English- Unit 4 Activity 4- Creating a Storyboard- Afnan Shahid
Storyboard Text
- When I read this book, I did not want it to end there. It was so compelling that I looked up the movie and watched it. The movie was as good as the book. The only difference between the book and the movie was the emotions it made me feel. For example, there was a conversation between Hassan and Rahim Khan that shed light on the situation that befallen Afghanistan. On the radio, it said that the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, Hassan replies to Rahim Khan who walked into the room and says, “God help the Hazaras.” (Pg. 29). Hassan uses a literary device which is foreshadowing, and foreshadowed his own death. This scene in the movie was much stronger than what I read in the book. This scene especially made me cry. It was unbelievable to see everything unfolding. Every scene reminded me of parts of the book. If I had more time, I would reread this book again.
- Lastly, my last reason will be talking about forgiveness. Without forgiveness, it is hard to move on in any sort of relationship. Compared to the rest of the characters in the novel, Amir must go through the most pain and suffering, which makes him spend most of his life trying to find forgiveness. Since Amir was born into the more privileged class as a Pashtun (Sunni) while Hassan was born into the lower class, as Hazara (Shi’a). His faith was sealed the moment he was conceived.
- This book is brilliant because it grips you on a roller coaster of emotions and even though it is fiction, it does the best job at portraying the reality of what is happening in Afghanistan, signing off.
