The aim of this course is to analyze the novel, The Kite Runner written by Khaled Hosseini. We will also contrast the novel with the film, The Kite Runner.
授業概要
Khaled Hosseini was born in Afghanistan in 1965, and he now lives in the United States. In an interview, Hosseini states that although the story line of his novel is largly fictional, there are "autobiographical elements woven through the narrative." We will read The Kite Runner, watch the film, and try to see how the writer's life is related to the novel.
