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.
