Since i have finished the Kite Runner novel i have acquired more knowledge on the whole book. It really brings out a meaning and make you think how hard it was for Amir to actually live in his time and place.
In the story Amir and Hassan roam the streets of peaceful Kabul. Amir's father Baba loves both the boys but criticizes Amir for not being manly enough. Amir through the whole story is intimidated by his father because he is afraid that Baba will blame him for his mother's death during his deliverance at birth. However Baba has a nice father attitude and figure in the story. Assef a older meaner and violent boy blames Amir for socializing with a Hazara. According to Assef inferior race should only live in Hazarajat. They get into it Hassan sticks up for Amir and the Assef claims revenge.
The last passage i will share is about the kite runner. Amir wins the local tournaments and fathers praise. During the tournament Hassan runs into Assef and his two henchmen Hassan refuses to give up Amir's kite, so Assef keeps his revenge, by beating and raping him. Amir got worried why it was taking Hassan so long so in search of him he hears Assef's voice and witnesses the rape and to scared to do anything he hides. Amir and Hassan don't speak for a while because of Amir betrayal, but reunite at the end.
This book has a great ending and a 10 rating overall great for all High School or Junior High School students.
