Persuasive Essay On The Kite Runner

Dear Mr. Moe: Researches have proven that reading expands one’s vocabulary, and knowledge. It also helps improve one’s focus and concentration, as well as their writing skills. By having a Laurel Reads city-wide program all these effects will be put into play, and the primary beneficiary of all this would be our youth. But of course, other members of the city will also benefit from this. A Laurel Reads city-wide program will ultimately maximize every citizen’s intellect. This does not only benefit the citizens, but the city as well. A book like The Kite Runner would successfully accomplish this goal by entertaining our citizens. Although The Kite Runner is a fiction, it also serves as a historical

novel. It informs its readers about The Soviet War in Afghanistan in 1979 through 1989, a war that many of us may not be familiar with. It discusses its hardship and the negative effect the war had on Afghanistan. This helps improve the reader’s knowledge about what went in history. The novel also emphasizes the importance of loyalty, love, and determination, all of which apply to our everyday life. Although the novel did not have numerous sophisticated words, it did have some. The style used in this novel also exposes readers to a style of writing different from what they are used to. The novel is also about four hundred pages long, so it will definitely challenge the reader’s focus and concentration. More importantly, most people can relate to it. A large part of Laurel’s population are immigrants, or descent of immigrants, and a part of this novel focuses on immigrating to the U.S. In conclusion, Laurel citizens will buy into reading The Kite Runner.This would help kick off a Laurel Reads city-wide. At the end, most of our citizens will be more educated. The more educated they will be, the more jobs opportunities will be open for them. This means an increase in their income, as well as in the city’s income. More students will also be accepted to their dream school, as well as receive scholarships. A community’s success is always proportionate to its city’s success, so a Laurel Reads city-wide is beneficial to both parties.
