For you a thousand times over...
The Kite Runner By Khaled Hosseini
The Kite Runner, written by Khaled Hosseini, tells the extraordinary story of an unlikely friendship between a wealthy Afghan boy, named Amir, and Hassan, the son of his father's servant — who he later finds out, after Hassan's death, has always been his half-brother.
- I'm pleased by Hassan's first word.
- Twelve years of friendship
- Rahim's ability to treat Amir like a son.
- "For you a thousand times over."
- The way Amir is treating Hassan makes my blood boil.
- Amir and Hassan were deceived by Amir's father
- Amir leaving Hassan even though he knew about it
- Assef is a complete asshole.
My favorite scene is when Hassan and Amir are reading a book together in the shade of a pomegranate tree. And although Hassan's letter to Amir is my favorite portion of the narrative, it makes me sad.
Would I suggest it? While technically true, be aware of potential trigger warnings and make sure to have plenty of tissues ready. Because some of the content in this book can be concerning for young readers, it is not recommended that anyone under the age of 17 reads it.
While essentially a grief narrative, the story shows how the characters' friendships develop and the value of loyalty.Before reading this, I advise you to make sure your mental health is in good condition because some themes in this article may make you feel anxious or depressed.
The Kite Runner is a reminder that decency is always possible, no matter how hard life may seem. Everyone makes mistakes. There is a way to make up for our wrongs. A new day is dawning today, and with it comes an opportunity.Be sure to take advantage of it!
