What is Sofia (Amir's mother) overall importance in the book Kite Runner​

English
1 answer:
vodomira [7]3 years ago
5 0

We never see Amir's mother in the novel, but nonetheless she exerts an influence. Baba perhaps blames Amir for her sudden death (she dies giving birth to Amir). In a way, she's the wedge between Baba and Amir. As Baba pushes Amir more and more toward "manly" activities like soccer and kite-flying, Amir resists by reading his mother's poetry books. She also has books on the Hazara people, which suggests that she, like Rahim Khan, has some of the most forward-thinking and compassionate views on ethnicity in the novel. It's odd how Amir's mother "feminizes" him even though she's almost completely absent. In fact, we have to disagree with Amir when he later says "I had been raised by men; I hadn't grown up around women" (13.97). Like Rahim Khan, who also encourages Amir's writing, Amir's mother has been there all along with him.

So my teacher want us to write a story and have grammar in it too but I’m not much of a writer and not sure how to write it out.
vredina [299]

Answer:

1. Loose vs. lose

This one drives a lot of people crazy, including me.

In fact, it’s so prevalent among bloggers that I once feared I was missing something, and somehow “loose” was a proper substitute for “lose” in some other English-speaking countries. Here’s a hint: it’s not.

If your pants are too loose, you might lose your pants.

2. Me, myself, and I

One of the most common causes of grammatical pain is the choice between “me” and “I.”

Too often people use “I” when they should use “me.” Since “I” sounds stilted and proper, it must be right, right? Nope.

The easy way to get this one right is to simply remove the other person from the sentence and then do what sounds correct.

You would never say “Give I a call,” so you also wouldn’t say “Give Chris and I a call.” Don’t be afraid of me.

And whatever you do, don’t punt and say “myself” because you’re not sure whether “me” or “I” is the correct choice. “Myself” is only proper in two contexts, both of which are demonstrated below.

Many consider Chris a punk, but I myself tolerate him. Which brings me to ask myself, why?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

"Sandy and Thomas " is an example of a compound subject. (letter A. compound)

Explanation:

<u>We can define subject as the topic of a sentence - what the sentence is about</u>. For instance, the sentence below has "I" as its subject.

- I drove all day yesterday.

<u>When a sentence has two or more subjects, we have a compound subject. This type of subject is connected by "and" or "or", and it can present commas in case there are more than two subjects. The sentence below has an example of a compound subject:</u>

<u>- Sandy and Thomas have bought their plane tickets.</u>
