KITE RUNNER BOOK REVIEW

The most shocking and appalling things happen in the book, many situations that leave people wanting more information, but makes them want to close the book at the same time because the information. The Fiction Novel, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini takes place in Kabul Afghanistan in the middle of a battle between the Shi’a and the Hazaras. Baba a Shi’a one of the richest people in Kabul takes in Ali and his son Hassan, a childhood friend that he was raised with. Baba hired Ali who happened to be a Hazara as a house helper. Ali and his son lived in a house on the property of Baba. Amir the son of Baba, a selfish jealous child that envied Hassan. The envy and jealousy is demonstrated throught the entire book. An example that is demonstrated in this situation.
“But before you sacrifice yourself for him, think about this could he do the same for you? Have you ever wondered why he never includes you in games when he has guests? Why he only plays with you when no else is around? Ill tell you why, Hazara. Because to him your nothing but an ugly pet. Something that he can play with when he is bored, something he can kick around when he angry. Don’t fool yourself and think you’re something more.” 
(The kite Runner, Page 77)

He was not a friend Amir, but he was something lower than that. Amir became something so low and sorrow. Amir could have decided whether to deny and go against the allegations against him, or accept them. However, Amir Reacted by staying quiet.




Amir had stood in the position before, in the position where he had also noticed his own behavior treating Hassan differently than the other children that he knew and would hang out with. He knew he treated Hassan as something else, and not as a person. Amir stood out greatly in comparison with the others. He had many problems with many people throught the story. Whether Amir argued, accused or with other characters, he always ended in a place where he hurt people. In addition, not only did he have and add weird and mixed emotions to the story but also he acted in ways that many people would disagree and not understand believed to be morally wrong. Amir had mood swings and moments where he contradicted himself and others by speaking or being a traitor to people around him. To the people who he allegedly loved, cared and respected, in ways he could not understand, and could not do the same. When in need of help or having moments of misunderstanding, Amir never went to ask that of people around him in a situation that he did not like to be able comprehend the exact details and their perspective. Amir reacted by zoning out surrounding himself in a bubble away from others. Don’t fool yourself and think you’re something more.” this reveals and demonstrates the feelings and emotions that Amir reveals and is obvious to others including the town’s bully Assef. Amir could not show much if not any respect to others including his family, friends loved ones and himself. The only act that Amir could show to others was that of being a selfish coward and intolerant B*****D.



In what position did Amir stand after heading to America? Was it a mistake that later led to further situations, problems and misfortune in the story. Did Amir and his father Babba’s decisions lead to them having worse problem that they would have had in Kabul Pakistan their homeland? Not only did the move to the United States change the lifestyle for Amir and his father but for others in their hometown including Hassan. Baba began to live and the work with effort to live and earn their money, but not living well enough as compared to what they had in the beginning of the story. Baba was one of the wealthiest people in the land in Kabul, having a big house and a lifestyle to fit the best of the best. Once they arrived in the United States, Baba and Amir had to work very hard in earning all the income that they would be receiving throught their life. In the United States not only did Babba have to work earning income throught the week at a liquor store, but he felt that it was necessary for him to go to earn extra money to survive and live well. Baba decided he would earn that by Amir and him taking extra time to make more income support their lifestyle. The lifestyle of Baba changed dramatically in different ways including those of seeing and interacting with people that he was not accustomed to being with, conversing, and having moments in which they were together. Not only did the change of locations bad for Amir but it affected and changed things for the people that back in hometown Kabul. Those changes were those of life and death.



The last few chapters in the book become very interesting and eye catching the audience and readers. The story became interesting and eye catching in the way that all began to come together and many exiting details for the reader.



Soon after Amir goes back to his hometown of Kabul to meet with another character, he is informed by letter about Hassan’s life’s great detail and how it developed and changed since Amir talked and seen him. Hassan’s life changed and developed dramatically and became different from peoples expectations.



Amir finally wanted to be helpful, take care of Hassan’s child, and make a difference. Amir finally began to feel guilty about what happened to Hassan in the beginning of the story. Amir was trying to build off of the situation and make a relationship with Hassan, one that he could have had. He wanted to redeem himself into not feeling as such a bad person as he felt on the inside. Amir believed it would change his feelings and let the pain and weigh off of his shoulders.



The purpose of Khaled Hosseini’s novel was to be able to reflect on morality and being attentive on actions and result that shape the future that would come and evolve to change the book. This book demonstrates the purpose in many parts of the book, it is incorporated in many parts to help the reader understand clearly and piece the parts of the puzzle. The characters actions and thoughts are very important and are the main part of the book, rather than the detail that comes after. The book’s focus and ideas are meant to be understood and captured from those of people with high maturity and level of understanding.

3rd Bookmark

In the realistic Fiction novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, the last few chapters in the book become very interesting and eye catching the audience and readers. The story interesting and eye catching in the way that all that happens rolls up and begins to come together and it is one of the big BOOMS in the story.


Soon after Amir one of the man characters goes back to his hometown of Kabul, he is informed by letter about Hassan another one of the main characters, about his life’s detail and how it changed and developed. Hassan’s life changed and developed into being married with one child named Sohrab. Hassan led to being killed soon after he arrived back into Babba’s house his actual father. Sohrab was then taken into custody by the government and placed into an orphanage with other children.

Soon after Amir became aware of the place where Sohrab had been placed and where he was, Amir wanted to go and search for him. Amir went to the orphanage and was asking for Sohrab, and soon after finding that he was not there he became extremely anxious and was worrying about him. Amir soon became extremely demanding and wanted to know where Sohrab was. Amir learned about the situation that Sohrab was placed in, after being sold and taken from the orphanage. Amir aggravated and questioned for more details about the situation and who had taken Sohrab. Imeadiately after knowing the person who had taken Sohrab was in the coliseum Amir wanted to go in find out to then later rescue him.

Why was it that Amir had finally been placed in the position where he wanted to be helpful and take care of Hassan’s child? Amir finally began to feel guilty about what happened to Hassan and him as a child. Amir was trying to build off of the situation and relationship that he had with Hassan. He wanted to redeem himself into being equal and not feeling as such a bad person as he was thought to be. Amir believed it would change his feelings for himself and let the pain and weigh off of his shoulders.

Distractions in class(TEACHERS)

How do teachers manage to keep track of what people are doing in class? Do teachers have a super powers to they are able to notice the slightest of things that happen? Are people who become teachers trained in paying attention the students and their feelings? What are teacher trained to? Hmmmmmmmmmm lets think, are they just trained in academic classes or in support? What is a teacher supposed to when they see a problem happening in one side of the room while they are teaching? Will they stop teaching and what they are doing and yell across the room to just help and focus on the few students that are in need of help? In some situations, the teachers are the ones that lead to having the distractions! In addition, once they have distracted the class they decided to switch the subject that the whole class was talking about and they blame it on the class! I personally have been in a class where a teacher goes really far out of the topic and what they should be talking about.


What does this do to the class??? Does this help the students listen more to what they are saying since it may be more interesting than what they were normally listening to? Will it lead to the students paying more attention about the class to listen about off-topic subjects and conversate more often? Are the teachers an actual resource that is meant to help lead and tutor the students? On the other hand, a helpful person that comes with many additional things including many stories and way off topic details about something.

Oo I have nothing else to comment or say about this I just wanted to say how teachers are such hypocrites sometimes and they say that we go off topic in their class. We lead to everyone not paying attention to them when they are the one that are talking about something and that later leads to learning about how chairs have four legs= that was an example and not a real thing that we got off topic about. Now that would really be something not worth talking about and that would reflect how much of no lives we are. However, we are not because we did not talk about that. There I am done and way over 350!

Response to Constance/Karen

I will agree with karen in the part where she stated that people are hating on justin Beiber awesome and the people that will end bringgimng him down in the long run. no one will want to listen to his music and he will go broke and out of money with no job to pay for all of his debts wich include getting his nails done. everyone is now aware that justing beiber goes three times a day everyday to nail shop/salon where he decides to  get his nails cut, sharpened and all of his cuticles removed because he wants to "cool" and not care people care! and he also spend milllions of dollars weekly to gety his hair cut! he goes in to the salon and ask for the 3 year-old girl hair cut! and everyone knows exactly what that looks like!


Umm nobody is forcing their opinions on anyone okay! We have the right to express our opinions about whatever we want. You might not give a damn about him but we do. Just because you don't like him and don't listen to his music, it doesn't mean that the whole world is going to stop this because what you say. quite frankly you should eat your own words because you are not being tolerant yourself were not the ones getting all crazy and angry about the opposing side disagreeing with us. We can argue about Justin Bieber all we want, there is no law or rule stating that we stop. Also, speak for yourself when you say no one cares and your tired of hearing it because no one else is complaining but you. If this bothers you a lot then simply don't read it,it's that easy! I suggest that you don't read the haters and fans of Justin Biebers blogs because your the only one being all dramatic about it. If you don't listen to him thats great for you and if you don't like our little discussions about him then why don't you give it a rest because I honestly it doesn't matter either
 I will also agree with Karen in that part where i will not stop posting things about JUSTIN BEIBER he needs to go down once in a while! i will not stop until that day comes! i will never stop making fun of Justin beiber ever ever ever in the world!!!!! nothing and or nobody has the power over me to be able to stop me form Hating on Justin beiber! not even the President of the United States will stop me from making fun of Justin! the force is in me and will always strive for me to make fun of JUSTIN BEIBER!

2nd book report!

In what position did Amir stand after heading to America? Was it a mistake that later led to further situations, problems and misfortune in the story. Did Amir and his father Babba’s decisions lead to them having worse problem that they would have had in Kabul Pakistan their homeland?


Not only did the move to the United States change the lifestyle for Amir and his father Babba began to live and the work effort and sweat they gave to live, but not living well enough as compared to what they had in the beginning of the story. Babba was one of the wealthiest people in the land in Kabul. Having a big house and a lifestyle to fit the best. Once they arrived in the United States, have to work very hard in earning all the income that they would be receiving throught their life. In the United States not only did Babba have to work earning income throught the week at a liquor store. He felt that it was necessary for him to go to earn extra money to survive and live well by him and Amir, in weekends to far lands to find cheap trinkets to later sell on other weekends at a local swap meet. The life style had also changed by seeing and interacting with people that Babba was not accustomed to being with, conversing, and having moments in which they were together. An example that demonstrates this is on page 132 “I don’t care where he was born he’s Russie.” Claimed Babba

Not only was the change of locations bad for Amir but it was also bad for the people that were back in hometown Kabul. If they (Amir and his Babba) had stayed, the house in Pakistan would be occupied with people in it. If the house was occupied it would not be necessary for Rahim Khan to take care of the house. Rahim Khan felt as if he was not up to the expectations that the house needed to be take care of, so he asked Hassan to help him. Hassan, his wife and their son went to the house and lived there, until they were later attacked. Would Hassan have lived and not gone through pain if Amir and Babba had stayed?

Justin Beiber

Justin Bieber is too cute!!! Even if you say you hate him and that his voice sounds like a girl,you know that you secretely like him and secretely listen to his music in the room and you sing along with it in the dark. Oh yeah i know your secret! We encourage you to join even if you are a fan under cover but you need to show off your inner Bieber Fever.
xoxoxoxoxoxo Justin Bieber xoxooxoxo
-Karen Chavez
I want to respond to this post to defend all the Beiber HATERS!!!!!! yeah WOOT-WOOT! people have to understand that every celebrity has people that dis-like their signing voice and everything that may have to do with them, including and in this case it would have to be the voice. Justin Beiber has a very weird or i should "interesting?" voice. who would have thought that fifteen year old teenage boy that is a singer would have a deeper voice than my seven year old cousin! What is up with the voice?

another thing that leads to people;e disliking Justin Bieber would have to be that he a very conceited person that believes he can do whatever he wants to do without getting in trouble. For example, in one movie show in which he was showing his "true scenes" of what really goes on in is life he shows how he studies and spends his time. In school he is home schooled and has a personal teacher and assistant and is able to get a "4.0"?? or at least that is what he says. i noticed that while he is in school and is studying he acts like any other immature child would, but the only difference in what an immature child and Justin was that the immature child was about ten and Justin is five years older. during the video in the stime in which he was studying he could not concentrate or stay still.Justin would mess around and stand up and leave without actually staying still and listening.

One of the most annoying thing that Justin Beiber, HE IS SO CONCEITED. Justin not only "knows" or believe that every loves him but he also stated that the mother of teenage girls love him more than other people. He stated that they went up to him and asked for a poster and for their children but the strange part was that he was sure that the posters were for the mother not for their children. how is Justin so sure he just wants to believe veryone is after his femine look with his little gurl voice and his skater hair! WELL GUESS WHAT NOT EVERY ONE LIKE THE LOOKS OF A LITTLE GIRL! THIS IS THE BODY THAT JUSTINS BEIBER'S VOICE WAS MENT TO BE ON!!!!! !jUSTIN bEIBeRS ReAL BoDY! JuSTiN bEIBeRS ReAL bOdY

Facebook and social networks

Facebook is one of the many sites known as social networks where many friends’ family and people join into a website and start to build friendships and is regularly used. facebook nowadays is used by everyone including young children, teens, adults etc. Facebook is one of the most popular website, visited often my many. Facebook in the week of march 16 beat google in becoming the most visited US website money.cnn.com/2010/03/.../facebook_most_visited/ there is outstanding data collected to and from Facebook and of its users. The amount of people using facebook majorly increases daily in the amount of users, male female, and age and countrywide. Male has 62,060,040 which makes up forty-four percent of the population overall. Females are the majority with 790,374,400 making fifty- six percent of the population overall.

So many people use Facebook in different ways using as it as a tool or just using it for social skill and there also some people as a way to take advantage of others electronically and to harm others. So what is Facebook? Should it be enforced harder and checked more recently for harmful activity that may damage the users? If that does happen will it, contradict and go against the thoughts and the rules made privacy and base on how Facebook was made? Not only could Facebook be harmful in ways of robbery of things, identity theft, and people getting stalked and searched and rape.

Facebook could also get into someone’s mind and begging to addict them, making it a priority for people to get on a computer and start posting. With posting comes some consequences such as bullying and also people knowing the every movement that a person is taking where they live and are in the moment when they are alone, when they are in the bathroom, eating and everything else that they are doing.  People take advantage and now creepers don’t have to leave for little kids to chase they just hop on a computer! Does this give too much power to pedophiles???????? PLEASE RESPOND UR THOUGHTS ABOUT GIVING PEDOPHILES AN ADVANTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts about, The Kite Runner

In the book, the realistic fiction novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini there are many situations and things that happens and are disturbing and make people wonder and think on how to react on what just happened. One of the most shocking and appalling things that happened in the book would have to be the situation in the book in chapter seven where the stories portrays an even of rape to which a young child by other older children.


Another even that took place moments before the rape happened between Amir the son of one of the richest people living in the area and the child of one of his servants, was where true feelings were revealed of the friendship between each other. There were other older teenage kids which were the kids were tormenting and challenging the kids. They made the feelings that Amir had aware to Hassan,“ a loyal hazara. Loyal as a dog.” Assef said.

Kamal’s laugh was a shrill, a nervous sound.

“But before you sacrifice yourself for him, think about this could he do the same for you? Have you ever wondered why he never includes you in games when he has guests? Why he only plays with you when no else is around? Ill tell you why, Hazara. Because to him your nothing but an ugly pet. Something that he can play with when he’s bored, something he can kick around when he angry. Don’t fool yourself and think you’re something more.” Amir was stuck in a controversial position where he was brought out and it could finally be apparent to others of the position where the servants child was in. he was not the friend Amir but he was something lowered that had no name. Amir could have made a decision to decide whether to deny and go against the allegations that had been said against him, or accept and finally tell the truth to his “friend” Hassan.

Amir was had been in this position before, in the position where he had also noticed of his own behavior that he would treat Hassan differently than the other children that he knew and would hang out with. he knew he treated Hassan as something different.

More evidence that could prove the way of how Amir feels about Hassan could be proven during the actual moment of which Hassan was been Raped by the other children. Amir had not made the decision and thoughts of going out to get help and or stop the process of what was happening.
