The Kite Runner

Always be kind to others and they will show kindness back. "The Kite Runner" expresses that vividly throughout the story when two kids growing up in a small village in Afghanistan encounter changes and challenges in life. The author details every sentence with emotions and imagination to the climax and goes beyond, ending with sorrow, happiness, a little confusion, and finally some imagination to help conclude what might happen at the end.

In " The Kite Runner", Amir, a young son of a wealthy and well respected man in the village befriends his servant, Hassan, a Hazaar who is loyal to his master and best friend to the very end. While competing in the annual kite tournament, Amir and Hassan encounter challenge that only one overcomes and one brushes it away to hit him later in life even harder than it did to begin with. Soon after Amir and Hassan lose their friendship and part ways when Amir and his father flee Afghanistan to America to live a better life. There, in America Amir faces his destiny and must relive everything he left behind.

The style of this read is a variety of different sentences and complex imagination. One who reads " The Kite Runner" will feel every emotion thrown out by the author and will have sympathy for what those who live their daily lives in Afghanistan. The theme expresses commitment to being a friend and to hold up to that status.

To conclude, "The Kite Runner" is an amazing book that shows what goes on in third - world countries and how things are delt with over there. I highly advise anyone to read this book to understand if the priorities in their lives are worth any good meaning to them.
