Kite Runner, Reflection Number Three.

From what I have been noticing in my progression in Kite Runner is that Khaled Hosseini tries to illustrate the point that someone who appears to be your friend will stab you in the back for his own good. From where I left off in Kite Runner last week this is exactly what happens from Amir to his servant Hassan. As the jealously continues to build I noticed how extreme Amir’s jealousy of Hassan really was when he asked his father, “Baba, have you ever considered getting new servants?” (89). This continuation of deception from Amir to Hassan contenues to the point when Ali and Hassan move out of Baba’s house. After Hassan and Ali move out the world that Amir knew started to crumble. In some way I believe there was a point being shown. This was that you don’t really know what you got until it’s gone”. From this point the war breaks out and Baba and Amir move to America where Baba is forced to work at a gas station to make ends meet. This made me consider how some Americans take there life for granted and look down on other ethnicities from foreign countries because of the jobs they have or where they live. What we need to understand is that they may have once had great jobs but are forced by war or other problems to change there life completely.
