One of my favorite books is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner revolves around the life of a young boy named Amir. It describes the different relationships between Amir and the people in his life, such as his father, Baba and his childhood friend, Hassan. It shows the struggle of different ethnicity and cultural differences. This is my favorite book for several reasons. To begin with, it shows how religion and ethnicity should not matter when two people are forming a friendship. Amir is a Pashtun Muslim and comes from a wealthy family, while Hassan is a Hazara Muslim and financially struggles. Hassan's father is their servant, which makes it even harder for the two to maintain a normal friendship. However, their relationship takes a turn of many unfortunate events, such as jealousy, lies, and death. I feel that their friendship shows the conflict of how superficial things such as money, class, and certain beliefs determine if two human beings could be friends or not. Second, the diction and sentence structure used by the author made it simple to read. I understood it easily, and it kept me interested. I always wanted to continue reading.
I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in an emotion filled novel that will really captivate the reader and make them feel sympathy towards the character's struggles that they have to face everyday. It will create an opportunity for the reader to get in touch with their feelings and appreciate what they have in their life as opposed to what they do not.
The Kite Runner is an astonishing novel that discusses the life of those living in Afghanistan during the late 1900s. Being one of my favorite books, it inspires me to stay strong even through the bleakest situations. I would not mind rereading this novel. Anyone who starts reading The Kite Runner will not be able to put the book down. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe Kite Runner is a great book. It is one of my favorite books as well. Reading about Amir backstabbing Hassan the way he did is insane. It's truly a book that is nearly impossible to put down. I would reread this novel in a heartbeat. Since you like The Kite Runner I recommend you read A Thousand Splendid Suns, both books are by the same author and both are great.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I do not share the same amount of passion and interest as you do for The Kite Runner. Although it is a greatly written novel that discusses extremely important historical events, it lacks an amusing ending. In my opinion no form of closure was formally presented to the audience.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice on picking The Kite Runner. Your passion for the novel would make anybody want to flip through the pages and read it for themselves. Although all was good, if you focused more what others would have enjoyed more than why you enjoyed it, it would have been better considering you are trying to persuade potential readers. Great job, though, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteYour descriptions about all of the reasons you enjoyed reading the novel were great, because they were some of my favorite reasons as well. Seeing that a book that had such an impact on the way I viewed life had an impact on someone else’s life too, made me realize that it is easy to relate our lives to the lives of others.
ReplyDeleteThe Kite Runner is an astounding novel and almost everyone that has read it would agree. The affection you have for the novel itself clearly shows in your post. The descriptions and reasons why it is one of your favorite books are very detailed and passionate. It is truly a book that will make you stop and think to yourself for a while. The book is very well written and intense, you never want to put it down. I respect the way that you described the book and truly enjoyed your post, very persuasive to potential readers.
