the kite runner

As i continue reading this bookit has becoming more and more interesting. Right now Amir is learning how to except his fathers disapprovel. Amir is looking and searching soo badly just to find some sort of father figure in his life that he can look up to and relate or learn from. he wishes so that he and his father, Baba, could connect on any level. he feels his fathers blame at him for the lose of his wife, and Amir already feels guilt from knowing the reasoning why she is dead. Baba friend is really showing us that he sees what is happening adn realizes amir jsut needs someone an adult to look up to and even thought amir admires his father in everyway worships him like a god he knows he will never be likehim. Rahim Khan, his fathers friend, read a short story amir had writen adn went to show his father but again his father ended up blowing him off soo Rahim stept up and told him he would read it and he wrote this back to amir," Amir jan, I enjoyed your story very much. Mashallah, God has granted youa special talent. It is now your duty toh one taht talent, because a person who wastes his God- given talens is a donkey. you have written your stroy with sound grammar and interesting style. but the most impressive thing about your story is that it has irony. you may noy even know waht that word means. but you will someday. it is somethign that some writers reach for their entire careers and never attain. you have achieved it with your first story. my door is and always will be open to you, Amir jan. i shall hear any story you have to tell. Bravo. your friend, Rahim."(32) this is a very telling passage from teh book. it shows us that his father doesnt pay any attention because other wise his father would be telling him this it also shows that amir is a very creative and incredible smart child. i see this as a little bit of foreshadowing because Rahim says in his letter that he is always there to read any story he has to tell. i see that as forshadowing because i think he will turn into the father figure in his life. it is a little ironic because he seems to be surronded by all these men adn no women but for some reason he keeps searching for the one thing you would think he already has. that is a little misleading i think. He also has a strong bond with Hassan, the helps son, who is very naturaly smart, or thats the vib i get from reading it, that he picks up on things fast but yet always wants to grow and learn more and could if he only had the opertunity, and amir i think would be the last to give it to him. thats sad also because he is his friend hes not even sure if he thinks he is his friend at frist but then looks at it from a different point of view and sees that he is a good friend of his. He gabs Hassan whenever possible to already verify he is the help and is lower then him and will never be better. this to me was a very telling read it gives you a picture or a clip into some of the characters hearts and personalitys adn wants and needs. waht they long for or waht they dont long for.
