Comparing to Heart of Darkness

The unknown is what we cannot see and what we do not understand. Kite Runner is filled with the unknown. The unknown scares some but interests others. In the Heart of Darkness, Kurtz’s views to the natives as “the horror” because he his scared by what he does not know. Which is opposite to Amir in Kite Runner, Amir spends his life learning about the unknown and is not afraid of it, but he challenges it. Horror is different for everyone, horror to Kurtz is the unknown, and horror to Amir is what he saw on that day in the winter of 1975. Horror is when we don’t know and do nothing to find out.

    Good thinking here. Some very original thoughts. I think you're certainly capable of a bit more depth, but that is not to say that what is here is lacking in any way.
