Most are tucked away, hoping to reach their long awaited slumber before the clock strikes 12. Others linger in the bar trying to forget the mishaps of a soon-to-be forgotten day. If you stay quiet you can hear the tumbleweeds brush across the dirt roads.

10th Grade Common Writing Assessment #1 In “Harrison Bergeron,” Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. uses irony to illustrate how enforcing absolute equality would require a ridiculously totalitarian society. This story begins with introducing George, who is forced to wear handicaps the government from thinking or having physical abilities above average.

Each theme has its own road and ideas, but they all lead back to loss. The city of loss and the three roads, of fatherhood, betrayal and identity. The first theme road I'll travel down is fatherhood, and the role it plays in the character's lives during The Kite Runner. Hosseini has used fatherhood in a strong yet subtle way throughout the novel; Amir takes the obvious father son role with Baba and underneath is Baba's discreet fatherly leanings towards Hassan. From Amir's narrative view we see a boy who strives to be something his father can be proud of and a father who is disappointed in his son.
For instance in Peter’s letter, in short paragraph, he questioned Alexis about who will continue what he has begun and letting his son know about his potentials but rather he is hiding his talent beneath the earth.
