My Favorite Book

I have read many books throughout my school years. Out of all those books my favorite one was the Kite Runner. The narrator, Amir remembers an event that happened twenty-six years before. He was still a boy in Afghanistan. Before that event he had a very nice home in Kabul with his father. They had two servants. Ali and his son Hassan. Amir and Hassan were best friends. Everything in Amir's life was perfect, until Afghanistan's king was overthrown. After that, many horrible events occurred, but Amir did not treat Hassan as a friend anymore, yet only a servant. Amir moves to America and looses touch with Hassan, but when Amir finds out that Hassan died, he came back to Afghanistan. Rahim Khan told him the truth about his family. Hassan was truly his brother. That was not the only news he was told, he was also going to take care of  Hassan’s son Zohrab. After overcoming many difficulties to find Zohrab, Amir took him to America . Zohrab was traumatized from all the humiliation he was put through. He was extremely sad.He had lost his family. Amir wanted to make him happy and he knew what a great kite runner Hassan was. When Amir flew the kite, Zohrab smiled, reassuring him that everything would slowly get better. My favorite quote from the book was “For you, a thousand times over." Hassan had told Amir this when they were just little boys. It was ironic because, after twenty-six years, Amir was saying this specific saying to Hassan's son. He was trying to be like Hassan. He was ready to be Zohrab's father. This is my favorite book, because it shows how friends do betray each other, but at the end, they do not have to apologize. Their actions speak for themselves. I am not saying that it is right to lie or betray your friend, but if it does happen, try to make it up in a different way. I also really love how Amir and Hassan had a brotherly relationship in the beginning of the story. They portrayed what true friendship meanss. Even though Amir was a coward, Hassan was a loyal friend. I take him as an example, and try to be like him. Always loyal and honest.
