AP English Literature period 1

1. Continue reading The Kite Runner. Journals for Chapter 14-17 are due Thursday! I may keep them to look closer at your quotes and responses.
2. Finish TWO of your MINI Research assignments. Remember the subjects include: The Taliban; Sunni versus Shia Islam; The Drug Trade in Afghanistan; The Oppression of Women; the Treatment of Ethnic Minorities.
The Purpose of the Assignment: To expose students to historical and social forces that undergird and shape a story. You will cite your sources and write a full two pages on each topic.  Your two pages will include bulleted facts, terms and definitions as well as a reflective narrative of what you learned.
3. If you didnt finish the questions here they are: 1.       What selection of details on page 112 suggest that Amir’s family could never replace the loyalty of Ali and Hassan?
2.       How do the men react and respond to the Russian soldiers demands?  Consider the reaction from the woman’s husband; the other passengers, and lastly Baba? How do their reactions differ? What does each suggest?
3.       What do Baba’s remarks suggest about war and rape and violence?
4.       The Russian soldier who thwarts the attempted abuse states that “they are just boys, and when they come here, they find the pleasure of drug (117)”.  What product is produced into a drug whose lucrative sale has increased in Afghanistan?
