Second part of Kite Runner Analysis

Author: Billy Lau // Category:
The second part of Kite Runner was very sad and many characters have died. The second part was more interesting then the first part. Amir has discovered things that happened in Afghanistan when he was in America. In America Amir gets married and Baba dies. Baba becomes more attached to Amir in America. One example is when they both go out to the flea market every Sunday and meet new people.  Baba was a major part of Amir's life and most of the decisions Amir has are made by him. Amir griefs over his death and I think his God is trying to punish him for what he did to Hassan.


Amir adjusts to America very quickly mainly because he finds a wife. Amir had bad memories in Afghanistan, and it was time for him to move on and forget about the past and to start a new beginning.  I think that the part where Amir goes back to the Afghan was a bad decision. He should not have to endure more pain about something that has already happened. He wanted to end that part of his life in Afghanistan and going to America is perfect. Everyone still does it. They move to America for a fresh start. In America, He goes to college, gets married, and gets a job as a writer and published four books already. America is like a dream country for most people. 


There is a lot of deaths in the second part and it seems completely different from the first. Im sure the last part will be very sad and even more intense. I think that every thing is going to work out in the end. Throughout the book, Amir feels happy, sad, angry, selfish, and shameful. He experiences loss of people, gifts, deaths, rape, and marriage, but I think he has been shaped by them. Overall, this book has given me more ideas of whats happening in Afghanistan and how people there are going through emotional times compared to the USA. Some questions I really want answers to are: Why is there a war in Afghanistan and what are they fighting over? Which side is the US helping? I hope as I read on these questions will be answered
