Why is it important to analyze the information you are using for textual evidence? (using your own words)
Explanation:
It is important to analyze the information you are using for textual evidence because authors often use literary devices like imagery and similies to convey the bigger meaning of the text or, the theme. If textual evidence is not analyzed the possible real meaning will not be understood by the reader, unless the evidence is analyzed.
Answer:
As readers, writers and thinkers, it is natural for students to develop ideas, ask questions, and make claims regarding what they are reading. Citing textual evidence requires students to look back into the text for evidence to support an idea, answer a question or make a claim.

Kite Runner Chapter 7 Dream and Memory
Read “A memory” on pg 73.
Summarize the memory:
Theres a lake with no one in it but everyone thinks theres a monster in it and Hassan and Amir get in the water anyways
Why is it significant? Why does Amir remember this memory at this moment?
Read “A memory” on 73-74
Summarize the memory:
Why is it significant? What does it mean? What does it reveal to the reader about Hassan?
Read “A Dream” on 74
Summarize the dream:
Analyze this dream. What might it mean? What does it suggest/reveal? What is symbolic?
10: Read the italicized portion on 76-77.
Summarize:
Analyze this memory. What connection does it have to what is happening to Hassan? What is symbolic?
After running away and admitting his cowardice, Amir says: “Nothing is free in this world. Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay, to win Baba. Was it a fair price? The answer floated to my conscious mind before I could thwart it: He was just a Hazara, wasn’t he?” (77).
What does Amir mean in this quote? What does it reveal about his character? Does it change the way you view him?
What does Amir mean when, upon meeting Hassan with the blue kite in his hand, he says, “…what would I see if I did look into his eyes? Blame? Indignation? Or, God forbid, what I feared most: guileless devotion? That, most of all, I couldn’t bear to see” (78)
Answer:
Oh! Love this book!!
The Lake Dream:
Amir remembers the dream because it reflect what Hassan thinks of him- his best and only friend, brave and daring, someone who he could climb mountains with. They are unafraid of the monster below, and Amir even proves that there is no monster. This can also be taken as symbolism for their society, where the monster is the stereotypes against Hassan and his ethnic minority, only for Amir to prove that they are not true at all.
But as he himself reflects on the dream, he changes the meaning by calling himself the monster, the terrible beast who has betrayed Hassan. He does nothing, caught up by what his society values and how he is under no obligation to help his servant, a Hazara. He becomes the embodiment of his culture's racism instead of its rebel, he is the monster.
The Lamb Memory:
Here Amir says that he sees the same eyes in Hassan as the lamb he once sacrificed. He is sacrificing his entire relationship with Hassan for the kite, which he thinks is his best chance at winning over his father's love. Especially, he is trading the life of one for another. Amir didn't want to sacrifice the lamb, but he did so because it would please his father. Amir believed the kite will please his father, but deep down he knows what he is allowing is wrong, and it's the same type of conflict he felt for the lamb.
The comparison from Hassan to a lamb also shows what Amir thinks of him in this moment: not human. Amir's society allows him to take the cowards way out without any reproduction, and he does. It is still his fault because he knows better, his Baba and Hassan himself taught him better, but in his fear he justified his actions by dehumanizing Hassan into just a lamb for slaughter. This gives us a new perspective of him since before now he was very close to Hassan and values him as a friend.
Hassan's Eyes:
Amir almost immediately regrets what he has done, to the point where he can't even look Hassan in the eyes. He feels ashamed.
Despite justifying his lack of action, Amir still feels that he deserves to be punishes severely for his betrayal. That is why above any negative emotions that Hassan might have for him, his greatest fear would be seeing that Hassan doesn't regret being raped for Amir, knowing now that Amir is satisfied with the outcome as well. Amir realizes that despite sacrificing Hassan for his relationship with Baba, Hassan would do it for him knowing his loyalty is not returned.
Aaaa it's suck a good book you're gonna love it. Keep an open mind, it's a little hard to grasp at first but it gets easier. Keep looking for connections between Amir's morals and his current society. Best of luck!

Match each example of figurative language with its meaning. stood like a pillar of cloud torn and faded banners of the departed summer ancient blood-stains against the dark-blue sky Meaning Figurative Language divine light arrowBoth reminders of earlier days arrowBoth crimson red arrowBoth

Meaning: A Simile is a figurative language that makes a comparison between two things of a different kind to make a vivid description using 'like' or 'as'.
