It didn't make everything all right. It didn't make anything all right. Only a smile... 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. 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.¨ The beginning of this quote shows the beginning of Sohrab getting close to Amir gives the reader peace that things are getting better. The last part shows Amir being carefree playing that led to him betraying his friend and brother in the first place. This probably means that Amir is no longer held back by the problem that was present since around the beginning of the book: his guilt of his betrayal towards Hassan. This was satisfying to the reader because it brings closure to the main problem of the story.]]> 2020-12-09 15:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002600443 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002613665 2020-12-09 15:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002613665 rouses2021 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002614184 The ending that Khaled Hosseini provideds Is satisfactory because it brings the book full circle. Hassan and Amir use to fly kites together and Hassan would always run the kite for Amir. For Amir and Sorhab they are in a park and fly kites togther while Amir tells Sorhab that he will always run kites for him like how Hassan had done for him.“For you, a thousand times over,” Amir says (p. 371)This also shows exactly how much Amir has grown through out the book from the selfish selfcentered child/friend/brother to the selfless and caring person/husband/uncle/father that he has grown to be throughout the entierty of the novel.]]> 2020-12-09 15:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002614184 librettiriverj2021 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002614920 Khaled Hosseini offers a satisfactory ending. We say this because he starts the book in a serene and calm matter and ends it in the same way. He is able to bring peace and a bit of closure in the end when Sohrab smiles. Amir says, "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" (Hosseini 371). By showing Sohrab smile and what is means to Amir it gives the audience a sense of hope that Sohrab will get better and be himself again. For us, this is a satisfying ending.]]> 2020-12-09 15:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002614920 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002616953 Hosseini offers a satisfactory ending with a kite fight similar to the ones discussed in the first few chapters of the story. By returning to the setting and activities the narrative strategically left behind with the story's progression, the author brings the book full circle. "I did it perfectly. After all these years. The old lift-and-dive trap. I loosened my grip and tugged on the string, dipping and dodging the green kite. A series of quick sidearm jerks and our kite shot up counterclockwise in a half circle. Suddenly I was on top" (Hosseini 370). ]]> 2020-12-09 15:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002616953 rogersa2021 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002619584 My partner and I both agree that Hosseini offered a satisfactory ending. It made sense for the book to end like that because of the way it started but even though it wasn't exactly a good note it still gave readers hope and this can be seen when Amir says, "'For you, a thousand times over'...It was only a smile, nothing more... But I'll take it" (Hosseini 371). The ending was an appropriate ending because we get to see Amir taking on Hassan's role and the readers get to have a reason to believe that there is a future for both of them. ]]> 2020-12-09 15:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002619584 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002623534  The ending Hosseini created was not a giddy happy ending but it was definitely realistic and left the audience with a feeling that the book had come to an end and that Amir and his new family would be going on with life. We say this is  a satisfactory feeling because it ends by connecting back to kite running Amir says, " The last time I had felt a rush like this was that day in the winter of 1975, just after I cut the last kite, when I spotted Baba on our rooftop, clapping, beaming,. I looked down at Sohrab. One corner of his mouth had curled up just so. A smile." (Hosseini  370). This connects us back young Amir and Hassan and shows that so much has happened since then, and so much growth has taken place. This moment of joy for Amir and Sohrab does not make everything ok like Amir says but it does show that things have and will continue to  grow and shift the way they are supposed to.]]> 2020-12-09 15:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002623534 bymuna2021 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002624918 My partner and I both agree that Khaled Hosseini did off a satisfactory ending. When Amir says; "My hands are stained with Hassan's blood; I pray God doesn't doesn't let them get stained with the blood of his boy too."(Hosseini 346).This quote right here ties the whole book together, it brings the guilt that Amir has faced throughout the whole entire book to the light. By having Amir saying he has blood on his hands brings to light the books progression about lessons learned. It finally brings the book to full circle, finally reality has became real to Amir,; Amir has own up to the truth, and grown and shifted the way of the book. The scene turned Amir character upside down, he went from being afraid to show feelings, but now is in the hospital crying hoping Sohrab still has a life.]]> 2020-12-09 15:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002624918 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002626323 The ending was satisfactory because in the beginning, amir mentioned crouched in an alleyway that what he went through at 12 made him who he is today. Hosseini said ¨looking back, i been looking into this deserted alley for the past 26 years¨( Hosseini 1) that line brung forth suspense for the rest of the book and the fact that the story was ended mentioning the alley again was cool

It is suitable for everything that happened up to this point because running symbolizes feeling and/or being free. All the traumatizing events that occurred, this truly gives the audience a sense of relief that Amir feel at peace for once; even if this doesn't make anything better, in this moment, Amir was at peace. The last few passages on this novel states, "It was only a smile, nothing more. It didn't male everything all right. It didn't make anything all right. Only a smile. A tiny thing. A leaf in the woos, shaking in the wake of a startled bird's flight. 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. 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). This was a sign of surrender from Amir. He finally surrendered all his feelings for just one moment of freedom. ]]> 2020-12-09 15:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002627020 wardj2021 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002627515 My partner and I both agree that the Kite Runner does offer a satisfactory ending because of how the ending helped drive home one of the author's main themes of redemption. On the very last page of the book, Amir goes kite running for Sohrab and he says, "'For you, a thousand times over'"(371). This sentence reminds the reader of when Hassan said the exact same thing to Amir, and this connects back to the entire reason why Amir is trying to redeem himself. It helps show that even though this isn't a really happy ending, Amir finally is starting to redeem himself for what he did in his past.]]> 2020-12-09 15:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002627515 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002636757 Khaled Hosseini does offer a satisfactory ending because Amir redeems himself. "For you, a thousand times over".(371) This quote means they care more about the other person than themselves. It all connects back to loyalty and friendship. Amir has a burden off of his back now.]]> 2020-12-09 15:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1002636757 ettep2021 https://padlet.com/smustafah/qz8htkq70rrx4yv8/wish/1003083539 I don't think the ending was very satisfactory because of the weird feeling it gave at the end. The book had so many negative events in it and I don't think the ending had any type of happy ending or a morla to it. Granted, with the Kite Runner's contents, there isn't much room for a happy ending but I just think maybe if it had "look to the  future, there are good things to come for Sohrab" or something then I would have liked it more.
