Kite runner chapter 10 & 11

In chapter 11, the author talked about their life in American. In the beginning of chapter 11, Amir says that “Baba liked the idea of America.” On the whole, Baba liked the life in America, although he met some things he did not like. In page 125, He says that “There are only three men in this world, Amir, He’d count them off on his fingers: America the brash savior, Britain, and Israel.” What’s more, he also went in for the president Ronald Reagan. On the other hand, he also had some things he was not satisfied. In page 126, But the Bay Area’s smog stung his eyes, the traffic noise gave him headaches, and the pollen made him cough. The fruit was never sweet enough, the water never clean enough, and where were all the trees and open fields?” “What kind of country is this? No one trusts anybody!”
To me, I am an international student. The real America almost like what I expected. It’s an open and beautiful country. The only thing I am disappointed is the weather here.

  1. Rui, good reflections but you still use too many quotations! Most of the entry should be your own thoughts with just a few direct quotes.
