Final Thoughts

Reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini was a moving novel. To be honest with you, when I first heard that we were reading this novel I had little hope for the book, but my views have changed. After reading this novel, I realized that it was a brilliantly written novel that could appeal to everyday life. The story line deals with events that people our age go through every day. The Kite Runner was a story of friendship, betrayal, relationships, and guilt. Certain aspects of the novel, like friendship for example, really appeal to my senses. Everyone has those friends that they know will be with them through think and thin, just like Amir and Hassan. Just as when Hassan states "For you a thousand times over" (Hosseini, 371) he is basically saying that they will be there for each other until the end of time, we all have that one friend that will always be there for us. Along with the idea of friendship, relationships appeal to our everyday lives. Relationships surround us on all sides. Just as Baba and Amir have to find ways to strengthen their relationships, we need to find ways to strengthen the relationship the surround us. The Kite Runner turned out to be an amazing novel with an remarkable story line that appeals to the everyday life of our generation.
