THE KITE RUNNER

For this photo essay, I picked to "take pictures" of the main ideas in the book, I chose the main points in Amir's life where he had major changes

THERE IS A LOT OF CHILDREN IN AFGHANISTAN, BUT VERY LITTLE CHILDHOOD

When Amir was growing up Afghanistan was a place where children didn't know the sound of gunfire. It was a peaceful place, I choose this picture to show how his childhood in Afghanistan was innocent.

FOR YOU, A THOUSAND TIMES OVER

I chose this picture to represent the bond between Hassan and Amir , although at times Amir wasn't nice to Hassan they always loved each other.

I THINK HE LOVED US EQUALLY, BUT DIFFERENT

I picked this because through out the book Amir was always jealous of Hassan because baba seemed to have a love for Hassan that he didn't have for Amir.

I GUESS SOME STORIES DO NOT NEED TELLING

I chose this photo because after Amir witnesses Hassan getting rapped, he is torn on wither to say anything. Amir always has pain and guilt in his heart, he tears himself up about the choice he made

THERE WAS SO MUCH GOODNESS IN MY LIFE,I WONDERED IF I DESERVED IT

Amir talks about how he has an amazing life yet he has done nothing to deserve it. He is trying to find ways to make up for the bad things he has done but he never finds a way to forgive himself.

I SEE AMERICA HAS INFUSED YOU WITH THE OPTIMISM OF CHANGE

After moving to America Amir learns that time heals things, even though the pain from Afghanistan is still in his heart, America is a new beginning for him.

KABUL HAD BECOME A CITY OF GHOSTS FOR ME

When he comes back to Kabul he is faced with a city unfamiliar to him. Memories from his past are hidden under the grave and crushed building on the road. Hassan is allowed Kabul and Amir knows he will never see him again.

Sorabh is a mirror image of Hassan to Amir. He sees the pain in his eyes, he has hard life and Amir wants to say him from the life he has had

These brass knuckles were a image of fear through the book, Amir was always afraid of them until the time when he was attacked with them.
