“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime, Amir.” This quote, from the book, The Kite Runner, speaks of the theme of cautiousness and consequences.
What good news does Amir learn in Chapter 13? He made his story about a father and his son in Kabul on his typewriter and someone from New York read it and wants to be his agent and later on in the month his novel was published.
How does Baba view Amir's episodes with car sickness? Baba sees the sickness a weakness of Amir.
The Kite Runner (2003) by Khaled Hosseini is not a true story and this needs to be clear. Crystal clear. Much of the hype surrounding this fictive world from individuals who often spoke to me about this book was that the story was a true one.
In the summer of 1988, Amir finishes his first novel. He gets it published, and then he and Soraya start trying to have a baby. They are unable to conceive, however, and after numerous tests, doctors cannot explain why they can't have a child. They talk about adoption, but General Taheri says he doesn't like the idea.
What happens to your senses when you read the paragraph beginning with Panic on page 121? It an awful suffocating feeling. I imagined overwhelming gas fumes and darkness. Gas fumes so strong it takes your breath away.
Amir's car sickness=a sign of anxiety we saw when he and his father left Afghanistan the first time (228). Amir gives away his watch; his father gave him one for his birthday, one of his many gifts (238).
Amir wants to prove that his father is not scared of anything and he will do what he believes is the right thing to do. He wants to show that Baba could be hero sometimes and other times he could be a "murderer."
