Write a claim that analyzes the significance of returning to one's homeland in both "Children" and The Kite Runner.
Response
The metaphor of the archer in Kahlil Gibran's poem symbolizes the guiding force behind children's lives, reinforcing the theme that parents should nurture their independence and direction without trying to control or predetermine their paths.
The return to one's homeland in "The Kite Runner" and the metaphorical journey in Kahlil Gibran's "On Children" both signify the crucial act of confronting past choices and cultural roots, serving as pivotal moments for personal redemption.
