This quote shows what the general thinks about the Afghans, and that he feels that the Afghans will be free of the Russians, and their would be new government in rule. Just like Baba even the general things that teaching is not a good profession instead she should have chose a book of professional like being officer or being a doctor say but in Baba's case Amir wanted to become a writer not a teacher. Something else to be considered is that the general things that Afghanistan will come outside of the Russian’s rule, and letting Soraya wait for a job that might not even be possible to get is not only foolish, but also insecure as how will they get their income. Something else that was written in the card that was really eye-catching was that the general said that give your family name …show more content…
Another reason I think that they're choosing a career is more on to the people who want to study study that particular Korean be a major it's because they are the people who need to proceed a career that entire life and do that more than 12 hours a day and think about it 24-7, and if it's something that don't like this shouldn't be able to do it for themselves to do it because in the end of the outcome will be really negative also because it would affect them and not only them but the people that actually working with, or impacting through their

He has finished his first year of college and earned A's in all of his courses" (116). Baba's inclusion of his son's accomplishments to impress others showcases his kindness and unwavering support for Amir. Baba could have chosen to say nothing or compelled Amir to pursue a different path, but his actions exemplify his genuine care and his desire to uplift his
Ironic devices There are many ironic instances in " The Kite Runner". An instance of situational irony is the Amir is wealthy, educated and spoiled and has all the privileges that Hassan does not have. Amir abuses his power to manipulate situation for his own benefit. For example, allowing his best friend Hassan to get raped so he can take home the prize kite to his father, hoping to gain his approval. Hassan is a selfless, good person who has good intentions and loves Amir expecting nothing in return and even though he did nothing to help him while he was being raped..
Similar to that of a kite’s composition, a degree of irony is woven into the friendship of Amir and Hassan. The kite’s characteristic beauty deceives onlookers as to its ruthless intentions; rather than simply displaying the kite’s graceful movements and appearance, kite fighters aim to destroy and capture their opponents. Likewise, while socially and culturally Amir is superior in education and power, an evaluation of loyalty and courage reveals that the lower-class Hazara servant maintains dominance. In fact, Hassan is able to forgive Amir for his betrayal decades before Amir is able to forgive himself, shown in his yearning “to rekindle things between [them]” (87-88). Amir understands his elevated social standing, but also recognizes Hassan’s superior self-confidence and forgiveness.

The story begins in California when he had moved from Kabul because the Russians were starting to invade. Khaled Hosseini uses symbolism to describe character reactions and emotions throughout friendships and connects with the story.
The author provides the reader with mixed feeling about Amir. In his childhood in Kabul Amir comes off as heartless person. He is this because he has done evil stuff in his life. In the beginning of the story something bad happens to Hassan, Amir says,¨In the end, I ran.
The final guilt Amir struggles with is his guilt of apathy where he physically commits the action and instead of standing as a bystander becomes the person who committed the act, which gives him a different form of guilt. Amir feels apathy guilt through betraying his friend and kicking Hassan out of the house because he is a witness to the crime Amir has committed. Amir has guilt because he chases Hassan out, “I flinched, like I’d been slapped… Then I understood: This was Hassan’s final sacrifice for me… And that led to another understanding: Hassan knew.
Dreams can often be symbolic of a person’s situation in real life. However, rather than this being true in The Kite Runner, Hosseini uses irony to flip the situation and make Hassan’s life quite the opposite of his dream. Hassan’s dream is set in Ghargha Lake, and Amir is seen to be the brave and courageous young boy who jumps into the lake to prove there is no monster. The created setting is one of great celebration as tons of people witness Amir’s bravery. Hosseini creates this setting to intensify the following scene, in which Amir turns out to be a coward, not saving his lifelong companion Hassan and therefore it is not probable of him to jump into a lake with a rumored monster dwelling at the bottom.

He resists for Amir whom he loves with his whole heart. Amir witnesses this struggle, but he does nothing; he runs away since “he was just a Hazara, wasn’t he?” (Hosseini 77). Amir has always believed, deep down, that his father favored Hassan, a Hazara, the dirt of Afghan society, over him, his own son. Seeing Hassan reduced to that level of baseness is perversely satisfying for him.
