Dear Kahled Hosseni,

Hello Mr.Hosseni. In my English class, we just got finished with your novel The Kite Runner.Your book, has been the best school book I have ever read in English class. I was very surprised of all the information that I learned about the political struggle in Afghanistan, and especially surprised that this was a story of your childhood in Kabul from then on.From your childhood, Kabul seemed to be a very wonderful place. I was fascinated by the fact that instead of supermarkets, you had a bazaar to get all of your groceries. I also found it interesting that unlike The United States, the season everyone looked forward to was school offs, and exciting seasons of winter opposed to Summer. Aside from all of the facts that I learned, your book has truly touched my heart. Although Amir’s cruel charecteristics had made me angry in the beginning of the story, by reading the last page his bravery had left me in tears. In the beginning, I thought BaBa was a hero of some sorts, but you even over rid that. I could never imagine returning to a country under the circumstances you had too; but you did it anyway when you were well of aware of the consequences you could have suffered, a very high chance at that too. Although you said Amir was a coward, I believe not even the bold could have done what you did. You really did what would be considered the impossible, and I admire you for that. You have showed me that if you want something, you must do whatever it takes to get there; and to always try no matter how unrealistic it seems.Although BaBa and Rahim Khan had some-what shunned you for your treatment to Hassan as a child, your journey would have made them more than proud. You not only taught me the culture of Afagnistan, but the devestation for a power struggle.You even writing this novel was brave, because it exposed the true horrors of the Taliban. Reading your book, encouraged me to stand against terrible and totalitarian governments like the

    The sun’s rays beamed upon Kabul. It had not rained for many months now. The grass had almost vanished and any remaining patches of grass looked rough and shaggy like uncombed hair that felt coarse as my feet brushed across a patch of dried grass along the ground. The heat was particularly unbearable this morning as I was drenched with sweat. It trickled down my down my face and back like a waterfall and made a puddle on the ground, almost as if I was being teased by Mother Nature. I couldn’t stop pondering about the heat. It rained down on the village like a breath from hell. As I scanned across the ground it was as if the scorched sand shimmered in the penetrating white rays of the sun. I remembered my mother warning me that the…

    encountering obstacles day by day. It has been mental tribulation and misery throughout this time period for being segregated as a Hazara from the Pashtuns. I mean no iniquity to anybody, yet I am discriminated and hated in this society for my beliefs. It is not just about me, but it involves the people of my kind. Although we did have an uprising in the early nineteenth century, it was brutally suppressed by the Pashtuns. At the same time, we were described by derogatory terms which includes “mice eating” and “flat nosed”. This was all because of the fact that we were Shia muslims and they were Sunni Muslims. Right now, I am working diligently as Baba’s servant along with Hassan. This comes from cleaning dishes, washing clothes, cleaning the house and cooking food daily without any dissatisfaction or confusions. At the same time, I think that the furthest I can go in this Pashtun-based society is only being chosen as a domestic servant. However, I still find the time to complete my 5 daily salaat. These 5 daily prayers provide me with a strong and spiritual relationship with God. Do you know when I was taken into this position Amir ? When two high and drunk Pashtuns driving hit and killed both my parents. This was the time period where Baba’s father took me in, where Baba and I grew up together. Although we did grow up together, Baba never referred to me as a friend. Similarly, for our ethnic and religious differences. At the same time , I continue to refuse to give up my morals and my lifestyle in Afghanistan in contempt of my beliefs.…
