Senior Project
Today i had another appointment with my Director Jan. He helped me pick out where i want to volunteer at and told me about what i am expected to do. I then had to get my picture taken and received a badge that would allow me access into the building. After that i was given another tour inside the new building where i would be working and met one of my mentors. He was funny and made joke about if i was sure i wanted to work there because i had chosen to work at the pychoanalysis ward. It made me rethink twice if i was sure i was up for the challenge

Senior Project
Today i went to orientation for 3 hours to figure out what part of the hospital i wanted to work at. There are so many different wards and different types of patients i didn't know which one to pick. We learned how to assist someone on a wheel chair without hurting them and learned some procedures we must follow.

The Kite Runner post 5

The Kite Runner is a pretty sad book, people getting shot, people trying to commit suicide but the end was kinda of nice. He flew his kite with his friend at a park. I think there was a pretty good message in the book thought. Like life is full of disappoints and surprises, but hope and optimism for a better future can get you through it. I think at the end of the story when they were flying kites and the other kite string was snapped it represented and symbolized letting go of the past.

The Kiter Runner post 4

I like how the author uses other another Language for some words to make it seem more real. Chapter 17 made me feel sad because he found his friend was shot even after he had proof and the neighbors supported him. It made me upset when i found out that they killed him because they wanted the house for themselves. I also felt sympathy for Amir because he felt like it was his fault his friend died and he was living a lie because he just found out he had a brother.

Baba sounds like a really strong Character emotionaly and physicly, i picture him big and muscular because he was able to life Karim by the neck and joke him. That was a pretty intense short little scene. But also there was still a couple of alliteration in the story and i think its the authors trade mark. Its hard to write a book to begin with but to put allot of alliterations must be harder.

The Kite Runner post 2

In Chapter 4 the narrator says never mind allot to prove his point, its very repetitive. Usually they just say so but i think he did that to give the narrator personality. What i don't understand is if they did all of those stuff together, why wouldn't you consider each other friends? Also i found that there was alliterations that helped get to know the character by seeing he's somewhat a playful kid.

I like how the story starts with like a for shadowing event kind of thing about the 1975 winter. He mentioned it more than once that tells me that something important probably happened and probably what this whole book is about. Also he is in San Francisco my home town where i was born and raised to i like it already. What i don't like is that he off the bat gave allot of names and that are kind of fun to say but i have a feeling I'm going to get them mixed up. I also didn't like how the Hassan character reacted to the soldier who was talking about his mother. I would have done something i wouldn't care if he was a soldier.
