[4X4]

I have to hand it in soon and haven't really started the actual thing. Any suggestions? Like, how to write it out?

Thank you.

Which book?

Generally you want to identify the main themes of the book, explore them using examples from the text, explain what you felt the author was trying to say.

Thanks a gazillion times mate :) And the book happens to be the Kite Runner by Chaled (Or Khaled) Chosseni. you read? Anyone else read?

[dwarfthrower]

I haven't read it, but a quick wiki-ing shows the main theme to be the guilt that the main character feels over the betrayal/abandonment of his friend/servant. I'm not sure if you've read or watched The Killing Fields but there's a similar theme running through that as well.

You could explore the nature of guilt, especially where it arises from not stepping into a situation to help someone, even though doing so would have resulted in your own serious injury or possible death.

Holy shit you are good. And you Are right. The main character, Amir, Betrays his life long friend, Hassan, where he witnessed Hassan on a cold Kabul winter day getting beaten up. He doesn't have the balls to step in, regardless of the numerious times that Hassan Protected Amir's but from certain trouble.

The shit that he does later on in the book to clear his conscience is unbeleivable...
