2nd Chunk of Kite Runner Complete, Thoughts

              In the first section of the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER book The Kite Runner, by KHALED HOSSEINI, Amir and Hassan were doing fine living together and playing around, but they started to fall apart after Hassan's assault from Assef and later one of them ends up leaving. The first section leaves Amir and   Baba living together but then, leaving to America.
              In the second section of the three chunks in the book The Kite Runner, many strange things have occurred and new conflicts have rose to even further develop the plot and storyline of the book. The main characters remain the family in Amir's house in Afghanistan. The people living in that house were "either dieing or dead" quoted Amir when he was discussing with Rahim Khan. Amir is the lucky one. He survives because he only cares about his own life. In the first section of the book, he would frame Hassan for stealing his birthday presents and get them sent away because he was guilty of not helping Hassan when he was in trouble. In this section of the book, Amir is asked by Rahim Khan to go pick up Sohrab, Hassan's offspring but amir refuses even when Rahim says that's a wish he would like granted before his death. Amir thought about how it would affect his life before anything else. He says, "I don't want to go to Kabul. I can't!" (pg220)
              I enjoy this book because more events rise out of nowhere. When Amir left to America he met Soraya. When he talks to Rahim, he has to get Sohrab and discovers his missing brother.The book constantly introduces new events and conflicts that continues to deepen my understanding of the characters such as Amir and his maturity. Amir starts to lessen his selfishness when shown after hearing about Wahid's poverty, he leaves them money. The second part of the book starts to kill off the characters. Rahim Khan is sick and suffering and Baba has died after not accepting help. Hassan and Farzana are gone, but the book introduces new characters that replace the old ones.
              Guilt is another part of Amir's decisions because after Rahim Khan tells Amir of Hassan's real mother and father, Amir regrets the time he disrespected him and didn't help him. Hassan's family wasn't clearly explained until the relationship between Baba and Hassan was told.
               The Kite Runner continues to bring in new conflicts which allows it to intensify the ending as it approaches.
