Kite runner; the second look

wow. All i can say is wow. There is a lot of crazy things that happen to Amir, and his wife, and Hassan. I truly believe that the main theme of this book has something to deal within the realm of love. There are so much things that represent love. Validation and love have a border that is either very blurry or very defined. In this book The Kite Runner, Amir tells a story of his life and the encounters of love he has. 

          the first in the second part was Baba's love for America. this exemplified throughout chapter 11. (<it starts on page 125>). Baba shows that the idea of America was a strong one filled with optimism and dreams. 

          I also noticed that this 2nd section of the book deals with new beginnings. This is a new begging, moving to a new country. There is a new beginning with Amir's graduation of high school and when he moves to college. There is one when they begin to go to yard sales and to flea markets. They experience a new one when Amir and Soraya get married and when their culture puts a veil of shame on them when they cant have kids. its a new beginning when Amir finds out about Hassan. Loneliness is also another new beginning. For the first time Amir was not in the shadow of Baba, other Afghans, and even Hassan. Now he was by himself, naked to the world. This is love. letting someone find self discovery, whether it be from passing away or deliberately knowing, will always be a moment of love. All of these incidents listed above are all examples of a new beginnings and new found love. Love in these examples are either superficial or deep love.

          throughout the book, Amir feels supported, validated and loved at different moments in his life. He experiences loss of these things and has been shaped by them. All of these events lead to define Amir's character. all of these events somehow have an impact on his future, whether it be a positive or negative effect.
