“The kite runner” by Khaled Hosseini is a book about the life of a character named Amir, he has to abandon his friend, Hassan, in order to escape the soviet invasion.’

“I’ll come back with your morphine and a glass of water, Kaka jan,” Soraya said. “Not tonight,” he said. “There is no pain tonight.” “Okay” she said. She pulled up his blanket. We closed the door. Baba never woke up.

 

I chose this quote because it conveys the death of a character in a different way than most books I have read do. Typically, in the other books I have read, the death is significantly more intense, but in this book, its over in one sentence. since this character is one of the most important characters in the story, a more detailed death would be expected. The reason believe this was a good choice is because it puts more of an emotional impact on the reader, because it doesn’t overuse anything to make it more emotional, and  it doesn’t use too little.
