The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini I feel is a book about redemption. Hassan and Amir are two boys who share the same father, but don’t know until they are adults. Amir is part of the ‘higher class’ in Kabul and is treated more or less like royalty, hassan is raised as a servant's son.

Showing how Sohrab is really thinking and feeling about what has happened to him is important to me because he essentially, to me is Hassan in a way, making Amir realized how Hassan felt when they were children. The worst part of this movie for me I think would have to be the ending, where was is my favourite part of the book, when Amir turns back and says to Sohrab, “For you, a thousand times over again.” Amir just looks over his shoulder and shouts the
