The Kite Runner

In the beggining of the Kite Runner,it was sort of confusing and didn't immediately get me hooked. But as I got farther in the chapters,I started understanding and feeling a lot of emotions. It mostly brought me anger,frustration,and a questioning feeling.

In the last couple of chapters, Amir meets up with Assef once again. I think this is carma for not helping Hassan out. Amir got what he deserved but what he did was still unforgivable. Some of the pumishments he has gotten are not being able to have babies,loosing people he loves,getting beat up,and not being able to apologize to Hassan. He deserves more lessons because if Hassan were still alive he probably wouldn't apologize.

Amir is really selfish! I say this because even after Rakhim told him about Sohrab,he felt sorry for himself and didn't wana go back to Kabul to at least help out his own blood. when he did accept to go he wasn't planning on keeping his last family member. He also doesn't want to help the poor innocent orphans. I think he should donate money to orphanages to decrease at least a little bit of their suffering.

Can't Amir take hints? In the letter that Hassan wrote, It talked about how his wife got beaten at a grocery shop for talking loud and how he had to witness his wife get beaten and he couldn't prevent it. I think this was Hassan's way of showing forgiveness of the incident that happened and that he wasn't holding a grudge. He knew that if Amir stepped in something would have happened to Amir to.

Sohrab's life is very sad and heart breaking. I understand why he attempted to commit suicide and why he muted or shut the world out. If I were in his position, I would have done the same thing. I wonder what's going to happen with him though???

I think Assef should be dead right now because it's not a valid reason to slaughter your own people because you witnessed sad things. He is a bully and needs to die right now!!
