What Is The Climax Of The Kite Runner
This book “The Kite Runner” made me emotional from the way this book ends. I like the way that the book was written. The stories behind each character was interesting. The climax especially was very cruel.The way people were in order to get accepted into their culture was also rough in a way/ Although, the whole book was good.
My personal reaction to this was emotional because of the things that happened in the story. The main characters ahim and Hassan were both young boys who were at the age of ten when the story has started. Ahim was a boy who lived with his father and his servants in this big house in afghanistan. While Hassan was one of the poor people where he lived at the time. Both boys weren’t really accepted in their culture because

It actually worked. After that, Ahim and his father Baba, had decided to leave afghanistan and move to the states. By the time they moved over to the U.S, Ahim was already an adult in his early twenties. While he was there, Baba was diagnosed with cancer and before he dies he wanted something from Ahim. What he wanted him to do was that he wanted him to marry this one girl named sarim. Eventually they did get married and Baba was the one who paid for their wedding. Unfortunately Baba dies from cancer. One day Ahim receives a call from afghanistan, it was a man who had knew Ahim when he was still a little boy. What he wanted from him was that he wanted him to go back to his hometown. When he go there, he got welcomed with some bad news. Hassan and his wife were killed because they had tried doing something to his wife and he tried defending her but it went all wrong and they both got …show more content…
Another thing was that Ahim didn't know that Hassan was actually his cousin because Baba had an affair with one of his servants and that person whom he had an affair with was Hassan's mother. That made Ahim surprised and he wanted to take him back and adopt him because Ahim and his wife couldn’t have kids. After going through a lot just to find him, Ahim actually had to smuggle his nephew into the states. When they both go there, his nephew didnt really know how to react becuase he didnt have nothing that made him happy. Ahim had an idea and tought him how to fly kites just like how him and his cousin did it as kids. This book is really good. I really enjoyed the ending because Ahim and his nephew finally had a moment and Ahims wife finally got what she wanted and that was a child. The book was wriiten very well, I liked how the author put flashbacks and put some twist in there like when the author revealed that Hassan was Ahims cousin. It really had me thinking how easy it was for both of them to get acceoted into their culture just by doing something that was fun. I would recommend this book to other people if they really like adventure, romance, action, and a good

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    As I read pages 77-78, even though I didn’t like it, I found out why Amir didn’t do anything to help Hassan. All his life, he wanted to make his father proud, and he knew with the blue kite he would accomplish that. This part of the book is similar to a window. I was looking into Amir’s hardest decision in life and why he did what he did. Through Amir’s eyes, Baba’s praise was more important than Hassan’s safety. It gave me a view of hardships I never (and hope to never) experience. Hassan was put into a situation just because his job is to serve and protect Amir. It also showed me the ending of an amazing friendship. Therefore, because of Amir’s cowardliness and selfishness, his relationship with Hassan designagrated.…

    The story opens in pre-Taliban Kabul, Afghanistan. The protagonist, Amir, is recalling events from his childhood. He lived a lavish life with his father, Baba, and their servant, Ali and his son Hassan. Hassan and Amir grew up together and were almost like brothers, however Ali and Hassan belonged to the religious minority group, the Shias, and Baba and Amir, Sunni Muslims, superior. The different religious sects made it difficult for the boys to be real friends, despite their many character similarities and personal connection to one another.

Though they were raised with different beliefs, they were brought up together, and spent their entire childhoods making memories with each other.…

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    Baba is an idealistic character. Throughout the book he is descried to be this morally driven person, who sees the world in black and white. Amir states that “my father molded the world around him to his liking.”(15) This would show how Baba was seen as driving force through the young Amir’s eyes. In more ways than one Baba affected the people around him. He was displayed to the soldier who donned the armor; however, he himself hid secrets. Despite knowing that Hassan was his son, he carried to his grave the truth of his birth. Not once did he tell Amir of his true relations with his son, nor did he try to attempt. In a way Baba is a hypocrite who preached that thievery is the worst of sins, but stole the opportunity for Hassan to live a better life. However with that in mind Amir did grow to atone for his sins, because he was his father’s son. In the end Amir took it upon himself to purge the sins his father started and he…

    Amir always wants to please his father, because he wants to impress Baba more than Hassan does. Amir goes to the lengths of getting Hassan and Ali to move out of his house, which in the end could have been the reason that Hassan and his wife were killed, because he may have ended up in America with Baba and Amir. Baba is a man who stood up for his beliefs and would risk his life for them. Baba did not conform to the rules of the Afghan world in those days, but he did…

    Hassan uses his letters to Amir, who is now in America, to tell him how Afghanistan has changed. The streets of Afghanistan are being terrorized, but he only thinks to worry about those around him. “The streets are full enough already of hungry orphans and every day I thank Allah that I am alive, not because I fear death, but because my wife has a husband and my son will not be an orphan.” He also dreams that Amir will come back to him, free of guilt. “ And I dream that someday you will return to Kabul to revisit the land of our childhood. If you do, you will find an old faithful friend waiting for you.” His journey just proves to us again and again how wonderful a person Hassan truly is and how possible, but rare, it is for true integrity to exist in those who have the patience and tolerance to let it be…

    It is Baba’s choice that set the story of Amir and Hasan into motion. His brief moment of infidelity and the fact he was never able to fully claim his illegitimate son led to a chronicle of events that defined Amir. However, it was not only this choice that came to affect the people around him. The way he raised Amir under the constant pressure of being someone he was not, ultimately led for his son to believe he needed to prove his worth. During the kite contest Amir confesses that he needs to “Show [Baba] once and for all that his son was worthy” (56), showcasing a boy who has the incessant need to prove his self-worth. Despite this Baba never truly accepted his son as he was, and even confessed that Amir is “A boy who won’t stand up for himself” (22). Throughout the majority of his life, Baba tried his best to shape Amir into the son he designed. Just like how he bends the world into his liking Baba sought to mold Amir to be just like him. In the end, however, it was revealed that he was merely a man with a “tortured soul” (301), who saw redemption in the marks he would leave the…

    Amir, is the central character and is shaped both in character and intellect by power. He is privileged and wealthy, but also steeped in jealousy and cowardice. He is selfish and guilty of abhorrent behaviors. The one positive strength Amir has is his friendship with Hassan. Considered best friends this is a friendship that is generally one-sided with Hassan showing the loyalty and trust. There is an ongoing conflict for this friendship because Amir shares paternal heritage with Hassan. Hassan was born into servitude and thus Baba, the boys’ father, cannot lay claim to Hassan’s heritage. The Afghan traditions and culture pose a conflict for Baba regarding Hassan. Hassan for his part is loyal, forgiving, and an all-around pleasant person to be with. The two boys are drawn to each other naturally. Hassan is the family servant and never wavers in his loyalty to the family even with the knowledge that he should be considered part of it. At the same time, Baba struggles with his own morals and the rigid Afghani traditions. He is proud and determined but also emotionally detached from Amir. Amir feels the detachment deeply and constantly strives to receive Baba’s affection.…

    Amir is preparing for this years’ kite running contest and his father is excited for him to enter into this big contest that is celebrated all over Afghanistan, it's a very big deal since it is apart of their culture. When Baba was Amir’s age, he won the contest by cutting down fourteen kites in one day so he has big expectations as usual. Amir and his partner Assef win the whole contest and Baba is extremely proud of him. He greets his son by giving him a hug and congratulating him. After this pleasant moment, we do not see much of Amir and Baba until they move to America. From here on out, Baba is now one of the most important characters in the book. He still posses his tough and hard edged charisma though as he defends a woman from being raped by a Russian soldier. But we do begin to see the soft and loving side of this older man. When they are in the U.S., Amir is much older and he is marrying a young afghan named Soraya. This changes the way Amir and Baba communicate completely. For example, Amir is about to meet his newly wedded wife’s parents with Baba and just before they knock on the door, they say, ”Thank you Baba. Are you all right? Do you feel up to this?” “Up to this? It's the happiest day of my life, Amir” (Hoesseini 166). Years ago Baba would never have spoken to his son like this but now, Amir is all he has left and he cherishes…
