He won first place. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2189858490 Flying the blue kite is significant because this is when Hassan was raped. Hassan was raped after he would not give Assef the blue kite.  He knew how much this kite meant to Amir and how it would make Baba accept Amir.]]> 2022-05-18 16:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2189858490 Most of Amir and Hassan's childhood memories were made underneath a pomegranate tree on a hill. Amir and Hassan frequently go to the pomegranate tree when Amir gets home from school, Amir would read to Hassan, and they carved their names into the tree. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2211627327 2022-06-06 00:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2211627327 Amir and Hassan's favorite book is called "Rostam and Sohrab." janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212468302 2022-06-06 17:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212468302 Why did Hassan allow Amir to treat him so poorly throughout their childhood? janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212470238 2022-06-06 17:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212470238 A prediction I am making for later in the book is Amir will raise Sohrab. Another reasoning could be because Soraya is not able to have children. This gives Amir and Soraya a chance to finally have a son. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212472521 2022-06-06 17:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212472521 A song I used to describe Amir is "Try Everything" by Shakira. This song describes someone messing up and re-starting. This demonstrates when Amir moved to America to start a new life, and try to forget his past. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212478774 2022-06-06 17:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212478774 Amir grew up selfish and self centered, later to find out how horrible his actions were. Amir developed into a better person as he grew older. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212680749 2022-06-06 21:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212680749 A article speaking on the Taliban banning kite running in Afghanistan. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212684474 2022-06-06 21:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212684474 Amir has always been fighting for Baba's love and affection throughout the book. Baba and Amir never connected that well, they never had a "normal" father and son relationship. janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212691340 2022-06-06 21:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2212691340 this poem reflects on how amir feels janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2214175330 2022-06-07 23:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2214175330 My POV of Amir janniellole2024 https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2214183396 Amir grew up getting everything he wanted, and yet he was still miserable. He never treated his best friend respectfully, and never apologized to him after all he has seen that has happened to him. I think it is better to apologize then try to forget, because everything always comes back around. We see amir grow older throughout the book into a more conscious person. I still feel sometimes Amir only makes the kind acts out of guilt he still feels from his childhood to make himself feel better.]]> 2022-06-07 23:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/janniellole2024/oi9qju2kyooikvej/wish/2214183396
