Should grade 12 University level English be a requirement for entry into all university programs?

I feel that Grade 12 University English should be necessary for university for the simple fact that English is everywhere around us. If I was trying to be an accountant then I need to be able to understand people and communicate my ideas clearly and thoroughly so that my clients don't get confused and I don't get confused. it's not just accounting but in almost every field you go into there will be people you have to talk to and understand what they are saying and if you don't have the ability to communicate and understand people you will most likely fail.

Kite Runner: Archetypal Perspective

Image
Archetype theory can be applied to every text, but in the Kite Runner, it is more evident than ever through the archetype of outcast and crossroads. Outcast: Outcast is someone that feels alone even though they have people all around them. We can see Amir going through this with his dad in the beginning, Around Hassan, and the most important time would be when he was an outcast in his own country. Amir was an outcast in his own house since the day he was born, but being an outcast in your country is a hard thing to be. Amir stated, " I feel like a terrorist in my own country"(Hosseini 231). What Amir means when he said this was that he feels like an outcast because he was blindsided to a whole different side of Afganistan. An outcast can be anyone in the world but Amir has felt like one for his whole life.      Crossroad: In the Kite Runner, all of the characters have gone through a crossroad at least one time in their lives. Some characters like Amir and Baba have more cross

Kite Runner Through the Feminist Lens

   Feminism in the Kite Runner: The Kite Runner was a book placed in Afghanistan, which is a place where you don't see a lot of women having a voice or even Freedom. Khaled Hosseini does a great job of showing what women in Afghanistan must act like and how women from America a voice. Women in Afghanistan: In Afghanistan, women are treated as mear objects who can't say or do anything without their dad or husband telling them to. It is sad to say that most men in Afghanistan are disgusting for the fact that they treat women so badly. One woman that has to follow these outrages rules is Farzana. "She was a shy women, co courteous she in a voice barely higher then a whisper and she did not raise her pretty hazel eyes to meet my glaze" (Hosseini 205). What this quote illustrates is that Farzana doesn't have the freedom of speech which everyone is supposed to have, this quote also shows how women are subroutines to men and how Farzana is a typical Afghanistan woman.

Reader Response : Kite Runner

The Kite Runner  The Kite Runner is an amazing novel and I would suggest it to everybody. While I was reading the novel it made me make a lot of connections from my prior knowledge to what was happening in the text. Even though I haven't been to Afghanistan I can still relate to this book because of Amir's relationship with his father, through the caste system and lastly Amir and Hassan's relationship. Amir And Baba  Amir and Baba's relationship reminded me of my relationship with my father since we didn't always like each other. Amir stated "I wished I too hard some scar that would beget Baba's sympathy. It wasn't fair. Hassan hadn't done anything to earn Baba's affection; He'd just been born with that stupid harelip"(Hosseini 46). I felt this quote deeply since I had a brother growing up too and we did everything together but my dad was always more proud of my older brother since he had a learning disability but had better grades than
