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.
Comparison of Creation Accounts practice essay The first two chapters of Genesis have been compared greatly since their creation. These key comparative aspects are seven-fold; they include date of writing, the audience, origin, literary forms and significance, theology, purpose/ meaning for each community and their meaningfulness to today's society.

I will explore how the perceptions of belonging and not belonging can be influenced by external forces through the two Peter Skrzynecki poems ‘Felik’s Skrzynecki’ and ‘St Patrick’s College’ and my related text ‘New Boy’, a short film by Steph Green.
