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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

However, after a kite competition, an evil thing happened to Hassan. What's worse, due to Amir's timidity, their relationship deteriorated.

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.

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.
