Anisa Haleem's story about The Kite Runner
« Back to The Book That Changed My Life
Author: Khalid Hosseini
SynopsisTwelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father and resolves to win the local kite-fighting tournament, to prove that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan promises to help him - for he always helps Amir - but this is 1970s Afghanistan and Hassan is merely a low-caste servant who is jeered at in the street, although Amir still feels jealous of his natural courage and the place he holds in his father's heart. But neither of the boys could foresee what would happen to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament, which was to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return, to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.
My Story
The Kite Runner is a fantastic book which i would recommend to confident readers. It was an unforgettable book and made you step into a "fighter's" shoes.
Hosseini's book THE KITE RUNNER is a great and unique book. It is all about the words THERE IS A WAY TO BE GOOD AGAIN, the special and heart-wrenching friendship between Hasan and Amir and always a really kind invitation to get to know Afghanistan a little bit better.
The KITE RUNNER has definitely changed my life - my view to things that have happened in the past - in my own life & in Afghanistan.
