The Kite Runner

In Afghanistan, they have a big kite competition.  It is the time where everyone comes together and flights the kites they have been working on for the whole year.   Amir and Hassan are always a team.  Early in the year they buy the supplies needed to make the kite using their yearly savings.  As always Amir is the kite flyer and Hassan the Kite Runner.  

            “But Hassan was by far the greatest kite runner I’d ever seen” Hosseini52

Hassan had a special talent for kite runner.  He knew in advance where the kite would land.  He always followed his gut.

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner takes place in Afghanistan.  It is the story of two kids who neither have a mother.  Amir is the son of a well known and respected gentleman.  Hassan is Amir’s servant but the family treats him and his father as part of the family.  The two kids always played together but Amir never had called Hassan his friend. 

            “But he is not my friend! I almost blurted.  He’s my servant!” Hosseini41.

To me this quote really says a lot about Amir.  He only plays with Hassan when he has no one to play with.  He is a spoil kid who just thinks about himself.
