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.

Which one of the following statements is true for the base forms of verbs?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The correct answer is A. When the subject of a sentence is singular, add "_s" to the base form.

An easy example is "to exist", the base form is "exist" and A strawberry exists shows that you add s when a singular subject is used.

True or false?Claim messages should include a blow-by-blow chronology of the details of the problem to adequately inform the rea
Sonja [21]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A claim letter (also called a claim message) is a type of a persuasive letter identifying a problem with a product or service, sent by a customer to an agency or business. It may also be referred to as a letter of complaint.

When writing a claim message, you should focus on the most important facts. No unnecessary details, like a blow-by-blow chronology, are needed. You should include the reason for writing, what went wrong and what you'd like to happen. An effective claim message is written in a formal style, as anger and emotion are not an effective method of persuasion.
