The Kite Runner#8

After staying hide for a while to stay safe Amir and Baba decided to move to the 'new world' as known as America. There life will have gone from extraordinary and fabulous to living in a apartment in Los Angelos. Everything for them has changed dramatically. They aren't the same rich and well known people the were back in Afghanistan. If I was Amir i would feel sad, because having to leave your house without any of your things would be really hard. He still thinks about Hassan and wonders were he is. I find this book confusing and hard to understand.

The Kite Runner #7

After the nasty trick Amir pulled on Hassan, Hassan and his father decided to leave they no longer felt welcome in Amir and Baba's household. Baba begged him to stay but there was nothing he could do to make them change there decision. Soon after they left a war broke out in Afghanistan and Amir and Baba were forced to leave and find safety. The took a oil truck to a safer place were there wasn't so much fighting. Amir still thinks about Hassan and wonders what would've happened if he had of stuck up for him. If i was Amir i would feel bad to because he didn't just lose his servant he lost one of his best friends to.

The Kite Runner#6

So far the story has been somewhat confusing. Amir feels so bad about what happened to Hassan but doesn't want to stand up for him. The only thing he can think of that will eliminate his problem is for Hassan to leave. When he brings up the thought to Baba he reacts rather badly. He has to take matters into his own hands. Baba ought Amir a watch for his birthday and very nice expensive watch, Amir had a plan. Amir decided to hide the watch and some Afghan bills under Hassans bed making it look like he stole his birthday gifts. I'm liking the book more and more but I still am finding it a little hard to follow.

The Kite Runner #5

So far the book is alright, its almost Amir's birthday and BaBa is throwing a huge party since he is proud of him for doing so well in the kite running competition. Amir really doesn't want a party because he feels guilty about what happened to Hassan and feels like he doesn't deserve a party. Seeing as it is not up to him BaBa has it anyways he gets lots and lots of gifts and money. The only gift he really likes is the one his BaBa's friend gave him it was a tan leather notebook where he could write his stories. Amir will never find use for any of the other gifts or money. If I was Amir I would probably feel bad for not sticking up for Hassan.

The Kite Runner #4

The Kite Runner is getting good Amir and Hassan are in a Kite Running competition. Amir is concentrated really hard on winning because he wants to feel loved by Baba because even thought Baba never said it Amir thinks that Baba still blames Amir for his wifes death. Amir finally wins by being the last kite flying. Hassan chases after the last kite that was caught. When he finally catches it and is going to head back three kids start bullying him and threatens him unless he gives them the kite. Amir was to scared to say anything or do anything so he just watched. If i was Amir i would feel bad because I didn't help my friend but at the same time I understand becuase in certain situations it can very difficult.

The Kite Runner#3

So far this book has been fairly deep and talks about alot of issues that are highly important to the story. Amir and Hassan just had there first kite running competition. Hassan has a natural instinct to no where the kite is going to fall he is one of the best. As soon as the kite starts to fly away everyone runs all over trying to find the kite but Hassan knows exactly where its going to land. I think Amir is a little bit jealous of Hassans ability to do this. I think that he wishes he could do this to impress Baba.

The Kite Runner#2

This book is getting more interesting. When Amir was reading to Hassan by there blueberry tree three bullies came up and started bothering them. They were teasing Hassan because he is a hazara which aren't liked very much among the Afghanistan's people. The bullies threatened Hassan and Amir. If i was Hassan I wouldn't feel so good because Amir doesnt stick up for him very much and doesn't treat him like a real friend and only hangs out with him when his other friends can't. I'm excited to see whats going to happen with Amir and Hassan's friendship.
