QUESTIONS ABOUT THE KITE RUNNER

#1 the characters that change the story is Amir. They change for the better because he goes through a lot with and at the end he realizes that he made many mistakes that he knew he should’ve gone back and fix it but it was too late he went through a lot of rough times but he knew why he was going through this.

#2 My favorite character was Hassan. Why? Because he had a lot of dignity and he was a great friend with Amir knowing what he “didn’t do” was wrong and I really think that we need friends like Hassan these days. The character that I didn’t like in this story was Amir because he was a horrible friend and he didn’t learn the 1st time and the 2nd his “best friend” Hassan left from his house because Hassan knew that Amir was the one who put the stolen money and jewelry under the bed.

7)the theme of the novel was that friendship is a really big deal here in this book "The Kite Runner" because it just talks about how hasssan was friends with amir an dnever turned his back on him but in the story it also talks about how a so called friend amir turned his back around hassan and betraied him in many ways that i probably wouldn't even talk to a person like that. the message to the readers that the author is trying to make them understand is that you think you know someone and think that their your best friends you may think that but u never know what can happen!

5)My favorite part of the scene in the book is when amir finds out that hassan is his step brother that must've been really shocking!at that moment that i read that i was just imagining what he was thinking like "oh my god" i can't believe my best friend is related to me he thought that hassan was just a servant to amir. but he was wrong so i know he felt so terrible that he really must've regret it i kow i would've!

words alive discussion

In the words alive discussion we discussed about the book "THE KITE RUNNER". we discussed mostly about what the characters were feeling and whta they were really about like why amir was so jealous of hassan? and why he wasn't a good friend but in the middle of the book we found out that Amir wasn't the only child. all the students and the teacher's thought that he really must've felt a jealously towards hassan.In the discussion we also had a lot of opinions abotu around what time this took place and were exactly it was taken place at.I liked reading the book but the discussion wasn't all that great like other ones we've had but it was ok. the food tey brought wasn't that great either but can't complain.i haven't seen the movie but im really interested in watching it.
