Analytical Review Of Amir's The Kite Runner

70 Words1 Page

This is how Amir was feeling when he was riding in the fuel tank. This type of feeling is called panic. I’m sure this paragraph was placed in the text to represent how Amir was feeling when Hassan’s rape was taking place. He probably did not know what to do, or how to handle the situation. Maybe that’s why it was so difficult for him to defend Hassan. (68 words)

  • Amir's Power In The Kite Runner

    I believe the source of Amir’s power is in his ethnicity because he was born in a higher class. I also believe that Hassan had some power since he was the son of Baba. Throughout the book, you can see that Hassan had lived a plight free life. Amir would always scoff at Hassan about literature, even though Hassan is unschooled. Hassan always stayed loyal, although I would think he would feel animosity towards Hassan.

  • Amir's Redemption: The Kite Runner

    172 Words  | 1 Pages

    There are several characters who could be considered the Kite Runner, but I think there is the most evidence for the main character, Amir. My opinion is that the kite symbolizes redemption for Amir. For example, on page 92 and 93, when Amir tries to get Hassan to retaliate to the pomegranate at him. Amir wants him to retaliate because it will make him feel the punishment that he needs to allow him to rebuild his friendship with Hassan. Hassan ended up obliging to leave, after Amir attempted to forget his remorse, even though Hassan was Amir’s best friend.

  • Quotes In The Kite Runner

    916 Words  | 4 Pages

    This passage goes back to when Amir was a kid, and how on multiple occasions had asked Hassan to prove that he was a loyal friend to him. The way that the author, Khaled Hosseini, flashed back to Amir’s childhood, shows the pain Amir has to feel in his present life trying to prove he can be loyal to Sohrab. I think the author is once again showing the emotional pain from Amir’s past with the rape to now having to deal with the repercussions of keeping it a secret for so long. Like Hassan did for him, Amir now has to prove himself worthy and loyal to Sohrab in order for them to have a trusting relationship. I believe that the way Hosseini wrote these sentences shows how Amir is having to pay an emotional price for his actions in the past.
