Journal---Chapter 25


Soraya had found a way to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Sohrab slit his wrists with a razorblade in a hopeless mind. Amir was really sorry for what he had done. After Sohrab woke up, he told Amir he wishes that he had died. Since then, Sohrab hadn't even said a word in a year, no matter he was in Afghan or in the United States. Things changed at a party, because Amir bought Sohrab a kite. Sohrab was so interested in fly the kite. He inherited this gift from his father. Amir and Sohrab beat the kite beside theirs. Then Amir went to run the kite for Sohrab. Sohrab finally smiled.
I really like this quotation in the end.
"Do you want me to run taht kite for you?"
His Adam's apple rose and fell as he swallowed. The wind lifted his hair. I thought I saw him nod.
"For you, a thousang times over," I heard myself say.

Then I turned and ran.
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. A leaf in the woods,shaking in the wake of startled bird's flight.
But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow on flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting.
I was really moved by this story. In the end, Amir redeemed himself and tried his best to atone for what he had done to Hassan. The roles had exchanged, for that it was Amir that who said "for you, a thousand times over". At first, I felt sorry for Hassan for his poor fate, however, I changed may view because I believed that Hassan would forgive Amir.
Amir was really a good man. He experienced and grew through his return to Afghanistan. It is definitely a good book. I am happy I had chose it to read! I highly recommend everyone to read it!
