Don't forget to include a page number of the textual evidence you are referencing. en-us 2022-01-18 00:39:56 UTC 2025-12-14 05:20:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Paddy Eckert https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998751520 I take to heart when the soldier disrespected Ahmad's mother. Considering Ahmad has never met his mom because she left it is still sad to see people who are considered being heroes be so disrespectful to the boys.(7)]]> 2022-01-18 18:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998751520 Jack S https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998752909 I take to heart on page 53 when Amir says that he and Baba can come together over Kites."Baba and I lived in the same house but in different spheres of existence. Kites were the one paper-thin slice of intersection between those spheres." I like how Kites remain a bondage between a lot of Afghans.]]> 2022-01-18 18:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998752909 Carly G https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998753259 (9) He heard stories about his father fighting a bear, he said that when he dreamed of the fight he couldn’t tell the difference between his father and the bear: does he fear his father?
(9) His father had the nickname “Mr.Hurricane” and says he could draw the attention of a crowd like how sunflowers turn to face the sun
He sees his father as someone to fear instead of a father that he can go to for advise

That is because Amir’s dad built an orphanage, which helped me understand him a little more. (13)

This was a take to heart because he talked about how their relationship was not built off of religion or ethnicity, however they valued their own personalities and characteristics and their relationship was built despite their religion, ethnicity etc.]]> 2022-01-18 18:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998760287 Andrew Nejes https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998767960 24, 25: Like Ali, I was adopted into a different family at a young age. It was nice to see that Amir's grandfather raised Ali as their own child, much like my parents raised me. It really is nice seeing characters that I can relate to in a personal and meaningful way.]]> 2022-01-18 19:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998767960 Julia https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998769835 On page 13, Amirs father did his community a big favor and built an orphanage for them. This is a take to heart because it shows that Amirs dad is a caring person, and will volunteer to do big things for his community. ]]> 2022-01-18 19:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jriffel7/6dmrgmm31libchay/wish/1998769835
