Soraya The Storyteller Analysis

Soraya the Storyteller is a heartwarming story written by Rosanne Hawke. She is an award winning author who wrote Soraya the Storyteller in the early 2000’s. I believe that Rosanne Hawke’s intention was to inform people about how hard life in Afghanistan can be, and how people living in wealthy countries need to understand that. Soraya the Storyteller is a novel about a girl who has fled from her war-torn country of Afghanistan. You follow her journey as she finds a new life in Australia.

Soraya the Storyteller starts with Soraya starting at her new school in Australia, and every few chapters it changes back to her memories. I really liked how every time it changed back to her memories, it was written in a different font, like Soraya was writing in her diary. You continue following Soraya and looking into her past. She faces many struggles but also many times when she feels a lot of happiness. Soraya the Storyteller is similar to a few texts.

One of them is “I am Malala.” which is the story of Malala Yousafzai, who lived in Pakistan and experienced some of the same difficulties with the Taliban that Soraya did.

In Soraya The Storyteller one of the main things that I like is how Rosanne Hawke, changes the font when you are reading Soraya’s Memories. Another thing I liked was how you viewed many different parts of Soraya’s life, not just one aspect. You read about her memories, her experiences at school, her experiences at home with her family, how she meets new people and how she loves to write stories. Some things that I don’t like is that this story is quite easy to read and at some parts, it is quite predictable. This story is quite easy to read, yet it may be too upsetting for younger readers. Also, in some parts it is quite predictable, therefore making some parts of this book unexciting to
