Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.”

Amir’s words implicitly demonstrate one of the major themes of the novel, The Kite Runner. These lines show that Amir is unable to cast off memories of the past, and is always haunted by the memory of leaving Hassan behind in the alley. This sense of irresponsibility or willful neglect stays with him.]]> 2021-05-13 18:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522350593 905942 https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522354453 “And suddenly Hassan’s voice whispered in my head: ‘For you, a thousand times over.’ Hassan the harelipped kite runner.”

Hassan speaks these words to Amir when he runs after a kite, that he can do it over and over a thousand times for him. Now Amir’s betrayal of Hassan in response to his altruistic loyalty haunts him whenever he thinks about Hassan saying this memorable line.]]> 2021-05-13 18:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522354453 905942 https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522358056 “'There is a way to be good again.’ I looked up at those twin kites. I thought about Hassan. Thought about Baba. Ali. Kabul.”

Here Amir is remembering words spoken to him by Rahim. Amir is thinking about everything when sitting on a park bench. The collective memories of the kite running, Baba, Hassan and his city Kabul come into his mind to remind him of his past life. He becomes nostalgic thinking about his past.]]> 2021-05-13 18:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522358056 905942 https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522363568 “Then he would remind us that there was a brotherhood between people who had fed from the same breast, a kinship that not even time could break.”

Amir, the protagonist of the novel, The Kite Runner, shows in these lines that he and Hassan have been fed and taken care of by the same nurse. This means that they are brothers. Ali would remind them of this kinship later. These lines are a sort of a foreshadow to remind the protagonist that his counterpart is actually his kinsman.]]> 2021-05-13 18:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1522363568 9412021 https://padlet.com/905942/dw2b2vne494ki1fk/wish/1525929169 "Those aren't soldiers, you're one set of bongos away from a commune."
