The biggest misunderstanding of friendship

The kite runner is the first book that I read written in English. During read this book, its scenes always impresses me so much. Such as Hassan always say “for you, a thousand times over”, however, when terrible thing happen to Hassan, Amir was to weak and chose to keep quiet and escape. Such a tragic result is not just because of their personality were different; these kids have already been taught through their inner mind the ‘necessaries’ and ‘non-necessaries’ of their own social status.A Hazara servant has to be completely loyal to his master, whereas a noble Pashto agha should never risk himself for a cheap Hazara servant.
Back to the real world, when they were young, they enjoyed the time spent with each other; those childish conversations, easily made but faithful swears and unforgettable funs shared. However, when facing the cruel realities and challenges, the bridge of friendship could easily collapse as soon as one side gives up.
Therefore, let’s look into the novel, when Amir saw those bad guys bulling and even sexually abusing his ‘best friend’ Hassan, he chose to escape. Meanwhile, for protecting Amir’s kite, Hassan bravely faces Assef, when Assef tells that the relationship between Amir and Hassan is just master and servant, Hassan argues that Amir is his friend. However, it is the truth that their fates are differentiated by those social tags they may never understand, society will force them to accept the positions assigned to them, and they must put on the masks given by society.
Hiding in a corner, timid Amir is not touched or encouraged by Hassan’s words.
This is the biggest misunderstanding of friendship.

The book review of the Kite Runner

This novel mainly tells the story of two children living in the 1970s’ Afghanistan. One is the much more fortunate Amir and another is a Hazard boy called Hassan whose life experience is a tragedy. What’s more, the continuous wars and civil turmoil even worsen the life of Hassan and finally he is struck by a bullet by the Taliban with his beloved wife, only leaving a young boy who becomes an orphan and is abused by the Taliban. However, the loyalty Hassan lasts from the beginning, they are young children when Hassan runs the kites for Amir but not cares about his potential harm done by Assef to the end when Hassan shot by the provocative Taliban during the time that Hassan takes care of Amir’s home when Amir escapes to America, avoiding the harm from the chaos by wars. On the other hand, what Amir does pay back is to tease Hassan when they are young and even wants to drive him away because of envy. Nevertheless, one day, when adult Amir who has already married and happily been leading a happy life in America received a determinant call from Rahim Khan who is not only the business partner of Baba but also a father-like man to Amir and it changes Amir’s life completely. The growth experience during those years, the education of Baba and his kind wife all contribute a new and much mature Amir at last so he makes the decision to follow the wish and suggestion by Rahim Khan and makes up for his faults to some degree, although time passes, nothing can come back, especially for the dead. The complex massive relationships between Amir and Hassan indicate that the loyalty is much more deserved to value.

As a result, I strongly recommend this book to everyone. The theme of the loyalty and chasing for the kindness will absolutely make you deeply moved. The literary strategy is really wonderful because not only does it reflect the theme from beginning to the end but also it does deepen and sublimate the theme. As far as I am concerned, the kite is the symbol of kindness and loyalty so running after it is the way to chase for the nice personality. Besides, another unique feature of this novel is the use of several words of Pashto. It plays a good role in indicating the setting of the story, although it may be confused to read, especially at the beginning. In all, I evaluate it a wonderful work so it deserves everyone to read it.

review of Kite Runner

This story,Kite Runner, is written by Khaled Hoseini about that a man whose name is Amir tried to make up for what he did to his friends, Hassan. This story is located in mainly Afghanistan and this includes the issue of war, religion discrimination by the religious differences. Amir and Hassan are best friends like brother and they always played together. However, one day Amir did something seriously bad to betray Hassan and Amir spend his life for regretting it. Then, he became an adult and he got an opportunity to make up for it. In this story, a competition of kites named Kite Runner is a key thing. The event changed the relationship between Amir and Hassan dramatically when they were young and even after they became adults.
This is a great book because there are a lot of techniques used in order to attract readers. First, he uses foreshadowing from beginning. In addition, by using different language, he succeeds to attract readers attention toward key words. In the content, this story reminded me of my childhood and of how important my friends are. After I read it, the emotion lingered on my heart. Therefore this book is very good.

Literary analysis essay

This is a book about friendship and families. The main character is Amir, a child who came from a rich family of Afghanistan. Another main character is Hassan, the servant of Amir. Amir and Hassan were just like brothers. They played together, talked with each other and so on. On Amir's mind, Hassan was not only his servant, but also his best friend. For Hassan, Amir was not only his friend, but also his master. However,during a kite race, a dire thing happened. Amir was ashamed of himself for his coward. After that, he forced to leave Hassan and then rushed to America.
Several years had pasted and Amir had become an adult with a happiness family. However, he still couldn't forgive himself for betray to Hassan. After he received a call from Afghanistan, he decided to return to Afghanistan and atone for his betray. In Afghanistan,he knew another thing that was shocked him deeply. Then he decided to atone to Hassan in a specific way.
I think this book is really a good book and I really would like everyone to read this book. In this book, you can deeply feel the author's feelings about his father, his friend and his life. And then,after finishing reading this book, the author will apply you a space to think about friendship, life and so on. In this book, you can read a lot of descriptions about the environment and feelings and some of them are really vivid. However, this book has so many difficult words that it is hard for me to read it without a dictionary, even in some parts, I really can hardly understand its meaning.
I really loved this book since it told me how to treat my friends and how to communicate with your friends. The most essential part is what is the true friendship.

Book Review

Childhood, Afghanistan. He and Hassan who is a son of servant, they were together and together all the childhood time. As the writer says in the book “When we were children, Hassan and I used to climb the poplar trees in the driveway of my father’s house and annoy our neighbors by reflecting sunlight into their homes with a shard of mirror. We would sit across from each other on a pair of high branches, our naked feet dangling, our trouser pockets filled with dried mulberries and walnuts. We took turns with the mirror as we ate mulberries, pelted each other with them, giggling, laughing….” They always fly the kite together. However, Hassan is the runner for pick the kite back every time when they won the game. And this becomes a pain in Amir’s heart, forever. When Hassan went for catch the blue kite back for Amir, meantime in order to protect Amir’s kite, he suffered sodomy, but Amir watched all the thing happened and he run away instead of step forward. The worse thing Amir did was trumped-up the missing watch to set Hassan up. Turns out, they do not have a good relationship like before any more. Time moved on, Amir moved to the United States, but the guilty full of his deep heart duo to Hassan, and later he was aware of the family’s secret that Hassan is his half-brother. In order to get back ‘once again become a good way’ Amir back to Afghanistan, while Hassan is dead, after a tons of difficulties and dangers, Amir rescued the only son of Hassan, Sohrab, back to the United States. Amir fly kites with Sohrab to warm the lonely child, meantime he seemed to have heard of ‘for you, thousands of times!’ in the back. He saw Sohrab’s lips smile, and he really began to aware salvation…
I start to read to this book for home assignment, I mere get through this book in couple of days, nevertheless, I couldn’t put it down once I started and I was totally absorbed in the setting of this book. And I will definitely spend time to plough through it again later. It is such a wonderful book. It is so hard to depict friendship, servant hood, and brotherhood at the same time, but Hosseini did it successfully!

The Kite Runner

The story told about the complicate relationship between Amir and Hassan. One is a Pashtun, one is a Hazare. One is a selfish master, one is loyal servant. One is brave ,and one is not vilolent. These differences give birth to the different life. Amir was born in a rich family, when he was a children, he spent a happy childhood with his servant Hassan, it seems they are friends, or like brothers. It is obviously that Hassan regards Amir as a good friend definitely, never tell lie to Amir, sacrifices himself for Amir. But in little Amir’s mind, he treated Hassan as a servant more than a friends. Ever thing became changed after the kite tournament, in order to protect Amir’s kite, Hassan was hurt deeply. But Amir he chose pretended not to see,for he want to protect himself and get his father’s praise. For his conscience, he told lie to his father that Hassan stolen his watch. As a loyal servant, knowing amir against himself, Hassan still choice to protect Amir at last time. Since then, Amir’s inner blame was weight. After the war in Afghanistan, he moved to the United States with his father, for Amir, everything is a new start. College, a father's illness, death, married... he tried to forget past, tried to drive his inner shadow, amir and have a normal life. But a Khan’s call make everthing changed again, he asked Amir to come back to Pakistan for Hassan’s son. Khan told him a a big secret, Hassan was his borther. Rahim khan said "once again become good way to find sola Amir. Amir once cowardly and selfish, but these years have been suffering from his conscience, this time, he chose the brave, chose the brave self-salvation.

I like this book. Hassan always said "for you, a thousand times over," bur Amir chose to ignore, such a tragic results not only is caused by the individual differences in these young and the children had been instilled the subconscious and corresponding to their social status "should" and "should not", a hazara servant should fight, but noble master is not worth to take any risks for a hazara servant. It is unfair.People can not adviod his human weakness, what’s the most important things is beat it. Amir came over it and make up his mistake in the end. It is what I learned from the book.

'The Kite Runner' Review

‘The Kite Runner’ is a story about two childhood friends in Kabul who appeared at first to come from two complete different backgrounds. Little did they know that they had more in common than just their love for kite running. Amir is the son of Baba, a well-respected businessman, and Hassan is a Hazara, the son of Baba’s servant. Baba cared for both boys but Amir always felt jealous about the way Baba paid attention to Hassan. This jealousy and envy is the base of all the events to come in the story. Rahim Kahn is a business associate of Baba’s and has a soft spot for Amir and is more of a loving father figure than is biological one. Amir witnesses Hassan get raped in an alley by the local bully and does nothing about it. This haunts him for years to come, he avoids facing his sins and instead he keeps running away from them. Shortly after that incident he frames Hassan for being a thief and he leaves. Later the Russians invade Pakistan and Baba and Amir flee to America. He carries the burden of what he did to his loyal friend in his heart and mind right into adulthood. He marries a woman by the name of Soraya, but is unable to share the entire truth of his being with her. When Baba passes away he comes to the realization that even those we admire have secrets and bare shameful burdens. This motivates him to face his reality and return to Afganistan to seek closure on the events that haunt his conscious. Upon return he uncovers lifelong secrets and gives back for his past wrong doings. He finally acquires the closure he so truly needed and eventually gets the happiness, fulfillment and peace he longed for.

I would recommend this book because it is a touching, meaningful story which encompasses a real situation which is occurring in the world. It gives insight into the trauma and tragedy of the innocent people in Afghanistan. The storyline also includes a good moral lesson, which can really be taken to heart by the reader. The reader can see how easily friendships can be broken but how difficult it is to put them together again. At times the text is not very clear and concise with what the author is trying to say. Confusion can occur when there are phrases in a foreign language.

Review for Kite Runner

In the beginning of Kite Runner, the call from Rahim Khan recalled the days of the author Khaled Hosseini’s childhood in Afghanistan. Amir was the son of a rich family in the capital city Kabul of Afghanistan. His Baba was a successful businessman who had a good reputation and prestige. Hassan, a servant and friend to Amir, was a brave and loyal person. He used to stand up for Amir and regard Amir as his best friend. Comparing with Hassan, Amir was so cowardly and selfish. One important plot in this book is the Kite competition. When Amir saw Hassan was hit by Assef, he did nothing. When Russian invaded Afghanistan, Amir and BaBa escaped to United States. They had a different life in America and worked hard for their new life. Amir loved writing the fiction in America. He built a new family with his wife Saraya who is also from Afghanistan. Amir has changed a lot and begun to think about others. After he talked with Rahim Khan, he thinks about that he will go to save Hassan’s son to make up for Hassan.

This is a great book for me. From this book, I felt a lot about the friendship and how to be a good friend. When I read every chapter, I would expect what will happen in the future. In addition, I learned how to be brave and responsible man like Baba and adult Amir. To sum up, this is worthy to read. It will help the readers to know much about your life.

Kite Runner review

I found the novel kite runner very interesting. From the moment i started reading it i could bearley put it down. The kite runner was set in two countries; Afghanistan and the United States. The begining of the novel takes place in Afghanistan where Amir lived with his father Baba and there servants Hassan and his father Ali. At the begining Amir and Hassan are shown as inseparable but as the novel goes along amir does not stand up for hassan as much as hassan stands up for him. Later in the novel, Amir and Baba move to the US and Amir thinks that this will help him get over his guilt. While he is in America Baba passes away, and Amir is forced to be independent. Baba's long time friend Rahim falls ill and calls Amir back to Afghanistan, this phone call brings back the guilt that Amir had been hiding inside him. He is forced to go back to Aghanistan to see Rahim. When he meets Rahim, he reminds him of his sins and his fathers sins too and assures him that it is not too late to change. Amir finds out the devasting news about Hassan and he is forced to look for Hassans son; Sohrab who he finds in the care of Assef. Amir is now forced to stand up for Sohrab who was assulted while in the care of Assef. Amir and Assef fight and they both get what they deserved. Sohrab is now in the care of Amir and although he tries to commit suicide and doesnt talk to Amir for a whole year even after taking him to America.

I think that this is a wonderful novel and should be read by everone! it is amazing to see how precious life is, and how family and friendship bonds are forever no matter what. This is a wonderful novel and i truly enjoyed reading it. I reccommend it and everyone should get a copy at some point in their lives. It truly teaches one a lot.

Literary Analysis of the Kite Runner

“This is one of those unforgettable stories that stays with you for years.” (Isabel Allende). After I read this unforgettable story I was lost in my thought…

The first chapter is started with a call from Rahim Khan, who is one of the main characters in this Kite Runner. When Amir picked up Rahim’s call, he hesitated for a long time: whether he should come back to Pakistan, where has tons of memory of Amir’s childhood, or not. Amir and Hassan grew up together, and they experienced numerous things such as sharing Amir’s story, flying kites or fighting against Assef who did some bad behavior to Hassan. Actually, Amir was not a 100 percent bad person---he was selfish, superficial and coward, but in the later years he changed a little bit , for example, at last he decided to go back to Pakistan and took care of Hassan’s son. Hassan is the person who treated Amir as a fantastic master and friend--- he obeyed to Amir no matter what Amir said. In the opposite, Amir just looked him as a slave almost all the time--- he was full of jealous when Baba showed his love to Hassan. In the end of the story, both Amir and Assef got what they deserved, which pointed to that Amir suffered with his bad behavior to Hassan and Assef lost one of his eyes.

This powerful book, Kite Runner, makes me think about many characteristics which we need to be a good person. In addition, it helps me develop a standard about how to evaluate a person. Also, marvelous description about the changes of Amir gives me an imagination of his future life… All in all, I value this book a lot, which made me lost in my thoughts about how to be a good person as best as I can for several times.

Literary(critical) Analysis of the Kite Runner

The Kite Runner Analysis
The kite runner is a fascinating book in various perspectives. The writer’s style of intertwining reality with fiction is unique. As much as he addresses the story of two boys Amir and Hassan he still addresses the current political state in Afghanistan and how it came about. He also deals with the social issues affecting Afghanistan such as the prejudice towards the Hazara.
The Writer introduces as to Amir in the beginning worried about some happening, which we are not aware of. As the book continues he introduces as to Baba, and his wealth. He however portrays Baba as such a good man regardless of the fact that later on his sin would be revealed. It is this picture of Baba that causes Amir to really want to win his love, therefore after winning the kite competition Amir is willing to let Hassan get assaulted in order to keep the kite. This then reveals to the reader, the sin that he was worried about while also highlighting the title of the book the kite runner.
After highlighting the sin of Amir the writer then writes about his redemption. Five years later, the Russians invade Afghanistan; Amir and Baba escape to Peshawar Pakistan and then to Fremont, California. It is while in America that Amir becomes more independent. He becomes a well established writer and even gets married to sohrab. This independence also comes due to the fact that Baba dies while they are in America. The writer later brings about the first phone call Amir had at the beginning of the book and it is Rahim Khan calling him back to Afghan the writer uses this also as a way of taking as back to Afghan and show us the political situation there after dwelling on America for a while. The situation is bad. It is while in Afghanistan that Amir atones his sin by finding sohrab Hassan’s son an act that was not easy as he had to fight Assef. His past catches up with him and this time he does the wise thing and stands up for Sohrab. He has a hard time trying to get Sohrab adopted and when he tells sohrab that he might have to take him to an orphanage, sohrab attempts suicide.

The book is very captivating with great twists that keep you hooked. I think this is a classic piece of writing. The only negative thing is the writer depicts some scenes which may not be very pleasing,but all in all he uses this for a good cause.

The process of reading “The Kite Runner” is a pretty exciting experience, it made me indulge in the plot and. I was following along with Amir, and recognize a culture, a family with complex relationship and also included the remedy mistakes from Amir. I was deeply moved by this story. No matter what you did in the past, so long as you can remedy your mistakes, you will be condoned. So this is a lively and readable literary work.

The kite runner chapter 22-23

Amri‘s words were exactly right，they all got something. As for Assef,he lost his left eyes. When they was young, Assef and Amri hurt Hassan,and now both of them are hurt, Assef lost his left eyes and Amri was badly hurt, this is punishment for them. Maybe it is a make-up pain for Hassan. so it is fair for both of them to suffer from this fight and got what they should get.

There are two fights between Amri and Assef, the first was when they was young.There is some similar in these two fights. Amri was rescued by Hassan in the first and was rescued by Hassan's son in many years later, even Amri hurt Hassan. I think Amri got Sohrab,which was also what he wanted to got.Sohrab's help and his trust is the key of the story.

Assignment for Kite Runner Chapter 22-23

I agree with Amir's words and both he and Assef got what they deserved. First of all,because of his fault,Assef lost his left eyes . And then,Amir did so many mistakes on Hassan,at last,he didn't meet Hassan after he left his hometown. As a result,he lost his best friend in his life.

Amir and Assef

I agree with the statement Amir said. I think it’s fair for both, for Amir and Assef to get what they deserved, we can see when Amir's said "we both got what we deserved".
Assef was a bad friend for Amir and Hassan because he used to intimidate Amir and Hassan. And now he got what he needs and he lost one of his eyes.
Amir is feeling guilty but can not turn the time back; he suffered a lot about what he did to Hassan.

Amir's words

In chapter 23, Amir said he and Assef both got what they deserved when Farid asked about the situation of that day. To be quite frank, I believe his words mean that he and Assef's hurts are both due to their guilty actions. They got punishment because of their guilt.
I still remember years ago, how Amir was eager to be beaten or cursed by Hassan for his selfish and cowardly action. He probably considered this as a way of redeeming himself. He feel guilty year after year. At this time, he got what he wanted finally---he was hurt because of someone related to Hassan at least. That's why he said he deserved it.
Meanwhile, Assef lost his left eye which he might had lost years ago due to his savage action. Hassan didn't do it that time, but his son made it at last. Assef did deserve it as an outrage person we all hate in this novel.

Amir & Assef

I do agree with the statement Amir said. They did get what they both deserved in that house that day.
For years Amir held the guilt inside for his actions in the alley. Assef was the person who inflicted the assault on Hassan and Amir was susposed to be his friend and stood by and watched when it happened to him.
When Amir was attacked he felt like he deserved it because of the sins he had committed. For the first time in his life he put his own fear aside and walked into the Talib's house and confronts his own demons. As Amir was being attacked we see he laughed. He felt a strange sort of inner peace through the beating. He in way a way accepted it as a form of punishment and finally settled his conscience that haunted him for so many years.
When Sohrab shot shot the brass ball into Assef's eye, it was just what he deserved. For all the sins he committed, especially for assaulting hassan.

Kite Runner

I agree with Amir's words that both he and Assef got what they deserved. As for Amir, he treated Hasson bad before so he saved Hasson's only son as a way to make up. Amir was laughing even when he was beated by Assef because he thought saving Sohrad deserved for him to be hurted and it could made him felt less guilty. As for Assef, he wanted to revenge to Amir and this time he could do what he wanted. He kicked, punched, scratched Amir and made him badly hurt. At last, he lost one eye by Sohrad's slingshot. This was what he should paid for the bad action he had done. Both of them got punishment of what they've done before.

Amir's Response .........................

When Amir leaves Assef's house ,and Farid asks what happened Amir's response,"we both got what we deserved" encompasses the past the present and the future. By saying that they both got what they deserve Amir means that Justice finally served its cause. Amir should have stood up for Hasssan at the alley before Assef assaulted him.This being the case, he did not and so, he saved himself the assault that Hassan got for his own sake.This is the past that this statement is in owe of. Also in the same past Hassan had told Assef that he would make him a one eyed Assef had he dared to touch Amir. This past was finally settled in the present when Sohrab finally plunged the marble into Assef's eye after he assaulted Amir.The future this sentence implies is that finally Amir would not have to worry about his past as he had atoned for his sins.

The Kite Runner Chapters 22-23

"What we deserve" Has three means. First, for Amir, it means he received punishment from Assef instead of Hassan. "What was so funny was that,..., I'd been looking forward to this. ... Healed at last."(p.289)
Second, for Assef, he also received punishment from Sohrab for what he did toward Hassan and Sohrab.
Finally, they tried to end their battle. Assef said on page 42-43, "This doesn't end today, believe me. This isn't the end for you either, Amir. Someday, I'll make you face me one on one." They did what Assef said.
I agree with him because got satisfied, he healed from that and, as a result, he could saved Sohrab, and Amir was alive.

Amir and Assef

After reading chapter 22 and 24, the sentense Amir said is meaningful. "Let's just say we both got what we deserved."He said. Both Amire and Assef got what they should get from their past action.
For Amir, he came there to save his nephew, because he did so much sin to Hassan. When he overcame his character of recreance, he realized his sin for Hassan. He wanted to make up for Hassan. He was at a risk to go there to save Hassan's son and bring him back to America. He paid what he should pay.
For Assef, he used to bully Amir and Hassan. He attended the Talib. He did so much sin. At last, he got blind. That's he should get. He got a bad result from he did in the past.

Kite Runner Chapter 22-23

"Let's just say we both got what we deserved."---Amir must have a complicated, sad and regretful emotion when he said that. After several years later either Assef or Amir was punished by what they had done wrong before--- that means Amir suffered a lot about what he did to Hassan and Assef lost one of his eyes.

After I read chapter 23, I totally agree what Amir said that they got what they deserved. He felt sorry for Hassan, because he treated Hassan really as a slave even though Hassan was his brother. Also sometimes Amir had jealous about Hassan, and he did not do anything when he had seen Assef hurting Hassan. All these things Amir did to Hassan make him get what he deserve now. Refer to Farid, he did numerous bad things before which makes him “slingshot by the brass ball” (Yan Chapter 22-23 poster). His lost eye is the best reward of what he did before.

All in all, it is fair for both Amir and Assef to get what they deserved. What’s more, the result should make me think about something---good people will get good reward, at least good people do not need to suffer emotional dilemmas.

Chapter22-23

In my opinion, what Amir says means that Assef and he both got what they are supposed to get so I do agree with what Amir says.
For Amir, he has successfully god rid of his coward character and finished the wish by Rahim Khan-taking Hassan’s son safely to a better place. Besides, his behavior also makes up for the sins he did to Hassan in the past to some degree and a way to thank him for his loyalty so that he can get relieved and does not be blamed and feel anxiety for his faults along with his whole life. In addition, Sohrab is his own nephew, the only living kin who has blood relationship in the world after all. Moreover, the injury compared with Hassan gets is not severe but still a kind of punishment.
On the other hand, for Assef, it is absolutely a good lesson for him that he must not bully others all the time. Whoever does evil things will have a bad result. What’s more, it is rather an ending for Amir and Assef’s enmity than a revenge by Assef because he still takes the thing that Hassan and Amir once were rude to him to heart so Assef wants to abuse Amir to make him realize that whoever goes against him will get suffered.

Amir's response

I totally agree with Amir, his words were so justified. Amir wanted the boy and then he took Sohrab. He was responsible for his sin by being punched. He was laughing even it hurts because Amir thought he deserved it. One-eyed Assef has been hurt by the same situation, a Hazard tried to protect Amir. And these two Hazards were father and son. This was the result for Assef whom was hurting the most important person for nonresistance Hazards. Now Assef is blind because he own it.

Tiantian's Homework

On the page 298, Amir said to Fraid that we both got what we deserved. It means that both Amir and Assef got what they want. Amir went to Assef’s house in order to save Hassan’s son, because he want to atone expiate at the same time. For Assef, he hated Amir, but he couldn’t hurt Amir at that time, so he hurt Hassan and Hassan’s son to make he feel comfortable.
However, I don’t agree that both of them got what they deserved. Undoubtedly, Amir got he want because he saved Hassan’s son, but it doesn’t means that Assef got what he wanted. He is an unreasonable person and he want to revenge Amir more than what he did. So I could predict that he will do others thing to Amir for retaliate.

Kite Runner

I think Amir’s meaning by this response is just like he said that he and Assef did some bad thing in the past, now they got their punishments.
I agree with that they all got they deserved. For Amir, in the past, he did not protect Hassan because he was cowardly and he wanted to sacrifice Hassan to got Baba’s attention. This time he protect Hassan’s son and was injured. This is Amir’s castigate. For Assef, he did something really bad for Hassan and now he also insulted Sohrab. Now, Assef lost his one eye by Sohrab. He also got what he deserved.

The response of Amir

Amir response Farid like that means that he think the ending for him or for Assef is what they should get. He think that they both are sinner.
And I agree with what Amir said. In his mind,what he deserved is to pay back what he haven't done. But Hassan's death brought away the chance. What happened in the house made him faced what he have ran away when he was young. He think this is what he should deserved. Maybe it's a kind of way to expiate his sins.

To Assef, he is really a sinner. The ending is what he should get. What goes around, comes around. He really got what he deserved.

Response

If you keep reading the dialogue on P299, talking between Farid and Amir shows the answers for the questions above. Yes, finally, Assef, Amir, they got retributions that they should deserve, I think.

From previous chapter we can recall the bad things that Amir has done to Hassan, and Assef. And now, Amir trying to rescue Soharb by fighting with Assef, and from the fighting he got hurt badly. Also, Assef was injured by slingshot from Soharb, because Soharb was so angry with what Assef did to him. So, let just say they both got retributions physically, but, here Amir not merely mean physical retributions, I think he also want to say something that spiritual, because he starts repent what he did wrong to reparation.

Kite Runner

I agree with the response of they were both deserved. They all got the punishment deserve, Amir was thrown the wall and shattering him his body brutally, and Assef was slingshot by the brass ball. As for Amir, when he was a child, he tried to irritate Hassan and thrown with pomegranates, however, Hassan was still sanding there with no any action and responses. And then Hassan taken the pomegranate form Amir’s hand, triturated it against his forehead, he said, “Are you satisfied now?” At that time, Amir was healed, because he was fighting by Assef, in order to save Sohrab, Hassan;s sole son. As for Assef, he was hit by Sohrab on his eyes. He was indecency against Sohrab in the past. So it is say that they were all deserved and evil action will bring retribution in the future.

Assef and Amir get what they deserve

I totally agree that Amir and Assef got what they deserved. In the previous chapters one can tell that Amir was begging for someone to do something abd to him so that he can feel less guilty and this way he did get what he deserved and so did Assef. Amir does not complain because deep down inside that is what he needed and he got exactly that. And Assef to, for all that he did in the past, he truly deserved what he got.

Amir and assef get what hey deserve.

Yes. I Totally Agree With Amir when he says "we both got we deserved". The reason is because amir's words had some truth in them. In Amir's case, he Finally got the peace that he was craving for (page 289) that he was actually laughing even though he was getting beat and extremely injured. On Assef's case, he got what he deserved by losing another eye to sohrabs slingshot (page 291).

The Kite Runner Chapters 22-23

On page 298, Farid asks Amir, "What happened in that house? What happened between you and the Talib?" Amir's response is, "Let's just say we both got what we deserved."

What do you think he means by this response? Do you agree that he and Assef both got what they deserved? Why or why not?

In the past, there are not so many beggars, now there are most children beggars and squatted at the street corner.
Jadeh Maywand used to have shops and hotels, Neon lights and restaurants, and Amir used to go there to buy kites form an old man named Saifo by the police headquarters, now the police quarters are still there, and no shortage of police in the city, but there were not any kites shops any more. Entire blocks had been obliterated to rubble.
