Personification. the words economic development and reform danced on the lips of Kabul”This is an example of Personification because it is giving a non human object a roll as a human. Also I think the author uses to give mood. This another Example: “At parties, when all six-foot-five of him thundered into the room, attention shifted to him like sunflowers turning to the sun" This a personification because it refers the people entering like thunder.
Metaphor: Kites were the one paper-thin slice of intersection between those spheres” It is a metaphor because he is comparing two things, and it is not real.
Flashbcak:Hassan and I used to clim the poplar trees in the driveway of my fathers house and annoy our neighbors by reflecting sunlight into their homes with a shard of a mirror”. This flashback shows how Amir and Hassan used to be and how the lived. It shows how they both feeled also it makes you go back to the begining of the story letting you rember.
Simile:"Our apartment is built like a train, narrow in the front with rooms extending out to the back,” This is a simile because it compares two thing using the word as or like. It shows how the characters in the book live.
Foreshadoing: Mama turns into a stork. Keep them safe, she says. There’s going to be a storm” It gives the feeling that something bad will happen.
Symbolism: Building the Kite together shows the freindship of the two boys, also when Hassan gets rape , it shows how much he cares for Amir and does not says a word.
Digresive Time: In the book it often happens that the subject is changed to the guilt that Amir has for not helping Hassan not being raped. (Is the story being told back.)
Progresive time.: The cronological order of something, in the book it has both.
Atmosphere: The atmosphere is always tense, and their are a few times thats happy. as an example is when they are trying to escape in the tank the atmosphere seems quiet and everyone is stressed.
Plot twist : When the story changes from one moment to another, but to happen their has to be a hint. In the kite runner their is not an example of this.
Suspense: When they author gives feeling that something critical is going to happen, as an example when Hassan feel sick its make a suspense if he will ever tlk again to Amir
These examples are very easy to understand and they are well-explained. I like how you gave clear explanations on each one to make them extra easy to understand how they are a good example. However, sometimes you seemed to quote the actual story, instead of summarize the parts you found with figurative language in your own words. That's the one place where the examples could have been better and more originally written.
