Those who are silence are afraid to speak up assuming something tragic would happen to them and their families.

Dehumanization can help support the theme of the book, for example, at the start of the war the men are themselves but they slowly

In today's society, people have become sensitive, and from this came the dangers of censorship. Censorship is flawed, unnecessary, and immature; literature should instead be viewed with care and consideration and left untarnished. Removing offensive and inappropriate language from classic literature would show a false reality, remove important cultural and historical context, and lessen the reader's knowledge about the complexities of society, which is why it should be looked at in a more mature manner to better understand the author's intentions for the piece of literature. Firstly, the censorship of literature would present a false reality to the reader and remove important cultural and historical context. Through the analyzation of the novel

The Theme of the story has a important part in the story due to it summarizing the feelings in the story and what the story is based on. The theme of the story in my opinion is suffering, due to what happens to the characters and people in the story. First of all, liesel the main character is sufferings because of her mother

Hosseini’s use of language, sin and redemption reveal to us the foundations of moral growth. As Amir ages, he experiences and grows to understands guilt and remorse. His actions and growth allow the reader to observe a journey of discovery that involve cowardice, escapism and remorse which ultimately leads to redemption. Hosseini utilizes the language of innocence and fear in order for the reader to better understand Amir’s moral growth. The beginning of The Kite Runner accentuates the childlike consciousness of Amir.

This prominent theme of silence throughout the novel can be compared to the song “The Sound of Silence”, by Simon and Garfunkel, that heavily implies the concept of silence and discovering the world simply with the absence of sound. It also

In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, three themes are facing reality, losing hope, and the power of words. The first theme of To Kill A Mockingbird is facing reality.

The Three Elixirs in Rushdie’s “Haroun and the sea of stories.” Rushdie’s “Haroun and the sea of stories” follows the structure of the hero’s journey. At the end of every hero’s journey, the hero would always come back home (or the ordinary world) with an elixir of some kind.

The Importance of Stories in Haroun and The Sea of Stories “ What 's the use of stories, that aren 't even true?” Haroun asks his father in Chapter 1, on page 22. Stories that aren 't true are very important, especially to characters in Haroun and The Sea of stories by, Salman Rushdie. In the book, Haroun is the son to Rashid, who is a good story teller.

A hero is someone who saves something crucial to the life of large population of people. In Haroun and the Sea of Stories, The Hero Haroun fights off the Cultmaster Khattam-Shud and the chups in order to save the sea of stories.

A unique attribute of a hero is he or she doesn’t just fight for themself, rather they fight for something that benefits and will unite a group of people. A hero must also fail many times before he or she is able to succeed.

Writing style: Khaled Hosseini uses descriptive language rather than metaphors and similes. The use of Khaled Hosseini descriptive language creates an illusion where the reader is able to picture what the author wishes them to see, they then are able to connect with characters and grow a bond with them. Along with descriptive language Khaled Hosseini does use a few stylistic techniques such as foreshadowing. The novel starts off with Sabbor telling a bedtime story to his kids, Abdullah and Pari.

The novel itself is ruthless and alternately depressing and horrifying. Speaking volumes, it describes how God is silent.
