This image illustrates Soraya's journey throughout the book and her struggle to overcome social boundaries. Soraya is represented by the blossoming flower, showing how she stands out amongst her oppressive culture. She is breaking the lock of social repression, by standing up to her father and speaking out about what she believes in. Throughout the novel, Soraya stood up for her freedoms to both her family and Amir. She explains how she ran away with an Afghan man, which goes against societal norms for women. The rusty chain and pole show the perpetuation of antiquated values that still persist within society.
I really like how you used a flower tied to a lock to represent Soraya's yearning for independence in contrast to the traditional values of Afghan society.
ReplyDeleteI really like the quality of your picture and how the flower stands out from the background making it the focal point of your picture. I believe that you could talk about the shadow behind the pole that would represent Soraya's secret and how she is leaving it behind her and uses it to empower herself to become stronger and more independent of societal norms.
ReplyDeleteI love the image choice, very creative. The picture really capture the empowerment Soraya portrays in Kite Runner, by standing up for her freedoms, speaking what she believes etc. Descriptions matches really well.

ReplyDeleteI really like the composition of the photo -- in addition to having a deeper meaning, it's a well put together image in itself. Could the rusting and the peeling paint of the pole and chain also represent the way that these norms erode over time?
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the vibrancy of the flower to contrast to how much Soraya stands out in Afghan culture. In addition, the way you explain the significance of the lock makes a deep connection to the reading and is more than just the obvious insight.
ReplyDeleteI like how Soraya is represented by the flower and how it looks like the flower is breaking the lock. This connects with Soraya overcoming social boundaries very well.
