The Kite Runner is about a boy name Amir he is a Pashtun very rich and intelligent he is also a writer. He is friends with Hassan who is a Hazara, he is poor and doesn't know how to read or write he has a cleft lip and his mom left the dad when he was small .He is the son of Amirs dad's servant Ali. Amir is a boy who grows up with out the love of his dad and the blame of him killing his mom when she gave birth to him. Through out his life he grew up wit Hassan but most of the time he felt jealous of him because his dad always admire Hassan for being brave and never giving up. Later on after Amir won the tournament Hassan gets raped by Assef a bully, also a Pashtun, Amir watched everything and didn't do anything. After, Amir feels really guilty and decides not to talk to Hassan no more. Hassan later tells his dad, Ali, everything that happen that day of the tournament and Ali decides to leave with his son and Baba doesn't understand why. He tried to convince Ali and Hassan to stay but they still leave. Later the Russians come to Afghanistan and Baba and Amir have to leave to America. Life is really hard for them but they still manage to live over there. Amir meets this girl who he falls in love with and is now engage with her.

My favorite character was Hassan, he is the best friend anyone will like to have. He is a lil boy who has a big heart to forgive Amir after everything that happen. Hassan was just an innocent lil boy who all he wanted was for Amir to showed him he cared and one day called him his friend. Amir just makes me so mad, but this book is so good that confuses me because he also had many reasons to act that way and all he wanted was his dads love. And it wasn't his fault that his dad will always act like he was nothing like he wanted him to be like Hassan.

We are still not done wit the book but I hope it has a good ending. (-:
