Kite Runner Blog social action

               Wow what a change of thoughts that i have towards Kite Runner it really grasps every conflict a human being will go threw. Some of the questions that i have is how does Amir feel after witnessing what happened to Hassan? For me that would traumatize me not only visually but mentally. That one person from another tribe all the sudden gets to get a away with an act that can have people in this country be put in jail for decades. But yet you have to remember that these are people from a completely other land and maybe there conscious is so blank from all the elders that are in Afghanistan.
               I remember thinking at home after reading about 20 pages that each page changes my opinion on each character. Baba doesn't seem like such a bad guy anymore. I actually kind of feel bad for him, because he just isn't getting how to parent his kid and the worst part about this situation is he is only going to appreciate Amir if he is successfully. That really reminds to some of the parents that my Dad told about when he was at Harvard. He said some of them really only care about the trophies or achievements.  
              They never really stop to care if there child is happy or how they are doing emotionally. Which in Amir's case Baba wants him to be good at every thing for example: soccer or other kind of activities. Though Baba doesn't understand his son it is starting to show that he is trying his hardest to help Amir out and is adapting to Amir's love of books and writing. That is really the best kind of father, the one that tries the hardest to make a difference in his child's life.
               Kite Runner is such a good and well thought out book that really implies all the actions of cruelty and irresponsibility at it's peak. No matter who you are or whats your story you still are a human that can only do good. But with Kite Runner it's nothing more than a story and that's all it doesn't matter if you interpret it with effort or not. What matters is that you get to live your life in your own story and nobody is stopping you from creating your life story.

( Note I didn't talk about the other parts of the story. That will be in the next blog as I rap up the story and the book.)

Kite Runner blog

             When I read something I at least expect to get a story that i can take away from. But with Kite Runner it's not only a story but a testament of human action and nature. When you read a book you normally ask typical questions about each character and automatically with out even thinking you realize who is good or who is bad. You follow two boys named Amir and Hazara who are both pashtun boys.  Amir's dad "Baba" is a successfully business man and is one of the wealthiest men in there neighborhood. Hazara's dad is Amir's dad's servant and  his name is Ali who is very close with Baba.
            The story starts off with a lot of actions and a little amount of explanation of what is really going on in the story. I started off feeling really suspicious about Amir's dad and once I got to know him I saw that he really isn't what you call a "good" father figure to Amir. Baba Doesn't really care so much for his children as he does for his work. Amir's real father in my opinion is Rahim Khan "who is Babas good friend". Rahim acts in a more honest and mature manner to Amir and actually cares for Amirs unique talents such as being a really good writer. Amir's best friend always has such a unique relationship with this boy named Hassan, who always protects no matter what. Even if it's with this big Strong kid named Assef, Hassan is always there to help.
              I am about a third of my way threw this book and have already got a story that I will keep for the rest of my life. This book really seems to have no boundary's or no shame in telling the truth. I recommend this book only for the people that can be mature and responsible to take out the things that are important not grouse. Who knew that one little story could turn out to show you how hard life could be and expand your views on this world.

Musicophilia by oliver sacks

           Have you ever wondered why we like music or why do we get songs stuck in our heads? I have and so has Oliver Sacks a Neuro physician and author of this wonder full book. When I was two years old my mom took me to see Pinchas Zukerman "a violinist" who moved me in such lengths to make me want to play the violin. So when I was four my mom finally took me to a teacher who would be willing to teach the violin. Now it's been over 9 years and I still am playing, which shows that one little concert of music could be so meaning full to someones life. That it can actually change someones life forever.
           Oliver sacks claims that the reason why we like music so much is that it triggers rest and peace in mind which makes your brain respond to music the way it would to when you are sleeping. You're brain responds to music so well that it normally craves it in a way you would crave food or any kind of item. He also states that music can moves us to any peak or depth of emotion. Meaning that we can as sad as possible just threw a couple of minutes listening to music.
          How is it that I remember a song and it is now stuck in my head? Oliver sacks theory about memorizing music is that each note in any key turns into a color in your head. So for example lets say there's a song that you haven't heard in years but you when you hear it you recognize it immediately. The reason you recognize it because of the notes the same colors went off in your head in the same pattern. Allowing you to recognize the song with it also bringing some kind of deep or happy emotion in each phrase! I have only read 5 chapters of this book so far, but I feel I am already starting to get the big picture of it and cannot wait to see what incredible information i will learn after i am done with this book.

Stephen hawking the grand design blog review

           When did the world and the universe begin? Who created this world and why? Those are the main questions that we as humans and even as readers have in our everyday lives. As long as I could remember I have always thought about those two questions. No matter how hard I tried there is no real answer that i could believe in or trust. But Stephen Hawking has spent his entire life's work on finding the answer of those questions threw physic's and mathematical equations. As a result of all those years he has now pored all his ideas into one book. With one main mission to try to tell people his theory of the beginning of what we call the universe! The real idea of it isn't really saying that there is no such thing as god, but simply saying that this is just a scientific idea not a absolute answer. He states threw science that something comes from nothing, rather than something coming from something. Which didn't make sense at all, because when I got really interested into this subject a few years ago. Other books from Nobel winning scientist's either have stated that something comes from something or it all has happened threw "The Big Bang", but not really ever telling you how did the big bang really occurred. To me this book has opened a lot of new doors and with Stephen Hawking showing how to explain something really difficult and make it sound really understandable. Which is a first for me because last time I read a book in this genre i could only understand half of it, but with this book I could understand the book in a macro perspective rather than a micro perspective!
