- Why read The Kite Runner?Well for one reason, it is just beautiful.It will make you cry. Trust me on that, and it will make you fall in love with Hassan.Reflecting on Amir's thought, “Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay, to win Baba. Sohrab’s eyes flicked to me. They were slaughter sheep’s eyes. They even had the mascara—I remember how, on the day of Eid of Qorban, the mullah in our backyard used to apply mascara to the eyes of the sheep and feed it a cube of sugar before slicing its throat.” (Pg. 11)
- A similar metaphor is used to describe Hassan when he was about to be raped by Assef. This novel has many eye- opening situations that keep you gripped to the very end. “Why do you think Amir never played with you in public?” (Pg. 10) Neighborhood bullies always told Hassan this when they saw him on the streets. They loved getting under his skin, but they did not realize Hassan was not an easy target. “The Kite Runner" opened my eyes to many enlightening things about Afghanistan. Reading this book can help others as much as it helped me, I increase my knowledge of Afghanistan's war, politics, and living conditions. This novel has many eye- opening situations that keep you gripped to the very end.
- An example of logos in The Kite Runner is Assef’s logic behind the Hazaras' ethnic cleansing. His logic was that they did not belong with the rest. The killing proved he was a true sociopath and madman.“The sound of my ribs snapping like the tree branches Hassan and I used to break to swordfight like Sinbad in those old movies.” (Pg. 39) I cannot help but remember the last part of Rick Mercer’s Rant video, (1:55), “Why are we becoming increasingly dumb”. In history why do we always betray our friends, for example Benedict Arnold, an American general betrayed his country for England and weakened the front lines for enemy troops. This quote also shows allusion to Sinbad the Sailor, a heroic character in one of the stories in Arabian Nights from the “Persian One Thousand and One Nights”; many movies were made about the character in the 1900s.
