Amir’s victory soon is tarnished when he witnesses a vicious assault against his friend, who raced through the streets of Kabul to retrieve the last kite, Amir had sliced from the sky, and fails to come to his aid. Amir’s cowardness is compounded by a later act of betrayal that causes Ali and Hassan to leave their home, and he now faces the nightmare, bearing the burden of his poor choices for the rest of his life.

The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, follows the maturation of Amir, a boy from Afghanistan, as he discovers what it means to stand up for what he believes in. His quest to redeem himself after betraying his friend and brother, Hassan, makes up the heart of the novel. For most of the book, Amir attempts to deal with his guilt by avoiding it and refusing to own up to his mistakes. Because of his past, Amir is incapable of moving forward. His entire life is shaped by his disloyalty to Hassan and his desire to please his father over helping his friends. Throughout the novel, his attempts to atone for his sins end in failure, as neither physical punishment nor rescuing Hassan’s son, Sohrab, from Assef prove to be enough for Amir to redeem himself. Only when he decides to take Sohrab to the United States and provide his nephew with a chance at happiness and prosperity that was denied to his half-brother does Amir take the necessary steps toward atonement and redemption. Khaled Hosseini uses a series of symbols to reinforce the message that atoning for one’s sins means making up for past mistakes, rather than simply relying on forgiveness from either the person one betrays or from a higher power.
Soon, Amir and Soraya got jobs in a hospital located on the Afghan-Pakistani border. Hosseini used this to imply that the efforts of many people like Amir, Baba, and Soraya can help Afghanistan heal and become great again. One day in the local park, Amir bought a kite from an Afghanistani kite seller and took it over to Sohrab. Amir told him about Hassan and his superb skills at both kite-flying and kite-running. He asked Sohrab to kite with him, and as expected, there was no response. However, when Amir started to kite gleefully as he hasn't for decades, Sohrab followed him. With this scene, kites have returned to the novel as hopes for a brighter future. The simple action of Sohrab kiting with Amir proved that there is always hope in every situation. Amir demonstrated Hassan’s favorite trick to Sohrab, who showed a keen interest in kites like his father, and then he thought of his memories of Kabul as he severed the green kite's string. As if on instinct, Amir returned to his blissful memories of kite-flying with
...th that Baba had throughout his life. This quote clearly shows that as the story progress Amir grows more in his strength and mentality. In the beginning he was cowardly and Baba would worry if he can handle himself. In the end he made his father proud and stood up to Assef. Overall the symbolism of the bear shows the growth in Amir’s character and his resemblance to his father.
Amir is, to be put bluntly, a coward. He is led by his unstable emotions towards what he thinks will plug his emotional holes and steps over his friends and family in the process. When he sought after Baba’s invisible love, Amir allowed Hassan to be raped in an alleyway just so that the blue kite, his trophy that would win his father’s heart, could be left untouched. In the end, he felt empty and unfulfilled with the weight of his conscience on his shoulders comparable to Atlas’ burden. Unable to get over his fruitless betrayal, he lashes out and throws pomegranates at Hassan before stuffing money and a watch under his loyal friend’s pathetic excuse for a bed, framing Hassan for theft and directly causing the departure of both servants from his household. Even after moving to America, finding a loving wife, and creating a career for himself in writing, he still feels hollow when thinking of his childhood in Afghanistan. Many years later, he is alerted of Hassan’s death and sets out on a frenzied chase to find his friend’s orphaned son. He feels that he can somehow ease his regrets from all of those years ago if he takes in Hassan’s son, Sohrab. He finds Sohrab as a child sex slave for Assef, who coincidentally was the one to rape Hassan all of those years ago. After nearly dying in his attempt to take back Sohrab, he learns that he can take the damaged child back to the states with him. Sadly, Hassan’s son is so

When Amir takes Baba to the doctors, the doctor suggests chemotherapy for Baba to prolong the cancer but Baba did not want any medication. Amir tells the reader, “He had the same resolved look on his face as the day he’d dropped the stack of food stamps on Mrs. Dobbins’s desk” (156). Baba did not want help even if his life was on the line. Baba also starts to take pride in Amir when he tells General Taheri, “Amir is going to ne a great writer,” Baba said. I did a double take at this” (139). Amir is starting to realize that his father who was untouchable and was a legend in Kabul was truly human. When Amir tells Baba that he wants to marry Soraya, Baba calls General Taheri to set up a meeting between the two men. As Amir dropped off Baba at the Taheri’s for the meeting, he says, “Baba was hobbling up the Taheri’s driveway for one last fatherly duty” (163). In this instance, Amir sees Baba as a true father. Amir feels Baba’s acceptance when Baba tells Amir on lafz, “It’s the happiest day of my life Amir” (166). Baba is telling Amir that through everything in his life from him marrying Sophia, to Amir winning the kite tournament, all the way to Amir graduating high school, Baba has never been prouder. After Baba’s death, Amir says, “As words from the Koran reverberated through the room, I thought of the old story of Baba wrestling a black bear in Baluchistan. Baba had

Additionally The Patio of Leon also incorporated water into the structure. Colonnades surrounded the Patio of Leones and the pool of water was divided into four parts and in the center was the lion fountain. It was believed that this symbolized the Qur’anic concept of paradise, which includes a garden with four rivers flowing with water, wine, honey, and
There are many countries that are located in dried up areas which are the hottest areas in the world. Some of the countries located on the earth’s equator are surrounded by desert and the majority of the land consists mostly of sand which does not hold water. There are not enough trees to absorb water during rainy season. In some areas, there is no rain for several years. The temperature is very high during the dry season. Jay W. Sharp states in his article The Sahara Desert, the temperature in desert areas are extremely hot. The average temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can reach 136 degrees Fahrenheit. For example, Sudan, where Nya lives, is generally extremely hot and dry because the country has no forest and is surrounded by the Sahara Desert, the second largest hot desert in the world and covering many countries that include Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and others. Similarly, in the book A Long Walk to Water, Nya finds water every day for the family. During the summer, there is no water in the pond near her village, so she has to move to the big lake. Even at the lake, it is still dried up, too. Because water is essential, she has to dig into the clay to get the water, but it is unhealthy, and it is the cause of disease and death. Nya’s little sister, Akeer, had stomachaches because of drinking unclean water. There are many people who suffer from the same illness, and many of them have died. In these countries in this area, it is hard to find water. Even if it was found, it is still undrinkable
Water resources are poor and are restricted to torrent storms which occur randomly in place and time. Rainfall percolates through the gravel and sand deposits of stream (wadi) beds forming local underground reservoirs (Abu Al-Izz 1971). Water shortage, topography and poor soil conditions are the main limitations to sustain traditional agriculture, however, drought resistant vegetation or typical desert plants (Xerophytes) are observed scattered along the coastal strip and in valleys. The Eastern Desert of Egypt has harsh living conditions due to prevailing hot and dry climate. Administratively, this desert is named the Red Sea Governor...
