The kite runner.

I. Write at least 3 – 4 sentences about the plot
a. What was the story about?
It is about a kid named Amir, who struggles to find his place in the world because of the aftereffects and fallout from a series of traumatic childhood events.
b. Who were the main characters?
Amir, Hassan, Baba, Ali.
c. What did the main character do in this story?
Amir - A sensitive and intelligent son of a well-to-do businessman in Kabul, and he grows up with a sense of entitlement. His best friend is Hassan, and he goes back and forth between acting as a loyal friend and attacking Hassan out of jealousy whenever Hassan receives Amir’s father’s affection.
d. Did the main characters run into any problem?
The activity of kite fighting is violent by nature. The kites battle and so too do the children flying them. The string, which is covered in ground glass, carves deep gashes into the fliers' hands as they try to cut each other down, and once kites fall out of the sky, the kite runners retrieve them with the same furious determination as, say, a hunting dog does a slain bird. In its violence, kite fighting represents the conflicts that rage Afghanistan nearly throughout the course of the novel. When Hosseini paints us a picture of hundreds of kites trying haphazardly and with great determination to cut each other down, he shows us also the warring factions of Afghanistan overthrowing one another.

No.

Farid! The Afghan man who drived Amir from Peshawar to Kabul and ended up helping him though the whole journey and even got injured by fighting against the Soviets and is fiercely proud of his loyalty to Afghanistan. Ad taking Amir to a hospital in Pakistan.

III. Your opinion
a. Did you like the book?
Yes! i loved the novel, but at a point I felt sad at the first chapter where the narrator (Amir) discusses about his childhood, it made me understand his life, and his growth from childhood to manhood.
