So, the next assignment for our writing class is writing about a time of literacy for us, so I have decided to write about reading the novel “Kite Runner” by Khaled Houssini just because of how much I have used references to the book since I have read it.
While writing this essay and any other essay about the book I realized how much the book related to anything and everything in life. On the new SATs there is a required writing section that has two quotes and a question and the writer has to form a side of an argument for or against the statement and prove it using current events, literature, history, or personal experience. I ended up taking the SATs 3 times (not that my scores were very bad, just because I knew I could do better on them, which I did every time) and two of the three times I ended up incorporating the book into my essay. I also wrote about it on my AP literature test and in comparative book essays in my classes.
Writing this essay has actually made me realize how great the “Kite Runner” is and how amazing Khaled Houssini is at writing stories that make the characters become almost real people. It was also a special book for me because I read it with my mom and we could share it with each other and share our interpretations of the story. This book really did impact my life and this assignment helped me realize it.

From this post and from your essay, your sense of how important this book was to you is striking. Have you had a chance to read his most recent book? Maybe it will be your next great reading experience?
