Since this past year i have been struggling with book choices, only finding books that i some what enjoy rather than all out love, i decided that this quarter, mostly over vacation, i would revisit some old favorites that i read when i might not have understood everything, and because i never want to forget them. The first book for me was the Kite Runner. Re-reading the Kite Runner was a great experience for me. I won't forget, the fist time i read it, i was sitting on my bed right before going to sleep, not wanting to stop, but finally putting it down after the rape scene. This was the first real conflict i had read in a story, and my whole mind was a-twitter that night, horrified yet slightly amazed at what i had just read. The feeling the second time around was the same. Although many changes have happened to me since 7th grade, my reaction to that part of the book stayed exactly the same. Overall the plot of the story itself is unbelievable in the most realistic sense of the word. Feeling like i was standing right next to Amir in all of his horrific and amazing scenarios was not uncommon. The scene at the end of the book, when Amir is standing on the green with Hassans son, flying the kites, was tear-jerking, which is why i included that on the cover of the postcard. I saw the movie when it came out and remember it not giving justice to the book, but still being nice. It helped me visualize the ending scene even more for me. Overall reading this book again was just what i needed to help me remember how much i loved it forever (i know thats cliche but its true!).
Until next time...
