In Chapter 16, Hosseini uses voice narrative to tell the story of Rahim Khan and Hassan in order to fill in the missing puzzle pieces. The chapter sees Rahim Khan take over Amir’s narrative and tell the story by referring to his first hand account of events. Hosseini does this in order to show an alternate point of view, though the account is still largely bias, it offers new perspective for the reader and adds to the exciting intensity of the chapter. Hosseini portrays Rahim Khan’s voice narrative as seemingly more wise due to the religious connotations and old fashioned manner, which contrasts greatly of that of Amir’s in previous chapters. Although, both Amir and Rahim Khan tell their stories in a formal manner.

Our text refers to this concept as internalized roles. For social specifications of behaviors to be effective, individuals must internalize their roles. At very young ages, girls understand that they must be caretakers, that their responsibilities are mainly at home, and one of their jobs is to support the men as they study Jewish history and laws. Girls are not encouraged to consider careers; rather their main priority is finding a proper Jewish husband. An example of how Elizabeth’s behavior is directly affecting her daughters is that one of her daughters is considering going to Israel, which in those times was forbidden by the Rav.
Lucy decides as her friends are reaching puberty that because she will never look like them she will never be loved “in that way” (150). Sadly, Lucy longs for physical beauty because “ When I tried to imagine being beautiful, I could only imagine living without the perpetual fear of being alone, without the great burden of isolation, which is what being ugly felt like,” (177). Beauty will bring her happiness and the confidence to have relationships.

But the remarkable thing about Ruth was…she didn’t care! Courage, in some forms, involves “thumbing one’s nose” to the typical ways of society and following your own way. Like John, Ruth chose to preserve her inner self and work towards her own interests. She faced many conflicts, all of them rooted deep in her own fears. It took courage for her to flee the south, from the only home and the only family she’d ever known, and it took just as much courage for her to defend the new family she created while living in New York.
Lam uses irony through-out the story to expose the reasons that many Vietnamese children living in America will struggle with identity. Lam begins the story with a hint of irony when his Mother asked his aunt “Who will light incense to the dead when we’re gone,” and the aunt replies, “None of my children will do it, and we can forget the grandchildren. I guess when we’re gone, the ritual ends” (Lam, 2011, p. 1077). Although Lam’s Mother has brought her children to America for a better life she is disappointed that they have not kept their Vietnamese identity as she has. “Such is the price of living in America” is the only answer that the narrator has for this.
