The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner
Everyone has something they do that they really wish they could just take back. People ask for a second chance but more importantly, forgiveness. Khaled Hossenini shows a great example of this In his novel, “The Kite Runner”. The main character, Amir, goes through many events in the book that he regrets and later ends up seeking forgiveness.
No one just decides they want forgiveness from someone, they do something they wish they could take back then realize what they have done is wrong. Amir for example has a long list of things he dose wrong. Not only dose he do wrong, he dose these things to his best friend, Hassan. While Amir knows he much smarted that Hassan he uses that as an advantage by teasing him about the meaning of words when he is reading to him. Small things like that happen everyday but some actions are so terrible they will haunt you for the rest of your life. Amir’s experience with this happening to him is when he witnessed Hassan being raped and did absolutely nothing to help him or tell anyone about the incident. “I had one last chance to make a final decision. One final opportunity to decide who I was going to be… In the end I ran” (Hosseini 77) Here Amir tells him self that he can do what is right and save Hasssan but instead chooses to run, a decision that he will regret for almost the rest of his life. Amir isn’t the type of person that can just let something like this go, he thinks about it every minute of everyday and he cant just tell someone or talk to Hassan about it. He has his own way of dealing with his problem. Amir basically avoids Hassan as much as possible ever since the rape happened. Even when Hassan tries to play with Amir He barley speaks to him and his replies are short. This may not be the any other person would deal with a problem like this but Amir was just a scared little boy. He even goes out of his way to plant a watch he got and money for his birthday under Hassan’s bed to frame Hassan. Amir’s
