Linguistic Features
This is a fairly useful and comprehensive list of linguistic devices. I simply took this list from the following website - http://literary-devices.com/ (click on the words on the website for their definitions)
However, I have put stars next to the ones which are specifically common in the narrative of 'The Kite Runner'.
Obviously you won't be able to remember them all. Not all are relevant. But look at the ones I've starred for you!
