kite runner write up...~ thing..



We as a group decided to make our kite look in a way that it would reflect upon us on how we feel after reading the book. The Heart placed at the centre of the kite symbolises our strong compassion towards kites. The wings we placed on the heart signify the flight of our compassion. We tried to show that we would not let this feelings disappear, so we used a hand to show that it is within our reach. On top of the kite we placed a mini-halo this was to signify our pure feelings about flying the kite. My group and i found in the the making of the kite that we had different feelings and perspectives. Thus, we have come to the conclusion of the design for the kite. The project has inspired us and allowed us to take yet another step closer into english literature.

Inspirations of our kite

     The inspiration of our kite come from our group itself not from any specific object in the world. With such unity and teamwork, my fellow group members were able to finish 2 kites. Our kite was mainly made out of nylon material and a few pieces of plastic sticks. My group members went to a kite outlet in Macpherson to buy our necessary equipment for the kite. Then, we head back to Sauarv's house to construct and decorate our kites.

     We put our kite in the middle and sat in a circle. We brainstormed for ideas but couldn't think of any. Then, all of us decided to a decorate and design the kite based on a theme called ''fire''. The fire in the kite represent the flame that were kept in our heart and that spark of motivation to accomplish the task with joy and teamwork. Everyone in our group painted the kites with attractive colourless and we even craft our own name on the kite. Along the way, we had laughter, giddles but the kite we make was something that we cannot purchase from any other kite shop. The kite represent our effort, teamwork and friendship that brings us closer together as a group.

The Inspiration for our kite

Inspiration of our kite

      Looking at the world from a different perspective, soaring high above the azure sky, mesmerised by the height it reaches yet feeling a tinge of envy. That must be what the Wright brothers felt when they were inspired by a bird flying in the sky just like how we were inspired by the product of there inspiration, planes. 

      Kites flew for many centuries dating back to earlier than 400 bc being the basis to creations of many great flying machines and even used as an object of study by the Father of Aviation, Sir George Cayley. Therefore, we created a primitive diamond structure kite with the paintings of many flying objects over the last few centuries depicting the story behind the creations of aviation from such a simple structure.

      Our kite depicts the history of many aviators and carries the significance of the intention of different planes whether it is used for war, communication or transportation. Regardless of it use they fly under one sky and are a part of our history closely linked to kites.

Kite Making Project

The picture of my kite is an eagle and a rainbow.
I chose an eagle because it glides in the air very steadily without having to flap its wings unlike smaller birds.It also has good eye sight to find its prey.Eagles also can soar into the sky and it is very beautiful to see an eagle soar into the sky.
We chose an eagle because we want our kite to stay in the air as long as possible.
We chose a rainbow as it will only appear after a huge thunder storm to tell us that the storm is over.The rainbowe also appears high in the sky therefore the rainbow is so that we hope that our kite can fly as high as possible into the sky.
