Kite Runner 1

So this first part of Kite Runner just keeps getting more exciting every time I read more of it. It starts almost mischevious, and the issues keep escalating. The Novel is written by Khlaed Hosseini  in which it is told by the life of a young Afghan boy from the mid-1970's.  In Amir's lifetime  he is morally tested in his relationship with Hassan.  This gets even more tense when Hassan gets raped by Assef, a boy in Amir’s neighborhood influenced by Hitler and has ALOT of mental issues. Amir uses his higher position to abuse Hassan not fully understanding the effect. This story in the first part displays friendship, loyalty, betrayal and on going suffering.  Amir has to deal with a truamatizing past  and how that past  shaped who he became. His growing sepreation from Hassan later in the story of his life and their friendship tears a huge hole in his family. At times, his father Baba got highly annoying and this is kind of what lead to Amir's down and sad thoughts. To be honest he never seemed to fit and Hassan was like his brother even if he was a family servant. The guilt for that betrayal, as well as Amir's troubled relationship with his father Baba, will torment his life for the next 20 years. Hassan becomes extremely remote, and his household duties become quiet and avoid Amir entirely.Both these boys are frequently harassed but later Hassan and his father leave because they find about Hassan being raped.  Baba is torn apart by this. This being chapter of Amir’s life may seem very depressing and crazy. But wait till you hear what happens next. Events in this book will haunt you. Which you will never ever forget.Kite Runner details the corupt political developments in Afghanistan. But it's barely even started yet..
