He taught good morals that didn't seem like they were relevant at the time. Baba stood up to the German solider in spite of the &lt;strong&gt;calamity.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To me it seemed the same way when my parents were raising me. I thought that they didn't appreciate me, but come to find out they were only tyring to teach me the right things so that I could grow up and become a successful adult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The coward, Amir,&lt;/strong&gt; ran from not only the truth but his best Friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After reading the chapter of the event I thought to myself and told myself that I would never abandon my friends, because it makes me mad when people do that kind of stuff to their friends like that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1007218551131675932-5747564698447206499?l=paulhwjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulhwjr.blogspot.com/feeds/5747564698447206499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1007218551131675932&amp;postID=5747564698447206499' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1007218551131675932/posts/default/5747564698447206499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1007218551131675932/posts/default/5747564698447206499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulhwjr.blogspot.com/2008/11/affects-of-reading-kite-runner.html' title='The affects of reading &quot;The Kite Runner&quot;'/><author><name>Why we think?</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17590548610171183607</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007218551131675932.post-1061101955698332090</id><published>2008-11-17T15:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-17T16:14:20.838-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the bullies'/><title type='text'>The Kite Runner Bullies !</title><content type='html'>In the book "The Kite Runner" there are many bullies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are bullied bullies such as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Amir&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The wealthy boy, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Amir&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; was bullied by&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Assef&lt;/span&gt;, the perpetrator.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Assef&lt;/span&gt; exhibited  &lt;strong&gt;malevolence &lt;/strong&gt;toward &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Amir&lt;/span&gt; when he called him names and later on physically assaulted him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Hassan&lt;/span&gt; was ill treated  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Amir&lt;/span&gt; watched the attack happen but didn't say anything. Until the grief caught up to him, then &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Amir&lt;/span&gt; tried to get his father &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Baba&lt;/span&gt; to get &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;rid&lt;/span&gt; of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Amir&lt;/span&gt; hit him with things but got no response, then he placed some of his own birthday money and a watch under his bed. (I think you know where that was heading).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a lot of bulling going on.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1007218551131675932-1061101955698332090?l=paulhwjr.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paulhwjr.blogspot.com/feeds/1061101955698332090/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1007218551131675932&amp;postID=1061101955698332090' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1007218551131675932/posts/default/1061101955698332090'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1007218551131675932/posts/default/1061101955698332090'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paulhwjr.blogspot.com/2008/11/kite-runner-bullies.html' title='The Kite Runner Bullies !'/><author><name>Why we think?</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17590548610171183607</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
