Kite Runner! Last Response! :D

    After reading the last paper clip, I really hate Assef. He raped so many people including Hassan and his son named Sohrab. I find that when Assef got hurt in the eye from Sohrab’s slingshot, he earned it. I believe that I would like the story more better if Assef actually died. He did too much bad Karma, why didn't he die at the end? I realized that life is unfair because Hassan is a good person and he died. Assef did bad karma and was a bad person however he didn't die instead he lost an eye.

    In the story, Rahim Khan ended his contact with Amir by giving Amir a letter. I had the question in my mind like where did Rahim Khan go after the letter was send. My prediction was that Rahim Khan died because in the middle paper clip, it says that he was so skinny and sick. Sometimes Rahim Khan would even cough out blood. I find him really weak and it would be impossible for him to move on to somewhere else except death. Also, I realized that Rahim Khan tried to trick Amir into adopting Sohrab in a good way. He lied to Amir about an adoption center that Sohrab could go after being rescued however that adoption center never existed.


    I freaked out when I read pages 343-344 because I didn't know what happened to Sohrab ,however i know that the situation is bad. I started to tear a little as i read those pages because i thought Sohrab was going to die. He is so young and share many similarities with Hassan. The good part was that Sohrab was okay at the end. I dislike how Sohrab ignored everyone when Amir and him arrived in the United States. I find him really impolite ,however I know that there are many reasons why Sohrab was acting that way. I can step on Sohrab’s shoes and understood that his life is full of hardships. He lost almost all his family member except Amir in such a young age. Also, he was raped by Assef causing him to lose trust towards people.  


   After finishing this book, I realized that this book is really dramatic and intense. This book was great! :)

The Kite Runner <>---- second response. :)

    After reading the second paper clip of The Kite Runner, I realized that there are real such things as karma because in the book it said that there aren’t any way that Amir and his wife Soraya can have a baby. They tried everything, however it did not work. Amir was a selfish person in past and that it lead to bad karma causing him to have no children. As I go farther in the book, there was good karma going on because Hassan was a loyal and nice person and that lead up to give Hassan a sweet little boy were Hassan and his wife had.

Also, there was a change on my perspective towards Amir. In the beginning i found him a selfish, greedy guy. As i read the second paper clip, he isn’t as selfish as i thought he would be. At the part where i was reading this book, i realized that he regretted and went to save Hassan’s son from danger. Another example is when he went to find Hassan’s son, he stopped at his friend’s house. He realized that they were really poor and Amir felt bad for them. At the end, Amir gave a wrist watch to the little boy of the family and he also placed a few crumbled dollars under the mattress before he left. From this, I could tell that Amir is actually a kind person after all.

Another thinking that came up from reading this book so far is how come Amir and his father did not use the money that they use for Amir’s wedding for a down payment for a house. They held the wedding for $ 35,000 dollars and i was wondering why didn’t they buy a house first and settle everything instead of living in a one bedroom house. Also,they could even use these money for a better life by starting a business of some sort. This could help his father with his health and could give everyone a better life. In my opinion, i believe that having a wedding that is $35,000 dollars is not worth it. It is better if they could actually use it more wisely.

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!
