The Kite Runner; blog #4

The end of this novel was full of so much information! I was surprised by the ending and I was a little let down that there wasn't any real sort of closer. One of the main lessons this book teaches is that no matter who you are dealing with you need to treat them the way you would want to be treated. When Amir learned about Hassan's background, he regretted even more the way he treated him. This novel also taught me not to expect a book to always be happy, becasue that's not how most people's stories end.
I'm so glad i read this book. I was really impressed with the connections between the charaters and how the author was able to amke all of the characters relatable. It's one of my favorite books.

This story has many ups and downs. First its happy then it turns to sad then it's back to happy and just when you think the story will keep getting happier, it turns sad again. Baba's death was so sad. A lot of people showed up to the funeral but Amir was heartbroken. I'm really glad that he convinced his father to talk to the general before he died though. Amir and Soraya make such a good cuple! Also I think Baba's growth as a character was very big. He went from being ashamed of his son to really caring for him. Showing him the light on his watch to keep him focused in the dark fuel tank truck, getting him a car, supporting his writing, helping him with his marriage, and including Amir in his life. I've really enjoyed this story so far, all the ups and the downs.

As i continue to read The Kite Runner, I am still disappointed in Amir. Although he feels guilty for not helping his friend he does nothing about it. Instead he accepts everything his father gives him, he always wants to spend time with him and for the first time his father is willing to do it. Even though Hassan is clearly going through a rough time, Amir does nothing. There were plenty of times where Amir could talk to Hassan and work things out but he doesn't. I really don't like that he is slefish and that he didn't do anything when Ali told Baba they he and Hassan were leaving. But i am really enjoying the story.
