Journal---Chapter seven


At the beginning of this chapter, the narrator was told a strange dream about lake and monster by Hassan. Then It came to the kite-fight tournament.Atfirst, the narrator was so nervous. Hassan's encouragement made hime feel better.The narratorcared about the tournament somuch, because it would lead to the big change of his father's attitude to him which is of the greatest importance in his mide. With any luck,the narrator's kite became the only one remain in the sky finally and Hassan would run the last fallen kite back. With the gift he got, he always finished it well. No one, even the narrator, can't catch up with him. But Assef run after him this time. Unfortunately, when Hassan got the kite, Assef got him. He wanted Hassan give the kite to him. Hassan didn't, of course, Assef knew that. What he only wanted was to humiliate him. The narrator watched all the things happen but didn't do anything. He did not come out to stop them, protect Hassan like Hassan did before. He was so cowardly. To the narrator's surprise, Hassan didn't even say a word about it and just give the kite to the narrator. It made him guilty. This chapter, a beautiful sentence showed up for the first time when Amir asked Hassan to get the kite back.
"Hassan!" I called. "Come back with it!"
He was already turning the street corner, his rubber boots kicking up snow. He stopped, turned. He cupped his hands around his mouth. "For you a thousand times over!" he said.
