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.)
