REFLECTION: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini 

Afghanistan serves as the plot setting for a story of friendship, culture, and
ethical judgments in Khaled Hosseini's novel “The Kite Runner”. The affiliation
between Amir Jan and his servant son Hassan has served best memory to
commemorate all the good things happens. They enjoyed playing with a kite together
since Amir was good in controling it on air and Hassan was his kite runner. Actually,
both have won the local kite tournament in their local community, and Hassan also
gets racial and sexual abuse from Assef when he catches the broken-down kite. When
Amir distanced himself from Hassan and expressed a desire for a new servant, their
friendship began to destroy and there are emphasis of gaps.

For simple and excellent understanding, let me give you chunk information of
the story of Amir, a prosperous Pashtun boy. He shared his childhood activities and
harmony with Hassan, Ali's servant's son. The best kite runner Amir had ever been
with, Hassan, assisted in recovering the last severed kite but was raped by Amir's
classmates. Despite everything, Amir chose not to assist Hassan. Their tight friendship
ended after Amir admitted to being a timid person. Amir ended connection with
Hassan after he left the place where he usually live and be with his father in America.
After a long time, Rahim Khan, one of Baba's partner in business, told Amir the truth
that Hassan was his half-brother biologically. Eventually, finding a way to pay his
mistake, Amir adopted Hassan's son, Sohrab.

Hassan was a committedperson both friends as well as between a servant and

master, there was a loyalty in between situation happens. Hassan thought of Amir as
his best friend, thus regardless of how Amir treated him, he could do anything for
Amir. One of the scenes that affected me the most was when Hassan was mistreated
by Assef, one of his schoolmates, and he still refused to give them the blue kite
because it was intended for Amir. Instead of making a deal with Assef, Hassan would
choose to sacrifice himself. He might be aware that he and Amir were in different
classes. He may be aware that he is in serious problem. He might be aware that Amir
never saw him as a true buddy. Yet, he continued to insist to give a help. Hassan could
enjoy a better life without Amir, but when Rahim Khan asked him to take care of
Amir's place, he gave up his awealthy existence and moved in with him. He lost his
life defending Amir's home. After seeing this film, I was tdefinitely amazed by
Hassan's loyalty and gained a greater appreciation for the phrase "For you, a thousand
times over." This is a promise that Hassan valued throughout his entire life, as well as
the immeasurable friendship that Hassan sought to obtain.

In my opinion, the film's director Marc Forster succeeded in making the

spectator experience the state of Afghanistan both before and after the Taliban took
control of the country. The fundamental strength of this film is its ability to evoke
emotion in the viewer. We may experience joy, anguish, and anxiety when, for
instance, Amir is in Afghanistan. This tension is especially powerful when the
audience is inside the Taliban home trying to save Sohrab. You can find some
political issues, such as discrimination, invention, changing the main country power,
and main law, if you investigate the political side. The artificial effects in this film are
another flaw. For instance, when Assef was shot by Sohrab, it was absurd to see
Assef's eyes look like they had been sucked out, and the blood effects were also fake.
The plot is also overly intricate because it jumps backwards and forth in time, which
might be perplexing for viewers, especially young children, given that this film is
mostly geared toward families.

Overall, the actors did a great job playing their roles in the film. Amir's assets,
character appearance in details, the history of Afghan leaders, the backstories of some
characters, some of their ethical behaviors, and the locations where specific events
took place were a few small aspects that the film pass over. Hassan was known as the
"Kite Runner" and would chase kites for his friend and mentor Amir. Also, I was quite
impressed with this film because It highlights the worth of love and friendships. After
seeing this film, I came to understand the value of friendship and the necessity of
appreciating our happy life.
