Key scene analysis: The Kite Runner

Focusing on four key chapters or 'scenes' from Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner, this helpful resource supports A-level students with their understanding of key themes, characters and significant structural, literary, linguistic and narrative elements. 

For each key episode, some important points and quotations analysis have been identified, along with an analysis of the text. 

Students could use this resource to support their independent reading or revision of the novel, or it could be used during class reading as a springboard for pair or group discussion tasks, or close textual analysis and annotation.
