  5. Sample Short Answer STRONG: Much of what forms a person’s identity is what happens to him/her in the past. It is often impossible to escape the past and its effects on us. In The Kite Runner, the narrator says that you can “bury the past, but it will claw itself back out” (2). He believes that what you do in the past, event if it has been hidden, still comes to light. From this, we can infer that the narrators past is going to resurface and come back to haunt him.
