Questions related to The Kite Runner- Chapter # 6&7

1. What do you think you would have done if had you been in Amir's place when he saw Hassan being attacked by Assef and his gang? Would you have had the same reaction? Why or why not?
* When I read that Amir ran away, I got angry and worry about what had done to Hassan. But, I did not put myself in Amir's place. After a deep thinking, I find this decision is very difficult decision to make by Amir. But if I were him, I will not betrayed a person who did a lot for me because even if I ran away, the feelings of guilty will chase me forever.

Questions related to The Kite Runner- Chapter # 4&5

1. How do you feel about the fact that neither Baba nor Amir consider Ali and Hassan to be their friends?
* I feel sorry and ashamed because this phenomenon is not just in the story, it is our reality and for me I noticed this action a lot in my society. People see others who are from a low class like they are nothing, and treat them differently. They forget that those low class people are humans and have their own dignity  just like them. They do not bother themselves to feel or understand the pain and the suffer that those low class people face.

Questions related to The Kite Runner

1. Which character do you like the most at this point? Why?
* I really liked the character of Hassan's father. He suffered a lot in his life, still he didn't show his pain to others and he controlled his emotions and his anger. I think he would sacrifice of anything to make others happy and pleased.

2. What has been surprising or interesting you about the story so far?
* The most surprising thing was Hassan's mother. I felt very sad while I was reading this part of his mother. Her actions stuck in my head till now, she has no mercy or emotions towards her first child, which is Hassan.
