The Intense book called The Kite Runner!

After reading the first 124 pages of The Kite Runners by Khaled Hosseini, I find this book very intense and full of conflicts on every page. The narrator in the story was named Amir who lived in the Wazir Akbar Khan district. He was raised in a wealthy family and lived with his BaBa. Also, he lives in a neighborhood with a friend named Hassan who lives in a mud shack with his father Ali that works for Amir’s family.

Hassan was very loyal to Amir. One example was that in the book when Amir threw pomegranates at Hassan so then Hassan could hit him. Hassan didn’t but instead he picked up a pomegranate and crushed it towards its forehead. In my mind, I know that Hassan didn’t’ want to hurt Amir because Hassan is loyal to him.Another example was that Hassan always help Amir get ready in the morning. The biggest thing was that Hassan doesn’t even go to school. All he does all day was work as a servant.  

As I read, I found that Amir is a selfish brat who don’t treat Hassan as a friend after all what Hassan had helped him on. Amir even said that he believe Hassan is just his servant and not a friend. One of the most intense conflict that I had read from the story was about Hassan getting rape in the alley. Hassan can’t defend himself because two guys were grabbing him. In the conflict, Amir was there however he was hiding where he can’t be seen. Amir didn’t defend Hassan instead he was just standing there watching Hassan getting rape. Why would he just stand there?? He should have ran and get some help or do something.

           Another Intense moment that caused me to tear was the part when Hassan and his father Ali wanted to leave Amir and his dad. Hassan and his father Ali asked Amir’s father to drive them to the bus station so they can go live with Ali’s cousin. Amir’s father refused and started to cry and what did Amir do? Amir wasn’t crying and this show that he don’t really care about Hassan a lot. They were feed from the same breast and they were raise together. Amir should be sadder than Amir’s father! This book so far is telling me that Amir don’t appreciate Hassan!
