Metacognition: Kite Runner Essay

When previewing the sample idea starters Mr.Allen proposed for us, I immediately found out that my mind and opinions were all over the place as the norm. The thesis I could most collect and develop my thoughts about was revolved around the past, so I decided to hover on that topic. I felt that it wasn't just the past that Amir was shaping his life over, but the single, solitary issue that manipulated fate in a cruel direction. I tried to concentrate on how Amir can't escape what happened that one December night to prove that our pasts not only have influence over future actions, but that they are reoccurring and unavoidable themselves. I found as I viewed it in this way, it really brought different aspects of the book together; the downside was the most insightful passages on the subject occurred after the night and thus, towards the second have of the fictional memoir. I think this thought brought in moments from my life and points outside the memoir which could give it character and a direction unique to my voice, which I am excited for. I just find it a difficult balancing act to bring specific instances while grasping onto a larger concept and ideal.
