The Afghanistan Project
The story of Afghanistan is in so many ways a very tragic one. Afghanistan is one of the most impoverished nations of the world. It is one of the most war-torn, most ravaged, and most beleaguered of nations. It is a nation that has been beset by invasion, external pressure and internal upheaval since before the time of Alexander the Great. Its people are a people who have endured more than most of us can ever imagine. In fact, for many Afghans, all that has changed in the last one thousand years are the weapons which have been used against so many of them. Analysis Essay: Theme is the overarching subject or topic the reader recognizes or gains from a story. By understanding this subject or topic, we are able to recognize truths about what it means to be human and to be part of a just society. This idea or truth helps us to understand ourselves as human beings who are connected to all human beings in the world, across all spaces, cultures and across all time. The theme is the important thing for us to learn about others, but especially about ourselves. An analysis essay examines the components of a text, the literary elements, in order to construct an argument about this theme. Essay: The Kite Runner has raised questions about morals and ethics by considering the worst of humanity; however, despite Amir (and many other characters, countries included) diving deep into moral depravity, we are capable as humans of putting ourselves in his shoes. In doing so, we consider how his story, struggles, failures and redemption might change our own ideas of morals and ethics. Khaled Hosseini wrote, "there is a way to be good again”. Construct an essay in which you consider societal and individual moral and ethics through the literary work The Kite Runner as well as any topics we have studied within the Social Studies discipline.
