The kite runner : Baba’s illness
As I read pages 13-14, I saw many similarities between Baba’s character and my uncle’s character. I notice that Bab don’t like to be told what to do and my uncle too doesn’t like to be told what to do .Baba snores and my uncle also snores like a truck.

When my uncle snores its so disturbing if you were doing something you wont like to continue due to how loud he snores.I wander how my aunt is able to sleep with him and they have kids together.

    In this paragraph I will show my personal connection to a theme of family-ties in the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. On a page it says that “He talked so much that we all quit listening to what he said” (Hurst). I connect to this because my brother too is annoying because sometimes he never stops talking. Yet he talks with such an exotic vocabulary whenever he never stops talking. On another page it says “But doodle couldn’t keep up with the plan”(Hurst). I connect to this as well because my youngest brother doesn’t always listen or focus, but sometimes he follows with such…

    Kemmy Nolah once said,” Be extremely careful not break someone’s heart or to cause someone great disappointment, and never put up with people that are reckless with yours. That is why you shouldn’t force yourself to have space in anyone’s life because if they know your worth, they’ll create one for you”. (Nolah) In the novel, The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, Amirs father” Baba” is greatly responsible for determining the personality of Amir. Born without a mother and raised by his father, Amir lives with a single role model in his life who repeatedly expects more from his disappointing son.

    19). This brings readers to another topic that breeds sympathy for Amir. The young Pashtun boy grew up in a big confusing world without the help of his biological mother. Amir grew up not having a mother and knowing little about her. In the evolutionary perspective, every child needs their mother to help them in emotional and physical development. Considering the fact that Amir grew up neglected by his father, Amir never received this crucial experience. Lastly, another factor that contributed to why readers would feel bad for Amir is because of the way the author portrayed the setting. Amir was a very emotional boy and was looked down upon by his father when he would cry. This forced him to go to a private place and shed his tears so he wouldn’t be seen. Amir never had a mother to be there for him. Readers sympathize with Amir because they can understand what an emotional toll being motherless must have taken on Amir, not only as a young boy, which continues to affect him as an…

    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.…
