The Kite Runner

The Story jumps in time to modern day.  Amir and his dad moved to the United States because the situation in Pakistan was getting out of control.  They bought a new house in Fremont California but his dad had a hard time adjusting to American life style.  As Amir finishes high school, he enrolls in college.  Amir wants to major in Writing because he hopes to be a great writer.  His dad disapproves his decision because he thinks that writing will take him no where.  Finally his dad approves and Amir goes on to achieve his dream.  In the summer Amir and his dad had a booth where they sold stuff they had previously bought at garage sales.  They hope to make profit out of it.  In the flea market, Amir gets lucky and meets a beautiful woman.  Her name is Soroya.  They make eye contact and the story gives a turn.  

I like these chapters because after all the things Amir has gone through, it’s nice that he meets a special person.  I also think that Amir is trying to overcome all the obstacles and become someone in life.  He is putting a lot of effort into school which I think is great because he gets to have a bright future.  I don’t understand why he didn’t bring Hassan and his dad to the U.S.  They have been together for a long time; it just doesn’t seem nice to leave them in Pakistan where things are getting ugly.
