The Examination of Complicated Relationships between The Flying Troutmans and The Kite Runner

Amir has several intrapersonal conflicts throughout The Kite Runner. Amir has mixed feelings in his relationship with Hassan, due to Hassan’s lesser social status as a Hazara.

Assef points out the first social conflict when he asks Amir how he can call Hassan his friend and Amir thinks, “But he’s not my friend! I almost blurted. He’s my servant!” (41). The response that Assef evoked from him highlights the inner dispute Amir has in his childhood. Hassan also played a role in Amir’s development since he always looked out for Amir.

While creating an adaptation of The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews, I wanted to keep her themes, literary devices, tone and interactions intact. This notion led to my choice to create the adaptation on the first five chapters of the novel because of its heavy focus on character development and appeals to pathos to get the reader attached emotionally to the characters. As an adaptation, it is important to be fairly faithful in regards to the messages the original author intended to deliver to the reader while being able to put a different perspective on it. Due to this, there was a lot of time dedicated to how I could keep her used literary devices intact as I visually represent the novel through this different medium. Though I chose a more
