Today, I began the first part of my Kite Runner essay, the evidence plan. I decided to write my essay on secrets and the role that they play in people's lives. At first, I wasn't sure how to split up my body paragraphs, but i came up with an idea to write two about secrets that were kept during the story and one about secrets that were revealed.
Once I had a thesis established and an idea for my body paragraphs, I needed to find examples in the text of both kept and revealed secrets. This wasn't too difficult because of the abundant secrets that were in Kite Runner. The trickier part was to figure out exactly how these different secrets changed the course of people's lives.
While thinking about the way that secrets changed the characters' lives in the story, I began to think about how secrets change people's lives in the real world. It was interesting to think about because secrets aren't usually a topic I find myself thinking about unless I have one myself.
