Search Reflections
Throughout the course of my iSearch research, I gained more insight into each character psychological mindset and got the opportunity to track their psychological development over time. This research allowed me to better understand why characters made certain decisions or acted in a certain way during various parts of the novel. When I first read the novel, I had a difficult time connecting with certain characters, such as Amir. I was unable to understand why he made certain decisions. For example, I wondered why he told Hassan the incorrect meaning to various words he read from books. It did not seem like he gained much out of it, besides a little bit of amusement, and it was a mean thing to do. When it comes to Hassan, I thought about why Hassan did not react aggressively towards Amir after the rape incident. Hassan did ignore him for some times, but after that he tried to mend the situation without even confronting the issue. Through the psychological analysis of the characters in the novel, I was able to answer these questions of mine and gain a better understanding of the characters' actions and choices.
Prior to completing project, I had only learned about psychological concepts in a classroom setting. Although I had a fairly good understanding of all of the concepts I discussed, I had never been able to imagine all the concepts working together, as they do in reality. This iSearch allowed me to identify multiple psychological concepts that are obvious throughout the course of the novel and see how they occur in unison. By connecting these concepts in relationship to this novel, I was able to gain an understanding of how the various concepts work in unison.
