One of the many aspects that Hosseini added to his novel is the symbol of the kite. Amir takes this kite as a symbol of happiness and also of guilt according to (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/the-kite-runner/themes.html) (1). Amir goes through a hard time when he is a witness of Hassan’s dignity being taken. Amir at the moment does nothing about it because he feels like it would take all attention away from him by Baba. Baba, being a champion kite flyer feels extremely proud of his son because Amir is following his
He wish that he can use the slingshot to scare away Assef to protect Amir. Hassan did this does not show he was a brave person. “I had to strain to hear the fear that I knew hid under that calm voice.” (Hosseini, 46) He was scared at the time.
Hassan is always willing to protect Amir and others who are unable to fight back because he, more than anyone, knows what it is like to be bullied. Even willing to take abuse from Amir (e.g., when Amir throws pomegranates at Hassan (p. 92-93), when Hassan takes the blame for stealing Amir’s presents (p. 105)), he refuses to sink to anybody else’s level of character
Stacey By:Alanah Bible Courage is when you are brave and do what you think is right no matter what others think or say. In the novel, Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry by Mildred Taylor she uses Stacey Logan. He is a very brave boy who has come up with smart plans so he can stand up for what he believes in and his family. Even though Stacey faced many struggles the main ones were when he came up with the idea to break down the bus, he walked T.J home even though T.J. had been a terrible friend to the Logans, and Stacey stayed and watched what happen when the Wallaces went to the Averys to make sure nothing bad happened to him. Stacey 's actions proved that he was a very brave and smart boy, who loved his family and that he was willing to fight for the land and do whatever he could to help save it even willing to take consequences for it.
Seeking redemption can be a powerful motivating force behind one’s actions. If a person is looking to be redeemed, the process in which they attempt to find redemption can change them as a person and drive them to do things they never previously would have. In Khaled Hosseini’s novel, The Kite Runner, Amir spends a large portion of the story seeking redemption from his past sins. This forces him to step away from his previously cowardly nature, and leads him to do things he never thought he could. Throughout the novel, symbols such as the kite, Amir’s dream of fighting the bear his father did, and the motif “for you a thousand times over” demonstrate Amir’s character development.
How can two novels like “ The Kite Runner and “ To Kill a Mockingbird have any similarities or differences? In “The Kite Runner” one of the most known characters that sacrifices his life for family and what he believes in is Hassan, he is a brave and tough person who has had many challenges in his life. More than, in “To Kill a Mockingbird” Atticus is the same, he always stands with what 's right and is willing to do the impossible to fight against racist people. Hassan and Atticus are both characters who are role models and intelligent. On the other hand their intelligence and respect sometimes disturbs other characters.
Mr. Morrison will give up anything for the people he loves. Would you be brave enough to stand up to a white killer with a gun? Mr. Morrison stood up for Papa and the Logan family, even though he could get hurt and face consequences. Mr. Morrison, Papa, and Stacy were heading to the house when the Wallaces came by. They shot papa in the head!
This shows that even though Stacey knew that he could very easily get hurt, he did it anyway. He showed that even though he can be scared, he will still do the right thing. It is really hard to do the right thing, especially when you know that the right thing could end up badly. To show that Stacey is really courageous he did a series of courageous acts.
Amir strives to redeem himself in Baba’s eyes because his mother died giving birth to him, and he feels responsible for that. To redeem himself to Baba, Amir thinks he must win the kite-tournament and bring Baba the losing kite: Hassan was able to lead a fulfilling life due to his great ability of forgiving others. Hassan has always forgiven Amir. This is shown when Amir quotes Hassan had forgiven Amir after so much time had passed by. Years later, Hassan had written a letter to Rahim Kahn.
According to www.enotes.com he had the qualities of a god and he was very intelligent and even if sometimes he gave up he never stop being a hero to his people. He was always trying to save the people that he liked and never gave up hope. He also never gave up what he believed in he never would call himself a hero even though he knew he was a hero. Odysseus also would never surrender without a fight he would always gave it his best shot, he never gave up and surrendered to his enemies. When he knew sometimes "Odysseus" could of been outnumbered he would not go down without a fight.
Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg 's heroism is genuine because he receives no personal gain in his work. To exemplify this, the article “Rabbi With Black Belt In Karate Helping Sick Kids Fight Cancer!” states that "57 year old Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg, affectionately known by most as 'Rabbi G. ' is the founder of Kids Kicking Cancer, a not for profit organization" (Illuminate the World 3). He is truly altruistic as his organization is nonprofit and shows selflessness and humility.
It seems that there is no reason to keep surviving in a world which no hopes remain, a father still perseveres to survive with his son and they are sustained by their love. On their journey, the father sacrifices a lot to protect his son and strongly shows his parental love. In this book, the father and the son have great
He stood up to people he knew would be able to make his life miserable. He did all of this while remaining calm. Doing that takes a lot of courage and bravery because he knew there was a chance of something terrible happening to him. “‘If you make a move, they’ll have to change your name from Assef ‘The Ear Eater’ to ‘One-Eyed Assef,’ because I have this rock pointed at your left eye.’ He said this so flatly that even I had to strain to hear the fear that I knew hid under his calm voice” (Hosseini 42).
You will never again refer to him as a Hazara boy in my presence. He has a name, and it is Sohrab.” (Script). This bold phrase clearly shows that Amir will defend human rights violations no matter who in abusing the right. His wife says “it felt so real”.
