The Kite Runner

Amir and his dad take a trip to Pakistan.  On their way there, Amir gets sick.  He worries that he might be embarrassing Baba.  They continue on the road trip as they arrive at a checkpoint.  The Russian Guard agrees to let them pass only if they let him have sex with a beautiful woman on the car with Baba and Amir.  Baba is a gentleman so he refuses to have this woman get rapped.  The guard gets so mad that he wants to shoot Baba but another guard intervenes.  
            As they get to their destination, they spend several weeks in a baseman with other refugees.  Amir recognizes a familiar face.  It was Kamal, the boy that had rapped Hassan.  Kamal looked weak and did not speak.  Kamal’s father told Baba that he was caught by some guards and had gotten rapped.  It is so ironic that he gets rapped after he had rapped Amir’s servant.

  1. Baba was a person that didn’t like that other people take advantage of other people because of their power.
