Revision work for the holidays

You should be revising by:

  • re reading ‘The Kite Runner’
  • working through your notes and making study notes
  • writing at least one essay on the novel

Write a 600 word essay on the following topic.

Evaluate the contribution that TWO minor characters make in a novel you have studied .

To do this well evaluate the contribution of your characters. They might:

  • play a significant part in illuminating the major characters’ experience or nature, by contrast or parallel.
  • have a brief but significant moment in the novel because of what is said or done.
  • introduce a special tone or significance into the novel, so making an important contribution to its total meaning or effect, or helping in the reader’s understanding of theme/setting/situation.

If you don’t want to do that topic try the following one:

In what ways does the author of a novel you have studied make the reader aware of an important theme or themes?

1. Identify and discuss the theme(s)

2. Move onto “the ways” the reader is made aware of important theme/s.
