The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner is a pretty intense book and also very weird. I was shocked when I read the parts about Hassan getting raped. I didnt want to really read on because it was just flatout weird. Ive never read a book that has took place somewhere other than the United States so when I found out that this book took place in Afghanistan I tried to imagine that environment and what life would be like. The characters in
the Kite Runner are very strange. I thought Amir was a punk for just sitting there and watching his freind get raped. Like I dont know if he was scared but I dont understand how you can just sit there and watch an not help. Im excited to find out what the point of this book actually is because so far I just dont understand right now.
