...Two conflicts that are discussed in The Washington Post from December 11, 2006, both describe a conflicts between Shi’a and Sunni Muslims. One of the articles describes violence that broke out between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq. Currently the situation in Iraq seems to be escalating and the groups are becoming increasingly polarized. Shi’a Muslims have been persecuted during the time of Saddam Hussein’s presidency and currently they are seeking recognition and revenge against the Sunnis, who enjoyed powerful positions and more freedom during Saddam's reign. Since the escalation of conflict, people on both sides have been killed or kidnapped; others had to leave their homes because they feared for their lives. The second Washington Post article on this topic talks about the conflict in Lebanon between its official government and the Hezbollah party. Lebanon also has a conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, since the prime minister of Lebanon, Fouad Seniora, is Sunni and a Hezbollah leader, Hasan Nasrallah, is Shi’a. So far, no military tactics have been used in Lebanon, but threats were exchanged. Supporters of Hezbollah have come out to the streets to protest against the government and there were rumors that the protestors were planning to block the roads in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. As a response, the government has sent troops to patrol the streets. The Hezbollah members have adopted a contentious tactic and would not settle for a compromise. One of Hezbollah's supporters...

...Running head: Hassan's Story- The Appendicular Skeleton The Appendicular Skeleton Hassan's Story A- Which clue would tell Stefan which scapular surface was anterior and which was posterior? What is the name of the shallow, oval socket of the scapula that Stefan placed next to the humerus? The clue that Stefan could use is that there is a prominent ridge called the spine that runs diagonally across the posterior surface of the scapula. Or he could use the medial border of the scapula, it's the longest of three borders and extends from the superior to the inferior angle. This border presents an anterior and posterior lip and an intermediate narrow area. Stefan would have also placed the glenoid cavity next to the humerus while aligning the scapula. B- Which bone is Stefan referring to as the "collarbone"? The bone that Stefan is referring to as the "collarbone" is the clavicle. It is a long bone that serves as a strut between the scapula and the sternum. C- Which surface markings could Stefan use to distinguish the right humerus from the left? Stefan can hold the bone so that the capitulum and trochlea face him, which would indicate it was the anterior. This would...

...As I read pages 88-91, I realized that no matter the harm or hurt that Amir has caused Hassan, He would always be loyal. Between these pages, Amir waited for Ali and Hassan to leave for the market so he can put the wrist watch and money Baba had given him for his birthday present under Hassan’s mattress. When Baba had asked Hassan if he had stolen the wrist watch, surprisingly, Hassan had said ‘Yes’. At that moment, Amir realizes Hassan had known about him being in the alley during his rape. He also knew Amir had set him up. Baba forgives him but, Ali said they had to leave. Baba cried and pleaded for them to stay but Ali had made his mind. It was raining while they left meanwhile, Amir stood by the window watching. This helped me appreciate...

...In my poem, I've employed a few different types of poetic devices, such as metaphors, similes, imagery, and repetition. I’ve used a couple metaphors through-out my poem to give certain objects more definition and description, such as using the blood-red treasure instead of pomegranates since a pomegranate is like treasure in a sense that it’s difficult to get, as you must climb to get the pomegranate and once you retrieve it and open it up, tons of little, juicy jewels spill out. I also used similes to compare certain objects to people to amplify the persons personality, for example, I compared Hassan to a baby lamb because lambs are generally linked with innocence, especially baby lambs, and I feel Hassan has a very innocent and kind soul...

...many different ways throughout the Kite Runner. From after the rape scene that occurs between Hassan and Assef, Amir gains a horrible sense of guilt which remains with him throughout the whole remainder of the book. These feelings of guilt then lead to him being ashamed of himself, but instead of dealing with those feelings openly, he harbours them and then uses the first opportunity he can find to get rid of what he sees as the source of his guilt--Hassan. From the point Amir decided he was going to try and get rid of Hassan, he had gained a sense of confidence that made him believe that if Hassan was out of the way then he would lose his sense of guilt and be able to go back to living his care free life again. But this changed suddenly when Amir saw Hassan and Ali invited back to his father’s office and noticed their red eyes from crying and he states “...And I wondered how and when I had become capable of causing this kind of pain.” This quote shows how Hosseini wants the reader to acknowledge how Amir is aware of his actions and he is still taking full account for what he has done, and deep within he will always carry the guilt for not helping his friend. Moving onto when Hassan accepts taking the watch and money even when Amir and the reader both know that it was Amir himself who had planted them, allows Hosseini to represent the side of Amir that shows his ignorance towards Hassan dedication and devotion to him. To take things back to another point at the start of the book...

...Runner, Khaled uses the character, Amir, to demonstrate how violence leads to betrayal, which creates guilt within oneself, and ultimate destroying relationships. The impact of violence on Amir leads him to betray Hassan, his only friend, brother and servant by running away from helping Hassan. Amir’s first experience of violence is when Amir wins the Kite fighting Tournament, and Hassan, runs off in pursuit of Amir’s trophy. Hassan is gone long enough to alarm Amir, who begins to search for him and once he finds him, he sees Assef, a bully, raping him. Amir at first is scared of Assef but later convinces himself by says, “Nothing was free in this world. Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay to win Baba (Amir’s Father) Was it a fair price?” (Hosseini 82). As Amir never helps Hassan, this shows that Amir will do anything to get Baba’s love and intention. Amir uses Hassan as a tool even though Hassan was his best friend from birth. Hassan’s friendship for Amir is not worth more than the blue kite, which ultimately shows Amir betraying and using Hassan for his own need. Furthermore, Amir’s actions toward Hassan by not helping him, turns into guilt. He starts hating Hassan of the guilt that Amir possesses in him. “Every time Hassan was around, I was getting a headache” (Hosseini 93). Amir later insures that “our paths crossed...
