In the story so far, "The Kite Runner" by Kahled Hosseini, Amir and Hassan are best friends but are separated by society. Hassan is a brave and loyal person while in the other half Amir is a coward and selfish. Hassan is the son of the servant Ali and Amir is the son of a rich and respected man "Baba." Amir and Hassan grew up together just like Ali and Baba were. Hassan always stood up for Amir. He was loyal and honest. Amir was always jealous of Hassan because of his bravery and how much he was admired by Baba. In the story Hassan gets raped by Assef, a bully who hates Hazaras, and Amir just lets it happen. Through the story Amir feels guilty and cant bare to see Hassan in the eyes, so he tries anyway to get rid of Ali and Hassan until he finally did. Baba and Amir move to America where they are poor. Baba gets cancer and wants Amir to get married to General Thahiri's daughter Soraya "his swap meet princess."Know we are waiting for what is going to happen next.
In the group discussion a lot of things when on. Everybody was into the story and the characters. I participated and played Baba. A lot of great questions were asked. I loved this story and I cant wait to see what happen next.
