict and tone (which was usually self loathing or nostalgic) came across.
I loved the storyline and his writing style. I liked learning about Afghanistan and the Muslim culture. It was interesting how Hosseini used Farsi words and phrases and metaphors to bring meaning and tone across.
Even though the storyline was sad, I really enjoyed seeing how Amir coped and reacted to all of the awful and great events in his life.
