Identity in “The Kite Runner” and “Mr Pip”

Write a persuasive essay regarding the two books read in this course (Mr. Pip, and The Kite Runner) and the topic of identity. You need to create a thesis statement or argument about identity. Think about how identity is handled in the two novels. (Do the main characters or protagonists of the two novels understand their own identity? Or do they come to understand it as they tell their stories? Do the main characters explore identity only to discover something? What is it? What is the so what about identity? What do you think the authors of these novels really want to say about identity? That will be your thesis statement.) You must have an introduction, six body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You need to find at least 12 quotations that will help you defend your argument: six from each novel. Since you have six body paragraphs in your outline, you need about 12 quotes, two per paragraph. Use the final essay outline as well as the other additional materials provided as a guideline.
