Obviously, the best way to prepare for the final essay is to have read and studied the book thoroughly. With that as a given, you might want to focus your attention on the following concepts/ideas explored in the novel:
Parallelism – especially between Ali/Baba as well as Hassan/Amir
Redemption – is it achieved for Baba? Ali? Sanaubar?
The framework of the novel, beginning and ending as it does – as well as evidence of other situations that also repeat themselves or seem to go in cycles. Keep in mind the passage from the novel: “Afghans like to say: Life goes on, unmindful of beginning, end . . . crisis or catharsis, moving forward like a slow, dusy caravan of kochis [nomads].”
Class distinction and its role in forming the lives of the characters – not just Amir’s, but ALL the characters
And – obviously – the friendship between Amir & Hassan
You WILL get your research paper, any other papers (essay & quiz) and your grade on your blog, on the day of the final. (I have one final every day next week = catch up time!! Finally.)
