We believe Khaled Hosseini does offer a satisfying ending as we see a glimmer of hope for Amir and Sohrab from passage 370, "I did it perfectly. After all these years... Behind us people cheered.. I looked down at Sohrab. One curled of his mouth had curled up just so. A smile" (Hosseini 370). Sohrab helps Amir kite-fight for which he also smiles at Amir when Amir offers to run the kite they defeated. We could infer that there could be a hope for a better future for both of these characters and they could move beyond the past that haunts them.

Hosseini wrote a realistic ending to his story; we said this because of the dramatics Amir went through and at the end he received a somewhat peaceful ending. For example, when Amir was getting beat with Brass knuckles by Assef and almost died, this occurred on page 289-292. after this he eventually healed and at the end of the book, Amir is back in the states flying kites one last time.

“I ran. A grown man running with a swarm of screaming children. But I didn’t care. I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on my lips. I ran. “ (Hosseini 371).

We think that the ending of the story is satisfactory for what the book had to offer. Overall it wasn’t the best ending but it tied everything in the story together and closed all storyline gaps. In all, Amir seems at peace with life and for once he is truly happy which is something he hasn’t been very fond of for most of his life.

Khaled Hosseini does offer a satisfactory ending to the book. We believe this due to how at the very end during the kite scene, the readers can see the Amir has slowly won over Sohrab even if it was just for a split second. "Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time. And maybe, I just witnessed the first flake melting."(Hosseini 371).  This scene represents how Sohrab is warming up to Amir again. Just like how it takes time for the snow to melt, it will take time for Sohrab to be able to trust and be more welcoming with Amir again. This could also be scene as a way for Amir to redeem himself of all past mistakes and start off fresh.

we felt that the ending wasn't satisfactory in the sense of them not putting a ending on amir and sorhabs story. it focused more on amir and hassans past and we wish that it would've covered more of the present issues. the readers know why Amir is doing what he's doing in the sense of taking care of sohrab so the ending should've been how amir sucked us his pride and showed how Sohrab and Amir had grown together in the end. "he's now taking on Hassans role as the kiterunner" 305. we interpreted this as amir stepping in hassans place and not really an ending to thheir father son story.

Hosseini wrote an ending that was basically a moment of peace after a lot of hardships. Overall, the ending was very suitable seeing as the story started with Amir and Hassan running kites together. Now that we’ve reached the end of the book, Amir is now with Hassan’s son running kites once again. This is clearly shown through pages 368 to 371.

We believe that Hosseini offers a satisfying ending because of the quote, "For you and a thousand times over." This piece of evidence shows how Amir is heading in the right direction of recovery. That even though nothing is near perfect, he can finally move on. It's just so satisfying for the audience to see all the pain yet progress be tied together at the end. Also, it's a very good ending because it ties in with the title. It starts off with the kite and ends with the kite.

We believe that Hosseini offered a pleasing ending when Amir and Sohrab are flying the kite in the park. "The last time I had felt a rush like this was that day in the winter of 1975, just after I had cut the last kite,...I looked down at Sohrab. One corner of his mouth had curled up just so" ( 370). This is pleasing because after all that Sohrab and Amir went through they are bonding again. Sohrab is showing emotions to kite flying which they all enjoy.

# data[].attributes.body
We feel that the ending of The Kite Runner, while not completely satisfactory, is definitely a suitable one. We get to see Amir feel like himself again after all this time, being at a gathering of Afghans with his wife and Sohrab, the latter of which letting him to hold onto his memories with Hassan. We can see this happiness after acknowledging Sohrab’s smile while he was running the kite they cut: “It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn’t make everything all right...But I’ll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting.” (Hosseini 371). So while Amir himself admits that Sohrab smiling after all this time doesn’t immediately make everything better, he acknowledges it as a small step towards truly breaking the ice between them.

Denym and Josh.R-We feel that he has a satisfying ending because it ends with Amir and Sohrab sharing a kite. It focus more on Amir and Hassan past and don't really cover the issues that's going on now. "The green kite hovered directly above us now..Then shot down."here he comes!" I said" (Hosseini 370).The ending  reminds the audience when Amir and Hassan used to fly kites together it gives us the idea that everything is going to be ok.

We think this was a suitable ending because it tied together the whole book nicely. While it didn’t necessarily have a happy ending it still ended on a good note. After all that has happened it would be difficult for this book to truly have a happy ending, but the way Hosseini ended this story was very peaceful. He also tied in earlier aspects from the book. “‘For you, a thousand times over,’ I heard myself say. Then I turned and ran. It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn’t make everything all right. It didn’t make anything all right. Only a smile”(371). Here, we see that Amir accepts that things aren’t great right now, but he is hopeful for the future once he sees Sohrab smile. Also, Amir saying to Sohrab what Hassan once said to him a long time ago shows how Amir is continuing to make things right to fix his past. Also by having a kite running competition at the end, we see the story tie back together and Amir finally has a chance to do things right this time.

Yes, because the ending is very much open ended. The book does not say upfront whether or not Sohrab’s life turns out either good or bad, instead it leaves it as a cliffhanger. However Hosseini does hint toward Sohrab having a good life when he brings up how he smiles in the end; ¨ It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make anything all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woods, shaking in the wake of a startled bird´s flight… I just witnessed the first flake melting¨(Hosseini 371). This passage supports the question being asked because Hosseini is explaining to the audience how Amir saw that one thing from Sohrab that made him see that smile was bringing him one step closer to having the parental bond that Sohrab needs. Throughout the entire story we have seen only death and destruction and the ending was a good reminder that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

We get to see Amir feel like himself again after all this time, being back in his home country with his wife and Sohrab, the latter of which enabling him to relive his moments with Hassan. We can see this happiness after acknowledging Sohrab’s smile while running after the kite: “It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn’t make everything all right...But I’ll take it. With open arms.
