The Kite Runner is the first English novel that I read . Hassan and Amir are the main characters in this novel .and thes storry to preserve the cultural heritage of Afghanistan spans Amir's life in Kabul and America.

Jun's assignment 10

The kite Runner is a story about Amir ‘s life. It discovered how Amir’s lifetime was made up by the events he had experienced which tied with Hassan and Baba another two major characters in the story and how his personal character was. Amir’s betrayal to Hassan was a significant event among the story. It not only broke the relationship between Amir with Hassan, but also turned Amir living in his guilty and Hassan’s shadow all his life. Amir facing death took action to rescue Hassan’s son from Assef’s hand and adopted him was another main event in the story. It took Amir to become a real man. In the story, Hassan was Amir’s servant. Amir was Hassan’s half-brother. Baba was the father of Amir and Hassan. The relationship between them was unknown at the beginning for Amir. It also a factor made Amir’s life unusually.
I love this book at the part of deeply describing of Amir’s psychological activities about the things he was experiencing and special describing was given on the surrounding environment. The part in the book I don’t like it is the story itself. There were so many terrible things happened in the story. It shows us only sin of human. Anyway, it is value to be read. It brings me a lot of sense of human’s life issues related with family, relationship and war, culture and history etc. I would like to recommend this book to another reader.
The Kite Runner is a life story about a boy Amir and the people around him, he was grow up with his friend Hassan grow up together in Afghanistan, they most like brothers. They always together. Baba Amir's father is a rich businessman. Hassan's father is a servant to Baba.
Amir has possion in writing, but wasn't strong enough which Baba dislike about. Hassan a strong boy and willing to protect Amir when he in trouble, but he is disable. They both love running kite. However, everything have chang because the kite tour.

Final Blog for Abdullah

Hassan's father is a servant to Amir's father, and Hassan is sh'ia muslim. both boys didn't have mother. they spend their childhood on the streets of Kabul together,

Hassan Always protects Amir and help him and one time Hassan needed Amir's help and the help didn't come. The soviet invasion of Afghanistan sends Amir's family away to the United States of America, but Amir returns there as an adult during the Taliban rule to atone for his sins to Hassan.

The Denver post says The Kite Runner "ranks among the best written and provocative stories of the years so far" and I definitely recommend this novel to friends to read it because the story of the Kite runner shows that live could change al the way around at any time for any reasons.

Stella's assignment 10

Kite Runner, the whole story happened in Kabul, Amir is a little host who likes writing story, Hassan is a boy as servant. They played together since very young. Since Baba gived Hassan more admiration and hortation than Amir, Amir began to feel jealous of Hassan. In one kite competition, Amir and Hassan's kite beat all the other kites to win the competition. As Hassan said to Amir, "for you, a thousand times over", he went to pick up the kite. But he met with Assef, the bully guy. Because he wanted to protect the kite, he did not want to broke up the thing he promised to Amir, he suffered the affront frome Assef. Amir was also there, but he chose to escape, he give up to protect little Hassan, who see him as friend, and even brother. By the reason of regretion, Amir could not face Hassan, and could not face himself. Finally, he drove away Hassan by using some craft. Till December of 1972, due to Russia invaded Afghanistan, and Baba made a speech of revile Russia, Baba forced to take Amir to America. Nine years later, Amir became a writer by encouragement from Baba, and he married with one person he loved very much. But he still could not forget the incubus in childhood. One call from Rahim Khan made Amir go back to Pakistan. Then he know that Hassan and him have the same father, and Hassan was killed as he wanted to protect the house belong to Amir's family and Hassan's son was in orphanage. Since then, Amir began to save his soul.....
The whole story is powerful, the description of emotion is minute and wonderful. I strongly recommend people to read this book.

Final blog from wei

Kate runner started with Amir received a phone call and recalled his old memories. He was about to make a huge decision which he had not even think about before. Amir grew in Afghanistan in a rich family with a respectful father. Hasson shared the same roof with them but they were not friends but master and servant for Amir-Hasson treated Amir with nothing but respect whereas Amire was a selfish guy. He tried hard to attract his father- Baba's attention but it would not work out- he was not the type his father liked.Hasson always protect him from anything could hurt him.In contrast, whenever Amir did something bad, he would say to Baba, it was Hasson who did that. What's worse, after Hasson was offended sexually, he just standing there and watched it without saying a single word.He even thought Hasson was dirty and he drove them away bu telling a lie to Baba. Years later, Amir went to America with his father due to the war.Things were changed since then. He were not rich and powerful. Scenes back to the phone call.Amir decided go back to his mother land. On his way back, he found tons of secrets about himself, his father and ,of course ,Hasson.He was an andult, he decided to take the responsibilities.He has done somethings evil.It was time for him to pay back.
I highly recommended this book. It is really awesome.You will never know what will happen next.You just can not give it up.

Hitomi assignment#10

This story tells the friendship and betrayal of a wealthy Afghan boy, Amir and his servant, Hassan. They were born in Afghanistan and grew up together. They read books on the pomegranate tree and played with a kite…they were always together. However, Amir envied Hassan actually because his father Baba took care of Hassan better than Amir. One day, a certain incident ruined their life suddenly. By this incident, Hassan and his father Ali left Amir’s house. It seemed that they never saw each other. But one call from Baba’s friend, Rahim Khan brought Amir back to his old memory in his childfood. He decided to go back to Afghanistan to make up for his “guilt.”

This novel has many kinds of elements such as friendship, betrayal, love, bond, faith and so on. The complicated relationship of Amir and Hassan caused many things. So I couldn’t guess what would happen for the next scene. I felt like I was drawn into their world. I think it’s because the author express the character’s feeling by subtle descriptions like their actions or countenance. We cannot say that the ending was happy. But I was glad that Amir made up for his guilty finally.

Abdulaziz

This story took place in Afghanistan. It talked about amir's childhood. Amir's father was a very rich man in kabul. His mother died in childbirth. Hassan was a servant in amir's house.

I really like how the writer end this story. He showed how Amir were with Hassan ,and how Amir became after he moved th america. Also, all the money that his father had gone. Money nothing beside a relationship. I would recommended this story book for everyone especially for the rich people.

Assignment# 10

The Kite Runner is story of an Afghan kid named Amir. His relationship with Hassan, Baba and the others. We can see the tragedy that happened with war in Afghanistan and how our life could change with a single act. Khaled Hosseini shows us a strong relationship, real meaning of brotherhood, a family tragedy and transition in Amir’s life. While Hassan gives loyalty a complete different meaning, Baba reminds us, what can a father sacrifice or do for his son. Innocence and cruelty, growing up with struggles and regrets mixed in a fluent way in The Kite Runner.

You can feel the pain and struggles in your heart while you are reading. With Khaled Hosseini's descriptions, you feel like, you are in the story. Struggles of characters would remind our own’s. The Kite Runner is 371 page of drama that takes you in. If you do not like sadness and hard times, my recommendation is do not even attempt to open the cover. But, if you would like to read a good piece of literature, go and have one now. The Kite Runner is one of a kind about what it is going to be tells you.

Kiho

The Kite Runner, this book is kind of chronicle about Amir whose love, guilty, and redemption. And also telling about the problems about Afghanistan where had been suffer from other country and racial problem in Afghanistan. The main story set in Kabul where Amir and Hassan’s childhood.

After Amir is turn to adult, he get a phone call from father’s friend. And he gets information about Hassan who was his half bother and his hometown. Amir was socked by all of happening and he decide to go Afghanistan for release Hassan‘s son.
In this noble, I can learn a lot about Afghanistan because I thought that Afghanistan mean for me was just war and Taliban. And I did not feel they have same love as I get from my hometown and friend. I love this book. I think that the book gave me very good example of well done story line and humanity.

Dana's Assignment 10

The Kite Runner is the story of Amir, a Muslim, who struggles to find his place in the world because of the aftereffects from a series of traumatic childhood events. An adult Amir opens the novel in the present day United States with a vague reference to one of these events, and then the novel flashes back to Amir's childhood in Afghanistan. In addition to typical childhood experiences, Amir struggles with building a closer relationship with his father, Baba; with determining the exact nature of his relationship with Hassan, and eventually with finding a way to atone for pre-adolescent decisions that have lasting repercussions. Along the way, readers are able to experience growing up in Afghanistan in a single parent home, a situation that bears remarkable similarities to many contemporary families in the world.
Ultimately, The Kite Runner is a novel about relationships. Specifically the relationships between Amir and Hassan, Baba, Rahim Khan, Soraya, and Sohrab, and how the complex relationships in our lives overlap and connect to make us the people we are. Follow the steps with Amir, changed from a craven boy to a brave man, from a persnickety person to a generous person. We see the shadow of ourselves. I recommend this book to you, because this is a book you will never forget.

Jiahui's assignment 10

A rich young master called Amir and his faithful servant called Hassan grew up fellowlike since they were babies. They generally played and read story books together. However, after a kite competition, an evil thing happened to Hassan. What's worse, due to Amir's timidity, their relationship deteriorated. Several years later, Amir with his father escaped to America from chaos caused by war in his hometown. He thought he could forget the past, but he wasn't able to do that because of his memory, especially his abandon to Hassan. In order to make expiation for his guilt, Amir came back to his motherland after two decades and he hoped he could do something for Hassan. But what he found in this travel was a huge lie. Nightmare came out again, but this time, Amir chose to be brave. Finally, he and Hassan rebuilt the relationship according a unexcepted way.
This novel witten by Hosseini called "the Kite Runner". Characters' emotion in the novel was described exquisitely and deeply. Besides, the enviroment description was in a quite special style. You can feel you're personally on the scene and see the world through Amir's eyes. What's more, the conception of this novel was ingenious. You may find before each climax appeared, the author had already used metaphor to indicate that. Thus, I recommend this novel, not only the description of emotion and enviroment, but also the unique conception.

Terry's Assignment 10

Amir was a rich businessman’s son in Afghanistan. He and his servant, Hassan, were good friends when they were young, even like brothers. After a kite match, Amir made Hassan out because of Amir's recreancy. Amir always felt sorry to Hassan since the calamity happened and he followed his father to America after that. When Amir grew up, he came back to his hometown in Afghanistan because he couldn’t forgive himself about that tragedy happening in his childhood. And he wanted to try his best to atone to Hassan, however, he found a big lie during the trip that Hassan was his father’s bastard, his elder brother. Despite of this, Amir did the best to bring-up Hassan’s son, Sohrab, to complete his atonement.
The story is labyrinthian but significant. The author depicted the experience of a hero’s growing, his self-fish, his recreancy and his adamancy. The kite carried author’s dream and evil. It’s worthy to read and the story tells the readers a lot for how to be a real man. What should you do when facing the problems like the author’s, to be brave to show your regret or to let them alone with time going by? The answer is that you should be brave to envisage your error, not only regret or self-accusation, but to face it bravely as the author.

Anna's Assignment# 10

Book Review,
Kite runner book is the story of two boys with the name of Amir and Hassan who was both missed their mother when they were child. Amir’s father was rich man in Afghanistan and Hassan’s dad was Amir’s father servant and they lived together. Amir and Hassan grow up together they were playing with the kite together but in some cases Hassan honest and loyally behavior grabbing Amir’s father attention which makes Amir more jealousy about him. Until Amir started to make false accusation to Hassan. Times passed so by quickly and Hassan with his dad move Amir’s house and Amir and his dad went to America from escape of the war. After a while Amir came up with the biggest lie of his life and he decided to make up his pervious faults.
I think this story was a really deep story which showed us the transition of childish behavior to the mature behavior and also how the war suffer the people and take them apart of their habitat. I like the way in which khaled hosseini finished this book. After reading more than half of this book I thought so this is going to happen. In spite of dark and sad sense of this story, it was ended by nice event which makes me happy. I really recommend this book to the people and especially to the international students. In additions of having really understandable writing it represent a deep idea.

Amy's review


Amir, a boy in a rich family and Hassan who is Amir's friends and servant, took part in a kite race in the year when they were twelve. They enjoy the life before the race. However, everything has changed after the day which makes Hassan left Amir and they failed to met each other again in their whole life. Time flies, Amir moved to America and lived a peaceful life for years but he could never forgave himself about what he did to Hassan and lived with guilty all the time until a phone call from Pakistan.  Truth, responsibility and atone. What happened in that day?  What will be Amir's choice? What should Amir do to over the bad cycle? Let's watch and see.

This book is so nice that I cannot help to read it several times. I enjoy it because the love which described in this book is really touching. The feeling is so real that as if I was in the writer's shoes and spent the same days with Amir and Hassan. It's not only talk about kite runner but also a love runner. The  trying Amir did show us a tough process from a coward boy to a brave man which moves me a lot. I think this book told us that everyone no matter who, has a heart looking forward love and try his or her best to get it, will be happy in the end. We all should be a love runner. 

Liz's review

Twelve-year-old childe Amir and his servant Hassan were very good friends. However, in a traditional event of running kites race, a very dire thing happened to Hassan. Amir felt extremely self-condemned and painful about himself, so he drove Hassan away from his home by an artifice. Later he escape from hometown to America with his father because the war. But during the life abroad, Amir could forgive himself for betraying Hassan all the time. He got a chance to atone his mistake after twenty years and he came back to his mother land, hoping to try his best to give a hand to his best friend. However, he turned out to find a shocking lie of his life. The nightmare was replayed. What will Amir chose to do?
The Kite Runner is a beautiful story with brutal realism. Hosseini showed us the nature and atonement of personality by his exquisite brushwork. This booking will shake your heart whiling reading. It is a story about life in transmigration, overlapping the beginning and the end of the story: the broad sky, the flying kite and the kids running the kites, cheering. The story honors the past days of the most precious time. This is the sparkling point of the book. The author also shaped an individual who grew up in struggle. Amir is a model of loneliness and brave heart. He was low, but he was a hero by being strong in heart and over come all the tough stuffs with faith. Although the story was brutal, this is a book that you can’t ignore.

Monday, April 20, 2009

Cut off for Assignment 9

Abdullah

My topic is about Baba's life in Afghanistan and his life in America. I chose these two sides because Baba had money, power, and respect from people around him but all of sedan his life has changed. He even start to depend on his son Amir sometimes.

American Amir VS Afghanistan Amir from wei

American Amir VS Afghanistan Amir. Since they moved to the US, life was totally changed.Baba and Amire had a difficult time adopting new customs and life styles. Both the most important, they were not rich anymore. Money can change a person dramatically, money can change a person's mind.Amir was also changed by their finical situation.

Abdulaziz

My topic is Amir’s life in the Afghanistan and in America . Things have changed since he moved to America. In the other side he still has something that hadn’t changed.

clover's topic

My topic is Amir vs Haswsan. I am interested in their personality and relationship towards two completely different people. Hassan always hold his friend unjudged, accepted, trusted, however, Amir never considered Hassan as his friends. Though comparing and constructing, their personality and relationship will be more clear.

LI

My topic is "BaBa's lifetime"
From Gabul to USA, BaBa life change a lot, from a rich and be respected man become a nomore old man even when he sick he did not have money to saw the doctor.Big downs and ups of his life.

Jiahui's assignment 9

My topic is Amir and Soraya(his wife). They had some similar parts, like each of them had a bad past. However, they had a lot of differences, such as their attitudes to bad things, their relationships with their families, their temperaments.

Jun’s comparison/contrast essay

Topic: Versus the choices made by the young Amir and the adult Amir
"The kite runner" is a detailed description of the course of Amir’s life from childhood to adult. His life and his emotions changing are comprised by his personal character and relationship he chooses between him, Baba, and Hassan. What Amir became and what Amir’s course of life was were shaped by the choices he made.

Terry's Assignment 9

My topic is Baba’s life in Afghanistan and in US.
There are many differences about his life in the two different places. When he was in Afghanistan, he had some luxurious house facilities and rich enough to do some charitable works, such as to build an orphanage. Make a lot money once on business and get others' respect. However, he nearly lost everything when he came to US. A luxurious house became a poor room. A hard job only could satisfy their basic life, even his neighbour always shout to him. On the other aspect, the similarities are smoking and loving Amir no matter where he was. Baba smoked a lot wherever he was and it resulted to his cancer directly. He loved Amir very much, such as help him to celebrate his birthday, spending a lot on his education and saving money for his wedding.

Assignment 9 form Xinyue

My topic is about today’s Amir and yesterday’s Amir. The book tells us how Amir grows up and his experience in his life. It is clearly to find how they changed and what is still same. How he treat people around him, his mind, and his actions.

Kiho

For my topic is about the relationship between detestation and love. And thesis is Amir’s feeling about the relationship with Baba, and his feeling about the relationship between Hassan and Baba built Amir’s characters which were timidity, selfish, regrettable person.

Anna's Assignment #9

Topic: Young amir and old Amir
Thesis Statement: The transition process from being a jules and ambition boy to brave and modest young man was an obvious contras that we read about in " kite runner" book. Although some ambitious and selfish Amir's behaviors were unacceptable, the changes and evolution in his manner were the nice event in this story.

Hitomi's topic

My topic is the difference between Hassan and Amir.

They have many differences such as status, personality and attitude toward each other. Hassan is innocent and does anything for Amir. Amir is totally different from Hassan. It is not too much to say that this difference of their personalities caused the incident.
I would like to compare them in process of time. And also, I would like to write about their relationship with other people like Baba, Ali and Rahim Khan.

Stella's assignment 9

My topic is the difference and similarities between Amir and Hassan.
Actually,kite runner, the whole story in between Amir and Hassan, and the difference and similarities between Amir and Hassan make the plot twists and turns. Thoses things lead to Baba's disparate attitude, their friendship, their different experience and so on.

Amy's topic and thesis statement

My topic is the different and similarities between Amir and Hassan.
Thesis statement:
The different characteristics between Amir and Hassan are obviously because the religion and social status. However, they share some similarities at the same time. They are brothers and the same blood in thier body decide that they connected with eachother tightly in thier whole life.

Liz's Topic and Statement

My topic is about the differences between adult Amir and his childhood, because the story line of Kite runner is the this changes. After the experience of life during the life after Hassan's leaving, Amir turned out to be a brave man with a sense of responsibility. And in America, he could built a closer and more harmous relationship with Baba. However, he never forgot Hassan. Hassan was still a great pain in Amir's heart. This is exactly where this story attracts me. Amir's mistake cannot be forgiven by himself, but his couragement to save Sohrab proves that he is a real man.

Assignment#9

My Topic : AMIR'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ( Relationship between Amir and Rahim Khan And Amir an Baba)

When Amir had been growing up. He had two father figures. Rahim Khan shows more tolerance to Amir and he accepted Amir as who he is. On the other hand, Baba is more restrict to Amir and he wants to make Amir like himself.They both effected on him.

Dana‘s comparative/contrast essay

My topic is young Amir vs old Amir

There are similarities and differences between adult amir and child amir. We can see similarities both ways as physical and mental. Amir has changed a lot since his childhood, but at the meantime, he still doesn't stand for anyone and doesn't want to take risks. Some of his behaviour is remains from his childhood.

Dana's Assignment 8

When Amir said 'Let's just say we both got what we deserved.' He means that himself and Assef both had been punished by what they did in the past. In my point of view, every little thing we did in our life no matter is bad or good, all have feedback to ourselves. Amir didn't help Hassan when he been beat up by Assef in the past, and he had treated Hassan as a slave. It was because Amir that Hassan left the house and died. If Amir didn't do anything stupid then Hassan would have still be alive now. Assef lost his left eye because the fight with Amir is what he deserved. Amir had been beat up by Assef and had to injured badly was what he deserved. They all had paid back what they did when they were children.

Cut off for Responses to Assignment 8

Li Assignment 8

i agree with Aimr said:"Let's just say we both got what we deserved." i think both of Amir and Assef get their deserved, For Amir because 25 years ago,he not stoped Assef to raped Hassan and from that time both of Amir and Hassan life were changed, if Amir stoped Assef, these things maybe will not happened,so Amir felt guilty,he used bad injured to atone. For Assef, because in his life he did a lot bad things for another people, in the end he have to pay for what he did,in buddha has said "no matter what you did, you will get returned same with what you did", so Assef lost his left eye. so i think both of them get their deserved.

assignment 8 from wei

I have to say Amire was right.He admitted everything he has done to Hasson was very bad. They all got what they deserved.Amire still felt guilty about Hasson did to him.Hasson stepped forward when they were kids. Hasson and Ali were forced to leave Baba because Amire told Baba a lie. Hasson even never said anything bad about Baba and Amir. Years later, Hasson gave up his life with his wife in the village and came back to take care of Baba's house and eventually got killed.I even think it was partly Amir's fault. Amire felt more guilty about Hasson after he was told Hasson was his brother. What he have done to his own brother! Hasson was such a giver but he got nothing but lost his live.

Kiho

It was really amazing story both Amir and Sohrab. Before I respons what Amir said, I want to say that I am so proud of Amir and Sohrab and their brave, too. I think it was unfair that Amir got such a terrible scar that Hassan had. I did not understand why he had to deserve this happening. Because he did not fight with Assef, or he did not care about Hassan, does he have to get a scar? If Amir wanted to believe that all terrible things are cause by his mistake in childhood, I could agree with what Amir deserved thing, I will. However, Assef was definitely deserved that happen which was lost his eye. It supposes to be happened to him. One thing very funny thing was Sohrab did to him. I like it.

# 8

Amir, all the time, regret and fell sorry about what happened between him and Hassan in the previous time. When Amir was beaten by Assef, Amir did not fight back because he thought that he deserves that. Amir looks at the situation from more general view and many things from the past were involved. For example, Amir thought that the same person (Assef) who beat Hassan just beat him too, this is one point. The second point is that what happened to Assef in the jail and loosing his vision were a punishment to him. In short, Amir was beating by the same person who beat Hassan as well as what had happened to Assef was what Ameer meant when he said “Let’s just say we both got what we deserved” Yes, I agree that both got what they deserved.

Hitomi assignment#8

I agree that Amir and Assef got what they deserved. Amir had felt guilty since he had the incident. He couldn't forget the scene that Hassan's blood dropped from the seat of his pants. Therefore, when he had a fight with Assef and his body was broken, he said that he felt healed. He even said that he had been looking forward to it. He felt like he made amends for Hassan by fighting for his son. For Assef, he despised Hazara when he was a child, and did bad things to them actually. Even though he grew up, he killed many people. Finally, he lost his left eye by Hassan's son. Amir also had his upper lip cut like Hassan's harelip. Even though I don't believe in God, it's like God gave panishment to them for what they did in thier childfood. Amir felt like what he did was as bad as what Assef did. Therefore, he felt like they got what they deserved when both he and Assef got seriously injured.

Abdullah's assignment


I agree that Talib and Amir got what they deserved because Amir got a injured badly that could have cost him his life, that would be a little pay back to Hassan who did alot for this kid and I would say he deserve it however, for Assef who did so many bad things he lost his eye which is something that he defiantly deserve.

Assignment#8 Ovunc

Amir wants to tell with this response to us. He knows that, he is responsible for the day that Assef raped Hassan. Amir could stand up for Hassan and fought. But, that day, he was so scared to fight with him. So he cause that awful situation back in the day. He thinks that, he deserved all these. Because of what happened. Also he thinks that should had happened in that day. Assef deserved to be one eyed. Because of all of his bad actions and misbehaviour. He caused a lot of pain. Sohrab did what his father was going to do back in the day. I think both of them deserved it. Esspecially Assef. This is Amir's redemption. If he could be brave enough in the past. Things could be different. But, this fight has healed him. Assef deserved it too. He deserves even worst

Jun's assignment8

Assef lost his left eye and Amir got a badly beating. It was just like Amir’s said they got what they deserved. Many years ago, Hassan held a slingshot pointing to Assef when Assef going to hurt Amir. At that time, Hassan said: “If you make a move, they’ll have to change your nickname form Assef ‘the Ear Eater’ to ‘one eyed Assef’ because I have this rock pointed at your left eye (p42).” What happened in that house was just similar situation happened many years ago. But this time, it was Soharb made it instead of Hassan. Assef finally got what he deserved. For Amir, the beating he had wanted for from Hassan. He had been feeling guilty for not standing out when Hasson was harmed by Assef. He tried to provoke Hassan to fight with him by pelting Hassan with pomegranates that day on the hill. But Hassan did not. Now, for saving Soharb, he got a badly beating from Assef. It was deadly fighting, but he felt at peace, he felt healed (p289).

Terry's Assignment 8

I can’t agree more.
Amir was hurt seriously because of Hassan’s son. Amir always remembered that he did nothing for Hassan in childhood when Hassan was bullied. Amir thought he owed Hassan something. And this time, he helped Hassan’s son, maybe it’s another way for him to feel better. For Assef, he did something bad for others. And these brought others a lot of trouble. In the book, Assef lost his eye. It’s the reflection of what he did. He got what he should get.

Stella's assignment 8

I agree that both Talib and Amir got they deserved.
As for Talib,they stoning adulterers, raping children, flogging women for wearing high heels, assacring Hazzaras and so on. Assef lost his left eye, he deserve it.
As for Amir, he abandoned Hassan when he was in danger although Hassan try his best to protect him from hurting by Assef. So finally he had pay for it, he went to find Hassan's son, he has suffered some very significant injuries, he had a punctured lung and almost died. But in some aspect, i think all this to Amir is a disengagement, as Rahim Khan said later, his suffering will come to an end with his journey to Afghanistan.

Anna assignment #8

I am really agree with amir responses that he said: “We both got what we deserved.” In my opinion in this word every single thing we are doing in our life whether bad or good have special feedback (echo) to ourselves someday. In this case is the same thing. When Assef and Hassan was young really Assef treated Hassan as slave, he bother him a lot with telling him you are Hazara and looking him very down. Also he had fight with Hassan when they were young and know Amir whom didn’t help Hassan on that fight he is fighting Assef really hard for getting Hassan son’s. Which cause losing Assef eye that he deserved it. Amir knew Hassan did a lot for him and maybe this can be a smallest return to Hassan’s kindness. In the other hand for Amir was really terrible situation that he has to fight Assef, he injured badly, he risked a lot, he risked whole of his life to get Sohrab and also he had regret if he would keep Ali and Hassan at that home then they would stay together and maybe they had better life together and Hassan would not killed. Missing Hassan and all risked that he did was what he deserved.


Assignment 8 form Xinyue

I agree that Amir and Assef both got what they deserved. To Amir if he treated Hassan much better how can it happen like today. Does he have to come back the very dangerous place? Of course not, they must have happy life together in America. Everything will be changed. Actually Amir didn’t treat Hassan well and he didn’t see him as a friend, however he knows he is wrong. So when he came back Kabul he realized that he should have to face everything in there, and it is a way to be good again. Although he was badly hurt, he didn’t regret. Because he knew he should be deserved. To Assef he treated Hassan rough very mean to him, although there is nothing wrong with Hassan. He did many bad things to not only Hassan but also Soraya. So when Amir came he wanted to finish their old bit of business as if Assef waiting for Amir for a long time. He asked guards not come in no matter what they heard, because he know will be hurt and he should be hurt. So when Soraya helped Amir, and they run away he didn’t let guards to catch them. Because he knew he should be deserved.

Amy's assignment#8

I agree with Amir's opinion that Assef and him both got what they deserved. For Hassan's son, Amir got badly injured in the house. However, he feel better after it because he thinks he has atoned the crime what he did to Hassan by saving his son. The hurt Amir got is a sort of pay back to Hassan.
To Assef, he did a lot of bad things. He killed many people and bullied Hassan's son. His eye is the pay for the sordid things he did before to Hassan.
Amir thinks this is the end of the bad cycle, he could feel less guilty to Hassan and have a more peaceful life in the rest of his life.

Jiahui's assignment 8

Amir said "we both got what we deserved" means He and Assef both achieved what they wanted for so long. For Amir, it means atoning for his crime through being beaten by Assef; For Assef, it means he revenged for something happened in his childhood, such as Hassan used a slingshot to threaten him. Besides, Amir talked to Farid, a man knew little about him, he had no time to explain such a long story in that crisis. That's why Amir only said the brief sentence as response.
I don't agree they both got what they deserved. Maybe Amir exactly got what he wanted, but it's not the same for Assef. He's a brutal person and had an unlimited desire. Thus, he couldn't give them free so easily and would asked for more, I guess. That's the reason why I disagree with the opinion.

Assignment #8 Liz

Amir meant that he had to pay back to Hassan for his mistake. He owed the protection that Hassan ever gave him and he saved Sohrab, getting injured by Assef to pay back. And Assef did very bad things to both Hassan and Sohrab, Amir thought losing his left eye was what he deserved. I dont't agree with Amir because what Amir did was not enough. If he hadn't done the mistake twenty six years ago, Hassan and Ali would have stay with they and they wouldn't have died. Hassan died because he wanted to protect the house, so what Amir owed to Hassan couldn't be paid back just by saving Sohrab. What he owed is life. Amir should give Sohrab a whole new life, which Hassan deserved.

Assignment 8: Chapters 22-23

On page 298, Farid asks Amir, "What happened in that house? What happened between you and the Talib?" Amir's response is, "Let's just say we both got what we deserved."

What do you think he means by this response? Do you agree that he and Assef both got what they deserved? Why or why not?

Li

in my opinion, no matter who, with age grow up the thought constantly changing, but the deep of people mind will not change,people will still keep it from born to die, this is like essentiality. god created people and he give people a different character we have to keep it and we can not change it.
like Amir, when he grow up always think about Hassan, when Rahim Khan call him go back Kabul he was try looking for an excuse to refuse him,like he has wife can not leave her or something else. because he is afraid to face his past, this is his inbeing same with when he was young try to avoid his responsibility. finally he go back to kabul. why? as i say with age grow up the thought constantly changing, he grow up, he became maturate and responsible.He wanted to be held responsible. but in the end he still can not face Hassan's son and do not want to bring him take care him. why? because his inbeing! he is afraid to face his mistake.

difference or same behavior of young and old Amir

I think there are big different between child Amir and thirty eight years old Amir. First of all, Amir accepted Hassan to be a real brother. Before having a conversation with Rahim Khan, Amir was actually confused relationship with Hassan whether friend or brother; however, finally, Amir turned to make in mind right way. And also, Amir left money for other people was differences between young and old. However, he stood had a behavior like in childhood. When he heard that Hassan’s was left in somewhere behind Rahim Khan and his parents, Amir did not want to go back to bring poor Hassan’s son.
To become an adult a lot of things would change in your life but not all of it. Amir has changed because he had to leave in America as a normal person not as he knows himself. He becomes responsible about himself and his father. He had to take care of his father when he was sick. Another thing that he realized is that he his same personality as his father dose. the similar thing is that he still trying to walk away from things that he have to do it as when Rahim Khan asked him to go get Hassan’s son. He refused because he didn’t want to have any problem since he has own life and his wife witting form him back in America.

Jiahui's assignment 7

In some aspects, the adult character of Amir is similar to the child one. He's still a man "can't stand up to anything" and his first reaction is escape when faces cruel facts. For example, after Rahim Khan asked him to go to Kabul and bring Sohrab back, Amir obviously didn't want to go. That's because he wouldn't like to shoulder the responsibility which he should take. He's a coward so he couldn't stand up to it. Another example is, when he knew Hassan actually was his brother, he shouted, reviled and "stormed out of the apartment". The chain of his reactions demonstrates that in his subconsciousness, he avoided accepting the truth, especially a cruel one.
Everyone will change because they're growing up all the time, however. Amir is not an exception. When he was a child, he just felt a little guilty to Hassan, but adult Amir realized Hassan's unfortunate is because of him and also his father. Thus, his feeling is not just guiltiness but also atonement. Here are two examples from his thought. One is that "Rahim Khan had summoned me here to atone not just for my sins but for Baba's too". The another one is "How could I pack up and go back home when my actions may have cost Hassan a chance at those very same things?" That may be the biggest difference between the child and adult Amir.

Terry's Assignment7

Similar Aspects: No matter Amir was a child or an adult, he always felt self-condemned and sorry about making Hassan and Ali out. And the relationship between Hassan and Amir is closely. When they were children, we played together. When they met each other some years later, we talked a lot.
Different Aspects: In childhood, he just treated Hassan as a servant, even always joked Hassan for fun. When Amir was an adult, he admitted Hassan as a brother. During the talking with others, Amir said Hassan was his brother.When Amir was a child, he always thought about himself and not cared others’ feeling, but now, he started to help others. When Amir met Hassan again, Amir cared his family.

Hitomi assignment#7

As a similar character of Amir, he is still devious and coward. He has looked for the way he can make atonement for his guilt in his childfood. And when Rahim Khan asked Amir to go to Kabul to find Hassan's son, he found it. But he rejected Rahim's offer with some pretexts, like "I have a wife in America, a home, a career, and a family." He knew what he had to do then but he hesitated. He was afraid to take the responsibility in exchange for his life in America.
However, if he didn't change at all, he would evade going to Kabul. He finally made up his mind to go there because he was aware that he was old enough to take an action. He decided to do his own 'fighting' for his brother. I think this point especially showed Amir's change. Also, I found out that Amir became to respect others. He showed his respect at some points and he was more considerate then his childfood. He was egotistic and didn't consider of other's feeling when he was a child.

Amy's assignment 7

On one hand, Amir still a little cowardly. He didn’t want to heard the confusion things Rahim Khan told him and felt like going back to home. What’s more, he refused Rahim Khan’s request about Hassan’s boy at first because Kabul is dangous. The reason that Amir did’t want to take a risk to back to Kabul, because he has a family in America and live a peace life. He didn’t want to end this kind of happiness.
On the other hand, Amir become more braver and responsible for his past. He admitted Hassan as his brother and decide to back to Kabul to find Hassan’s son at last. He also felt sorry for what Baba had done to Ali and Hassan. Amir thought that it’s not fair to Hassan to live as a Hazara without respectful so many years. He think it’s time for him to atone the crime which Baba and himself did and end the bad cycle.

Stella's assignment 7

With time passed, Amir's character have changed in some aspects. Meanwhile,he still keep some character when he was a child. He become responsible and brave,he admitted that Hassan ,who was born by his father and a servant,is his brother. Besides,he became considerable,he bought suger before he went to see Hassan's son as he thought child would like this. By contract,Amir was still a little cowardice, when Rahim Khan spoke Hassan, when Amir spoke Hassan's name, he felt uncomfortable as he could not face the fact happened before. It was just like when he was young ,he make some mistake to Hassan,he chose to escape. Additionally,he is selfish as he do not want to go to Kabul, because in America, he has a home, wife and career.

Assignment #7 Liz

Amir has changed a lot since his childhood, becoming much more brave. When he was told by Rahin Khan that Hassan was his illegitimate half brother, although he escapeed at first, after a struggle, he built up his mind to bring Sohrab to Kabul. The other example is that in Jalalabad, he didn't avoid the Baba's secret. He was brave enough to admit that Hassan was Baba's love child. He is different from his childhood at this point, instead of run away. However, he is still very concerned about Hassan, which is the same as the past. The first example is that in Rahin Khan's house, he gave Amir Hassan's letter and photograph. Amir read the letter twice and looked at the photo for a long time, showing that how valued were this two stuffs to him. And when he showed the Polaroid to Wahid, he noted, "Seeing Hassan's picture again tore the fresh scab off his death. I had to turn my eyes away from it." These two examples both shows the fact that Hassan is still one of the most important persons in Amir's heart.

assignment 7

Adult Amir vs. Child Amir

From whole period of Amir’s growing, it was easy to find Amir was a sensitive and emotional people. The personality of Child Amir is complex because he didn’t know how to figure out and analyze things happened around him, so it cause his action that avoiding things happened. Hassa things shows it, weaknesses of Amir, and it real hurt Amir even he became a adult, it was obviously that shadow remained in his heart was never disappear.

People’s character actually has no change. The important things between Adult Amir and Child Amir is eventually Amir discover his essentiality, to face the real feeling, to be brave, to be soft and to be honest, and these reason help he raise above his shadow. The other change is he becomes more patient, not like that easily being piece off.

As story goes on, when Amir back to see hassa’s son, it symbolize a change of Amir compared with he left his friend away. Also, We can see adult Amir was much more mature than he was young.

Jun's assignment7

The adult character of Amir was somewhere different to the child character of Amir. The big changed was that he started to stop his self-interest becoming doing his own fighting and facing facts in his own thinking and actions. He flight to Pakistan after he got a call from Rahim Khan even he was not sure what he was going to do with it. But in the end he decided to go to Kabul to look for Hassan’s son. Sohrab, he knew it was “a way to be good again.” He grew up. When Amir stayed in Wahid house, Amir told Wahid that he went to Kabul for looking for a boy. At the first time, he released himself after many years lies. He told Wahid that Hassan was his half-brother, his illegitimate half brother. In another hand, we also can see some his adult character similar to his child character such as his self-interest before getting change, even though he had known all the secrets about his family from Rahim Khan. He wanted to evade the truth. “I can’t go to Kabul. … I have a wife in America, a home, a career, and a family.” “I wished Rahim Khan hadn’t called me. I wished he had let me live on in my oblivion.” He run away.

assignment #7

There are similarities and differences between adult amir and child amir. Because of Amir grew up in America, he developed himself in many ways. He changed as personality. Because, now he is an adult and take responsibilities. But, of course he still has similarities with child Amir. Because many of his behaviour is remains from his childhood. We can see similarities both ways as physical and mental. If we need to give some examples, he still has car sickness. This is one physical similarity, that he has. When Rahim Khan asked him to go and bring Sohrab. Amir wants to escape from it. He doesn't want to do that. He doesn't stand for his brothers son. That shows, he is just like when he was a kid. But, Of course there are differences between adult Amir and child Amir. Biggest difference is, even though he hesitates first, adult Amir takes responsibility and he fights for right. He tries to be a man. Also, another difference about Amir. He thought that he and Baba was different. Now he sees that there are similarities between Baba and him more than he knew. In a way, he starts to be like Baba.

Adult Amir vs. Child Amir from Dana

After Amir had been lived in American for many years and he became 38 years old. The adult characters of him have changed as the child character of him in his thinking and his actions. When he was a child, he believed that Hassan is only his servant. He never admits Hassan as his friend or brother. But after Rahim Khan told him all the truth, he said to Wahid ‘He was my half-brother, my illegitimate half brother.’ He finally admitted that Hassan is his brother, and he went to find Hassan’s son to bring him back. He also had become more generous. He gave his own watch as a gift to a child because he thought the child liked it. He would never do this before. What is more, he left a fistful of money under a mattress in order to help those children. However, some of his adult characters still like the child character of him. He still won’t stand up for himself or anything. When Rahim Khan asked him to bring Sohrab back, he said ‘I don’t want to go to Kabul, I can’t! Kabul is a dangerous place. ’ He was still very selfish. He didn’t want to give up his life to go to Kabul. He said ‘I have a wife in America, a home, a career, and a family.’

Alzahid-Adult Amir Vs. Child Amir

From what we have read in the past chapters, we can easily tell that Amir lived a weak childhood, he wasn’t able to do anything by him self. Amir got older and he is trying to fix what he had done in his childhood, that why his going back to Afghanistan.

As in Chapter 16, in which Rahim Khan updates Amir on what has happened to Hassan since Amir and Baba left Kabul, or in Hassan's letter, in which some of the same events are told from a different point of view

The adult Amir moves to remedy this failure by accepting the mission to rescue Hassan's son, Sohrab, from an uncertain end.

The author alludes to earlier in the book, when Amir hid money in Hassan's bed in order to get rid of the guilt-inducing presence of the boy. This time, however the adult Amir hides money in order to help Farid's family, who suffer greatly form the oppressive regime of the Taliban.

Adult Amir vs. Child Amir from Xinyue

During these years Amir becomes adult. His character has changed some but he still has the similar character with child Amir. The same thing between adult Amir and child Amir is that he is afraid of stand up to do anything. He doesn’t want to risk. At first he refuse to go Kabul because he has a wonderful life in America he is afraid of to lose it. Like when Hasson was treated badly by Assef he never help Hasson because he is afraid of he would get same treatment. Amir wished he didn’t get a call from Rahim Khan, he is afraid of admit all these truth. He lost the way. The difference between adult Amir and child Amir is that adult Amir admits Hasson as a brother. He said to other people Hasson is his half-brother. He found Hasson is very important person to him. When Amir was child he never said anything about relationship between them and never wanted to admit Hasson except servant. Now Amir wants to find a way to be good again, he very regrets his behavior in childhood. Although Amir didn’t want to go Kabul, he obeyed Rahim Khan’s advice to go to find Hasson’s son. He know it is right and he has responsibility to do that as a son, a brother and an uncle.

Anna's Assignment# 7

Adult Amir vs. Child Amir
In order to chapters 15-19 I understood that Amir behavior was really changed compare to when he was a child. In some cases he still behave like a child because I believe there is some behavior in most the people that they grow with them and getting rid of them is so hard. Like when children grow with feel of jealousy he/she will have this feel for whole of his/her life unless people want to change their manner. As I read the text I figure out Amir still has not good feeling about Hassan or feel of missing him, because when he saw Rahim Khan he didn’t ask about Hassan and what he is doing ,he waits until Rahim Khan start talking about Hassan. Also when Rahim khan asked for helping sohrab and picking him up from Kabul he wasn’t accepted, he said I have family I have good life in America, I don’t want to risk. He was still really selfish like in earlier when we read about when Assef and his friends hit Hassan, Amir stayed back and he didn’t help Hassan. In the other hand he had changed in some characteristics, such as generousness, like when he was in driver's house and he tough the children like his watch he gave them the watch, his own watch as a gift which he didn’t do that before. Also when he was about to leave there house he leave some money under the mattress for helping them. Actually he did this many years ago but this time for assisting them not for accusation to robbery.

As years ago when he saw Hasson was in trouble he considered it for a long time but finally he got away.But this time Amir stepped forward. He had the strength to face and deal with all the facts.Unlike years ago he told a lie to Baba in order to get ride of Ali and Hasson.

Assignment 6

International tourism is booming, millions of tourists go to other countries to explore the outside world. Tourism enhances the mutual understanding between the local people and tourists. Some people hold opposite opinions. They think that international tourism causes tension rather than promoting understanding between people from different cultures.
The people holding the latter view suppose that tourists are likely to offend the local people because of the lack of knowledge of the local customs, which differ from their own. Moreover, tourism inevitably harms the natural resources and the cultural legacy, which may lead to the resentment of the local people.
However, I can hardly assent to this idea: the above mentioned rarely happens. In my opinion, international tourism does encourage the understanding between people from different countries. For one thing, without going to see for themselves, people may never know what other countries are really like and thus can be misled by hearsay or films and TV programmes, which, more often than not, are one-sided. For instance,having seen the fine scenery or experienced the rich culture of other countries, tourists will have the desire to develop a good relationship with the locals, which certainly contributes to the understanding between them.
In conclusion, instead of causing tension, international tourism furthers the understanding of people from different countries.

My topic is about plastic shopping bags. In my opinion, customers should be charged for plastic bags especially in America. In Japan, we have to pay money for plastic bags in most stores because they waste a lot of resources. Therefore, I was surprised that people uses many plastic bags more than they need. I think if people in America make an effort to reduce a waste of resources, we can change the environment in the world.

My topic is about using animals for testing is ethic or not. On this topic, I think animals on testing should must done. Because, this is the only way to understand the side effects or results of the experiment. But, it should be in proper way. There should be some rules about it. Testing animals should be limited and if they are suffering,right things should be done.

We share our daily lifes with a lot of animals. Sometimes they could be our best friends, and sometimes they provide us our main needs. They serve us most of the time. What about they used for testing that so dangerous for testing on human being.

My topic is about TV violence. Nowadays the violence in the TV is more than before. Some people think the violence in the TV is bad, but I believe TV violence is not bad. I’d like to talk about this topic because I think the violence in the TV can make the show more attractive. And I don’t think the violence has negative effect to our life. It is just a show.

My topic is about Chinese food in America. There are many Chinese food restaurants in America, but Chinese food has been changed a lot to adapt to different tastes. Some Chinese are no longer authentic any more. And Chinese food is consideresd as unhealthy food by some nutritionists, which, I think has close relation with the change. So if you choose to eat Chinese food in a right way, it will do nothing harmful. I am interested in this topic because I am a foreigner here, and I can't get authentic food. I miss my home town food so much, it is the same with other international students, I think.

My topic is GOAL.
“Success” is very attractive word and everyone want to taste it. If you want to get the success, there is no doubt that you must know what you need could give you the success. That’s why I choose this topic.
Goal is very important for everyone to get his or her success. It’s the key of success and a indispensable element in people’s life. You will have energy to work hard with setting a goal, so the goal is the origin of your energy. You will also know the reason that you work hard. If you are clear for this concept, you may work hard without any carelessness. Of course it's easier and earlier for you to achieve your goals with setting ones at first. Just like Bolt, he could break WR and create miracles again and again with giving himself higher goals step by step. So we should set different goals for ourselves to fulfill our ambitions.

Gun shoot is not singularity in american. because anyone is lawful possession of a firearm. because of they have guns, so when they quarrel with each other easy to angry and shoot each others.so i do not agree with american low which one is allow people have guns.Although American is freedom country, citizen have their droit to protect their free,when they are can't adapt of goverment, they can use gun fight with goverment.this is good thing, because this low american do not afraid of their bad goverment, but as we know gun is dangerous weapon, it can easy to kill people,this is why american have high shoot crim rate. good people use gun to protect themselves,bad guys use gun to kill. In my opinion the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. now in american is peaceful country, here no war or social unrest, so gun is not necessary.but they want proteck themselves how can they do?i think american people should set up a body. this organization for the stockpiling of weapons in peace time and with civilian management no goverment cotrol. when they need against with goverment or something then the organization will give them weapon to fight. if like this people will more safe and relax than now.

Anna Assignment# 6

I choose Black Friday as my topic.
Black Friday is the day after thanksgiving. In the busiest shopping day in year people try to win in the shopping race! Which is really interesting for me. Most of people wait all year till black Friday for buying their requirement. In black Friday you can see long lines that have come to existence sine one day before. In the other hands most retailers also lay heavily on black Friday to sale their produce especially in recession. The controversial question is that if there is a big deal and great bargain for customer why the retailers lay heavily on the Black Friday. In this essay I want to say that black Friday and most of discount in this day are lour more than real and all of them are publicity more than great bargain.

Dana'sn Assignment 6

My topic is Octuplet mom: ‘All I wanted was children’. The reason why I choose this topic is because I'm familiar with this topic and I think this is an interesting story. In my point of view, I think nobody can judge her, because America is a free country, people do whatever they want. I think that the people do have the right to having as many children as they want using reproductive technology. However, I'm disagree with what she did. If she had enough money to raise the babies then she could gave birth to 14 children. In fact, she is a single mom and she asks her family, her church, her friends to help raise her babies. So I think she doesn't take responsibility, she only thinks about herself. But this kind of reproductive technology is good for people who can not get pregnant.

HW 5

For baba the idea of America is a power, a better chance, a lot of opportunities, maybe a better future for his son Amir. baba wanted to start a live over there. however, it seems to be harder than he thought. baba got shocked, he didn't think they was a trust between people in America. An example of that when he was at the store trying to purchase something they asked hem of an ID he called that not trust.

For me I never thought of coming here so I didn't think about it a lot before I come here It just happened, but i used to have some ideas about America like it is a powerful country and love that idea.

Abdul Assignment #5

When Amir says "Baba like the idea of America" That means Baba want to go and live in America after what happened in Kabul. Baba wanted a better life for Amir, better future. Baba and Amir moved to the US, Baba had to work in a gas station to make money to eat, he's not wealthy anymore. One day Baba went the geochery store to buy some fruit and he didn’t have cash one him so he would written Mr.Nguyer the owner a check and Mr.Nguyer had asked for ID."He want to see my license,"Baba bellowed in Farsi. Baba got so angry and says "What kind of country is this? No one trusts anybody!" so he missed Kabul so much and how things going great for him there. For Baba America is a place to mourn his memories.

I heard lots of bad things about America before I got here, like how people are raciest and its not safe to live there. I been here almost three years now and nothing bad happened to me, I like it.

Assignment # 5

I believe that there are many people in the world have the same idea Baba had about the U.S.A. “Baba loved the idea of America,” it was clear to me that he loved the life in America before he tried to live in it. More specifically, the idea of America means that a country full of opportunities. A good example could be his reflections to President Reagan speech on TV. Suddenly, this idea got changed when he encountered the reality. His behavior toward Mrs. Nguyen request of the ID was a good example of his reflection on reality of America. He could not accept her request and explained it in negative way. Another good example could be his thoughts about been seen buying food with charity money. Giving those two examples could help us understand how Baba got chocked by the reality of America.
About me, before I arrived to the U.S, I had an idea that this country was a full of crimes, however, I knew that there were many chances for people to build their future. Now, living in the U.S is completely different from the idea of America. I adjusted my thoughts, I know not all states have very high crimes rate, only a few. I know that is always a chance for a hard worker to achieve her goals.

wei's #5 assignment

Baba used to be a man with power and very high expectations and self-respect, but there in US, he was no longer with any power and wealth.What's left is self-respect.He still loved his son Amir a lot and this was one of the reasons but not the major one that they moved to US.As he said "I didn't bring us here for me, did I?" which showed he wanted his son to have a bright future.Why he chose America is that he loved being powerful and American idea is respect achievements and power.Thus he chose move with his son to America. Of course US was the most powerful country.
Before i came to US. i thought Americans are not very friendly since i watched tons of movies about how violent americans are and how much power they want to have.I thought in US, almost everyone has a gun from being rubbed on the street.However , here in Kent, almost everyone is friendly and glad to help each other.They even greet strangers on street which we don't do that in China.Seeing is believing.That's is what my experence told me.

Assignment 5

I think baba’s thought about America is an ideal and peaceful country. He bring Amir to America from Africa basis on many reason that relate with war and degenerate people. Just like he said, “There are only three real men in this world, America the brash savior, Britain, and Israel.” He count them expelling the rest of them, instead of that, he call them “gossiping old women”. In spite of he thought American is rude, it still better than others. As for baba America is a hope. So he still dream for America and want to work hard there.As for me, I believe it is a good place for leaning language and leaning cultural. Even though it have been a short time since I came here, and i didn’t work hard admittedly. I just enjoy every thing new here, the way American think, the way American thought. I think they are polite and efficient people. One more thing that I appreciate very much is adventure around me. They looks old and romantic like they come from fairytale.

Hitomi assignment#5

Before Baba came to America, he had a good image about the U.S. At the beginning of chapter 11, he described America as "the brash savior" and one of three real men in the world. However,
he found out that his idea of America was different from the reality. The environment around the Bay Area is terrible for him. Also, when he entered the grocery store, he got mad to Nguyens because he was asked to show his ID. It's because he was very rich and had authority in Kabul, but his power didn't work any more in the U.S. Therefore, he had a frustration about that.
In my case, I thought that every American is friendly and overweight, also America is very dengerous place like everyone has a gun or knife. But it was of course not. There are so many kinds of people in the U.S. and it is not as danger as my expectation.

assignment #5

living in America gave Baba's an ulcer. But in reality, it's quite different. From the text, Baba got mad by asked for ID to paid with check in the grocery store. Also, the place they living in is bad.

My idea of America is similar to reality. I'm still live in earth. there still people with two hands, two legs, a face with two eyes, two ear. the place have sky, tree, and houses.

Baba's and Kiho's Thought for America

At first Baba loved idea of America, but it would not be adjusting to life in new country because living in American was totally different from his hometown. For example, when he wanted to buy any product by credit, he did not need to show his ID to anyone; however, here in America he had to prove his identify because he was not famous, and nobody could trust when it came to money. Therefore, his first thought, America the brash savior, was destroyed.
For me, I was really afraid of living in America before I came here because people could have a gun. It was not typical thing in Korea even police office. I thought people could easily fire gun when they were mad. But I changed after a few month later American people also afraid of gun, and carrying a gun was not typical thing to people, so I have felt safe with here now.

Anna assignment #5

As I understood from chapter 10 & 11, baba had found America as a safe place where can be ladder for his son Amir. Baba had found the united state as “brash savior”. As an example he told Amir “there are only three men in this world, America the brash savior, Britain and Israel”. When they were living in America baba found that living in America is not as sweet as in Kabul. In Kabul baba was famous and also he had a lot of common things with their neighbors. He couldn’t adapt himself with new country and culture where nobody can trust him as well as their neighbors in Kabul.
Individually before I came to united state my idea was contrary, I expected to encounter with so polite and well organized people, but I didn’t. In America sometimes people, especially young persons, mix up rudeness with freedom. Democracy and freedom is a great characteristic in U.S.A but most of the time young people abuse it, but I still believe in America as a good country.

Li 10&11

For people who lived in the country with war, all of them will think America is a ideal country for live. For BABA here do not have sound of bullet fired, no agro ,no war. Do not need afraid about someday have bullet throw his head also here is free country. And in his mind “American is real man”. But after BABA began to live here, He felt there are not perfect like imagination, here is a lack of trust between people. because different language, communication between him and the locals is a problem, and he just can find a hard work. before i came America, for me the impression that here is a developed economy look like everyone has his own car freedom of speech, fair competition,no cheat and most of people believe Christianism and read bible always pray before eat .everyone is enthusiastic and very polite.But as some body said things always imagined to be better than reality.after i lived here about half year , i found that there's also have cheat and deceptive, and some young men very rude for foreigner,When they drive past the roadside always shouted F word for foreigners, i think this is performance of not have diathesis .

Abdulaziz


As I understood from the text that I read about what Amir said that baba liked the idea of america . Baba realized that what had happened in the truck that he and his son weren't in a perfect place to live so he liked to move to a save place with his son to save their life.However, he liked america because maybe it was a save place and good for living. Also, he thougth the life would be better thanin peshawer.

Stella's assignment 5

In Baba's opinion,America is a great country,America the brash savior are real men in this world. Actually,American do not live in harmony.No one trusts anybody.Nguyen wants to see Baba's license when he had no cash on him for the oranges although Baba and Amir have bought Nguyen's damn fruits and put money in his pocket.

Before i came to America,i supposed i would be tease as i am a foreigner and American are full of pride and prejudice as America is one of the strongest country in the world. But i think American are very hospitable now,they are so friendly,they say hello to you even they do not know you. Besides,they seem to ready to help you whenever if you meet with trouble.

Assignment 5 form Xinyue

Before came to the America Baba thought America is a good place for their future. Baba thought one of the real men in the world is American the brash savior. How Baba dream about this country, as if he planed to come here for long time. I think he must want to run his own business in here. Like when he was in Peshawar. And he believed Amir can have a good future in here. In my opinion this is the most important his idea of the America. But in fact everything is not as well as he thought. He found in this country no one trusts anybody. And he just got a small job and it made him fatigue. So he missed everything in Peshawar, like people, fields, and gardens. Baba was adjusting to America life for a long time. However there was much unhappiness happened, Baba didn’t want to go back Peshawar. Because he still believed America is the good place for Amir. I found although Baba changed a lot view of America, there is only one idea never change. I know here is just talk about Baba’s idea of America but I want to say form the idea of America I found Baba loves Amir very much.
Before I came here I thought America must have tall buildings everywhere. There are all develop cities. And America must have convenient transportation. And many kinds of stores, it must be busy every day. But when I arrived here I found not every place is like that just big city is like what I imaged. There are many small towns like Kent. And if you don’t have a car you cannot go anywhere. It’s very inconvenient. I know every developed country has its countryside.

Assignmet#5

When Amir says, "Baba like the idea of America." He is talking about moving to USA. They ran from the war, they want to have more bright future. Baba's idea of America is based on to give Amir a better life. We can understand it, when he says, "Peshawar was good for me. Not good for you." Also, Baba thought that he could adjust to American culture, they could be same as Kabul. But, in realtiy Baba was not a wealthy man in USA anymore. He worked as a mechanic to bring money home. Also he does not have the respect and friends like in Kabul. All that hard work and stress give Baba ulcer and some other illness. My idea about USA is not clear enough to see right now. Becase, The USA that i know from media is totally different from Kent. I haven't seen other parts of USA. So I am not sure about my idea. Also, because of I am a student. It doesnt fulfill my idea. Although, my ideas about studying in USA are relatively same. It was not a think that i don't expect.

Jun's assignment5

Baba loved the idea of America. That was the idea which he believed America was the brash savior, America was the country to be worth his time. “When Ronald Reagan went on TV and called the Shorawi ‘the Evil Empire.’ Baba went out and bought a picture of the grinning president giving a thumbs up. He framed the picture and huge it in our hallway, nailing it right next to the old black-and-white of himself in his thin necktie shaking hands with King Zahir Shah.” He did love America with his idea of America.
But, America was a place to mourn his “idea of America” also. He worked hard at a gas station. He lived in a poor condition. He got an ulcer. It was a complete different life than before when he lived in his hometown. He missed his old life. There was one thing really make him upset for the thing happened on him in America. He got to fight with Mr. Nguyen when he was asked to show his ID at Mr. Nguyen’s grocery store. Because, it would not happen to be asked questions and ID when he bought grocery in Kabul. “What kind of a country is this? No one trusts anybody!”
I thought it would be very convenience to do things in America before I came here. Everybody knew that America is a developed country. But I’ve found it will be very inconvenience if you don’t know driving in America. I didn’t drive in my country. But I could go any place easier. It is more convenience than in America.

Jiahui's assignment 5

In my opinion, "Baba loved the idea of America" means he loved its daring and resolution. Baba was a tough guy so he appreciated a really strong and powerful country, such as America. What he said could prove it:"There are only three real men in this world, America the brash savior, Britain, and Israel." Beside of his own emotion to this country, there was also another reason Baba loved this idea. It's because his son, Amir. He believed America was able to give Amir a brand new life. Thus, Baba made it as one last gift for his son. He said exactlly,"I didn't bring us here for me, did I?" However, America was more difficult to be adapted than Baba had imagined before. As Amir explained to Mr. Nguyen: "my father is still adjusting to life in America." Baba didn't have his status and wealth any more. He should create his life at the very beginning. It's an enormous change that he turned to be a worker at gas station from upper class. Those hardships and poignancy expressed the distance between dream and fact.
Before I came here, I thought the American life may be quite different from the Chinese life and the differences will appear in every aspects. Thus, I wondered if I can stand it. In the matter of fact, ignoring the tastes of food, it's not so hard for me to adapt the life here, however. Even though I've met some rough problems and I know I'll meet more, it's not a big deal. I'm strong enough to face the challenges from life because I believe the future is in my own hands.

Terry's Assignment5

USA is many people’s dream not only in contemporary SOCIETY but at that time because of their democracy, liberty and opportunities. Every could come ture his or her dream here if he or she has ambition and do it. If you strive for your goals, you will fulfill your ambitions. Just do it, or nothing belongs to you.
Baba had nothing here but 2 hands now. Everything is zero for him, so he must start from zero. He was not rich any longer and everyone treated him not as kind as the people in the past. He also had to work hard for living. Sum up, all aspects have been changed in his life.
This is American dream that begin from zero and achieve your goals through struggling and then enjoy the feeling of success. It’s not only American dream but the essence of life. The essence of life is striving and then making your dream true by your own hands with tasting the happiness in the process!!!

Elizabeth's Assignment#5

As far as he knows, America is a place where dreams will come true. Baba believes that they will build their life again there. But the reality is different from what he knows and he is somehow disappointed at this. After two years in America, they still struggle for living and Baba has to adopt himself to the different lifestyle there. In the grocery, Baba has a conflict with the Nguyens' and he says no one trust anybody. Amir says in his hometown, people trust each other and they won't cheat. People in America are quite different from those in Kabul on this aspect. Before I came to USA, I thought this is a place where people advocate independence and honesty. It proves to be true. The difference is that I used to consider people here to be very neat or with cleanliness. But I find that some students are quite sluttery, because I have see a student laying all his clothes and underwears on the floor and another spitting on public place. I couldn't believe this at first.

Dana's Assignment 5 - KR Chapter 10&11

What he means is he thought America is a better country than Peshawar. Baba used to think America the brash savior. But in the reality, Baba worked at the gas station and lived in the poor area; most of their neighbors were blue-collar people. Baba said, “What kind of a country is this? No one trusts anybody!” He thought people in America trust nobody. He missed the sugarcane fields of Jalalabad and the gardens of Paghman. From chapter 11, we know that the Bay Area's smog stung his eyes, the traffic noise gave him headaches, and the pollen made him cough. The fruit was never sweet enough, the water never clean enough. A year and a half since they had stepped off the Boeing from Peshawar and Baba was still adjusting. For Baba, America is a place to mourn his memories. Before I came to America, I thought America is a very extraordinary country, everything in here is amazing and people in here are friendly. However, the reality of America is completely different as what I thought before. After I had been here for four months, I noticed that America is a very open and free country. You can do whatever you like and say whatever you want. For me, I think I’m still a very traditional person, I can’t accept something out of morals. People here are not friendly to everyone, because everybody is busy taking care of their own business. Sometime America made me feel uncomfortable and selfish. Although I had some bad impressions about America before, I still have to live my life here. So I decide to find the good things in America and enjoy my life in here.

Homework #5

Yingchen ZHAO(Amy)
It means that Baba thought America is a freely country. It’s a wonderful place for people to realized their dreams by their hard work. Baba and Amir come to American after a long time’s tough life in waiting and now they can really touch the place and begin their new life in this country where has no war. He think he can achieve his goal again. That’s why Baba said he love the idea of America, he can see the hope in this place. However, everything was not so great because when they were put in a absolutely different culture, they must try their best to adapt the new environment.There must have huge differences between the life in their mind and in the real America society. At the early time, Baba thought life is full of hope.However, the true is, he can’t adapt to the new life even nearlly two years’ stay. He quarreled with the owner of a bookstore just because she asked his ID. He felt that people here don’t trust others and also look down upon them. They lived in a poor area and Baba began to think about the life before they come here.
Well, before I come here, America in my mind is related with the words like busy, prosperous and lively. As the most strong country in the world, I think the cities must be full of exciting and interesting things. However, when I came here, I found what I thought is wrong. On the contrary, even the big city is really peacful. I’m looking forward to get some different experiences here but there’s no chance for me to do it. It’s a pity that the life here is far away of what I have thought before but I also enjoy this kind of quiet because this is a really a perfect for me to study and obtain many useful things or my future life.

Abdul assignment# 4



A model is a person who is posed or displayed for the purpose of art, fashion, or other products and advertising.
Kayla is the one we see in this picture ,she used to model for 5 years until she had an accident and lost her left hand she stopped modeling for a while. she didn’t have much attention before ,but now she does with only one hand. Beauty doesn’t mean perfect.
Although she still beautiful, and I agree with this picture.

Abdul assignment# 3

I would like to say that Amir and Hassan a bit of everything friends, servant/master, and bothers. children in they're age hardly think what servant and master means. Amir spend time with Hassan more than with Baba and his mother, so Hassan is like a family to him a brother in a better word. you see Hassa name almost every page in this text book and that’s mean Amir like him a lot. Amir and Hassan do things brothers cant do front of each other so he is a best friend to Amir.In chapter 5,"how can you call him your 'friend'?"Assef said. but he's not my friend! I almost blunted. He's my servant! yes that’s what Amir said, but he didn’t mean it ,he said it because he was scared of Assef. Amir also only play with Hassa when no one around, that doesn’t mean anything it just the way they used to. However Hassan is a servant and Amir the master but not between with them.

Abdul assignment# 2

Amir and his father had a distant relationship. From my point of view ,Baba love Amir so much and worried about him because his the only child he had and after Amir mom died Baba felt more worried. Amir cant understand how his father treated him, he was too young to know. Baba was a very successful man and he wanted Amir to be just like him, so he tell Amir to do things he cant do and that's why Amir thinks his father does not love him. In any country or culture the father love his children no matter what. So we cant say the relationship between Amir and his father wasn't healthy, it was quiet complicated.

Abdul assignment# 1

I totally disagree with him , what happened in the past is something you can't ever change .Sometimes you learn about things that u done ,even if it was wrong. Being tall or short is something you can't control. People comes in all shapes: tall or short, round or pencil thin. And they all want to fit in and be accepted.

Assignment 2

Assignment 2

The problem between Amir and his father is normal. Parents always think in their way and ignore children’s feeling. We can clearly see the gap between Amir and his father. We can attribute to difficulty for them reaching a consensus. When father commenced forcing his son, the gap become bigger and biger. So they cant have a very close bond. In the other way, Amir love and appreciate his father very much, he want to become like him, as strong as him. Therefore, he has a very complex feeling about his father, even he can not figure out.

Assignment 1

Assignment 1

Soul of shrimp
I think soul of shrimp is easily happened in such a person like him. People are reasonable get in this kind of feeling by defects. Only escaping is not a good way, people should first face the problem; rise above the weakness is an important step. Then try to change attitude.
However, I think my problem in writing is that I often use wrong words in sentences. That causes my sentences always not in a native way in English. So, sometimes, I am hesitant to speak and write. Sometime I lack of confidence to write and speak. But now, I am in American, if I only let the problem go because of no confidence, there is nothing help. When you figure out where the place you are, after some confidence come back, the soul of shrimp will disappear.
