PROJECT
Activity Instructions
Write an analytical paper on the novel you have been reading
Incorporate peer feedback and comments from your presentation submitted
Analyze a deeper meaning you found in the novel. Critically examine themes, symbols, ironies, and social impact; however, do not simply summarize the story. Instead, use short quotes and paraphrase ideas from the story to support your thesis and illustrate your ideas.
The thesis should be in the first paragraph, and your support will come from the novel itself, as well as other, peer-reviewed resources you use to illustrate and support your point. You must cite all sources you use from the Internet, both in your paper and on a Reference page.
When writing about stories or novels, do not spend more than one short paragraph on the plot. DO NOT RETELL THE STORY OF THE STORY OR NOVEL IN YOUR PAPER.
APA format suggests no more than 5% of your paper should be direct quotes. Instead, use your own voice and words to reflect the author’s meaning, while giving credit to others’ research. Review the Purdue OWL Avoiding Plagiarism web page for tips on how to incorporate resources into your writing.
Your paper must include the following:
- Title page
- Abstract
- Body of paper
- Annotated bibliography (include all sources)
- Reference page
- 8-10 pages (approx. 300 words per page), not including title page or references page
- 1-inch margins
- Double spaced
- 12-point Times New Roman font
- Reference page (minimum of 6 resources – in addition to your selected novel)

An introduction to the Novel “The Kite Runner”
The Kite Runner is an epic story that takes the reader from the final days of the Afghan
monarchy to the carnage of the Taliban reign. The epic tale revolves around a sad story of love,
family, and friendship against a set of history. It tells of a young man by the name Amir and his
memories about life in Kabul and how they are blessed with a heritage that values tradition and
blood ties which in essence are deeply rooted within their cultural identity. The novel also
highlights the devastating history Afghanistan of the past years based on various themes
including the price of betrayal, the power of sacrifice, and rigid class system which in essence
helps in developing the plot of the story.

This is a compelling story which although appears to be interesting, evokes a lot of
emotions on the reader. I believe the story is an interesting one though the ending seems very
emotional. I believe reading through this story will enable you identify some the themes that are
eminent just from reading through it. Love, disappointed, and betrayal are all eminent themes
that I believe you will be able to identify through the story. Although I have never read this story,
I believe it will be more interesting to read through to have an idea of how things transitioned
between Frank and April.

I believe this is a compelling story worth reading because it highlights some real life
injustices that in occurs in some societies based on some oppressive ideals. In Muslim societies,
women undergo high of oppression based on cultures that undermine their values. However,
anyone who attempts to go against such oppressive societal values is often silenced. In this story,
it I believe it will be a great opportunity to read through the life of Malala, a privileged young
Muslim girl who against all odds gets an opportunity to secure education but later on silenced
based on her fight against oppressive Muslim societal ideals that denied girls opportunity to get
education. It will also be interesting to get to the bottom line to understand how things transpired
and how she came to be killed based on her stand.

Good choice I believe! However, I am not always good in history. This story will provide
you with an opportunity to recount on the on the aspect of Sioux Indians at the Battle of Little
Big Horn which I believe was known to the Lakota and other Plains Indians as the Battle of the
Greasy Grass and also commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand. This was an armed
engagement between the combined forces of Lakota, Arapaho tribe, and Northern Cheyenne
which in essence was a battle with the U.S forces which resulted in the defeat of the U.S forces
in Great Sioux War of 1876. I believe you will enjoy reading this novel if you have basic
knowledge of Great Sioux War of 1876.

The fictional novel “Long Halftime Walk” by Billy Lynn provides a foundation for
understanding the psychological and the emotional needs of the returning soldiers. I believe this
fictional story will enhance your psychological and nursing knowledge in regards to the needs of
the returning soldiers who in most cases faces a lot of mental distress which in essence affects
their psychological needs. By reading this fictional novel, you will have an opportunity to
understand the basics of mental health problem and the psychological distress of the returning
solders. This can help champion/initiate a need to champion for more intervention to help the
returning soldiers and the veterans.
