Week 2, POST B

Dear Khaled Hosseini,
I have recently started your novel Kite Runner. So far, i enjoy it very much. It shows some very distinct examples of friendship and how the culture was in Aphganistan. I really like how you wrote the book so that the first chapter sets the tone for the entire novel. It was very interesting how before I knew Amir's name, I knew a significant event in his past has defined who he is today. This technique makes me want to continue reading so that i can find out more about that event! Another thing i admire about you novel is how you incorporate the friendship between the boys Amir and Hassan. Hassan always being the kind and nice one, "But he never told on me. Never told that the mirror, like shooting walnuts at the neighbor's dog, was always my idea" (4). I feel like i can relate because i have some best friends who would always back me up. I feel that Hassan has a part with the significant event because the novel goes right to him.
I cannot wait to keep reading!
