Amir's Past and Present
When Amir is in America with his wife, Soraya, he pretends that he has nothing to hide about Afganistan. He puts in deep roots by getting married and establishing a career in America and puts on a strong, confident facade like the trunk of the tree. Little does Soraya know that Amir has sensitive parts of him that are still weak after all this time represented by the flowers on the tree.

I like the example of the roots being used into the ground. I think that the tree growing up shows Amir's coming of age and his maturity.
ReplyDeleteI like how you show both sides of Amir's character through this photo and how you explain both his mature side and his vulnerable side.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was an interesting metaphor you cleverly showed both sides of Amir in the book.
ReplyDeleteI like how you incorporated the flowers into your metaphor. I think you could also add that the stair railing is a support system like Soraya is for Amir.
ReplyDeleteI like how you explain Amir's growth throughout the book and the areas he is still struggling through.
