Reading Report
Book: The Kite Runner
Author: Khaled Hosseini
Pages: 1-163
Brief introduction: Amir is the son of the famous merchant in Afghanistan. There are two servants in his house, Ali and his son Hassan. Amir plays with Hassan all the time in his childhood. Hassan is Hazara, while Amir is Pashtuns. Hazara is discriminated against by Pashtuns. So although Hassan believes that Amir is his friend, Amir does not agree. Amir tricks Hassan sometimes but Hassan never gets angry. Things go peacefully, until one night Amir sees three boys hit Hassan to the ground. Instead of help Hassan, Amir runs away. From that day on, Amir does not know how to face Hassan. In order not to be regretted every second, Amir finally makes Hassan and Ali leave his home. Just after that, Russian forces Amir’s country. Amir and his father have to move to America.
Comments: This book makes me remember my childhood. The first part of the book is only about some little things in Amir’s childhood. The warm and happy time he has with Hassan. They climb tree and hills, play games and tell stories. I am extremely upset to see Hassan leave. Amir thinks he hurts everyone, Hassan, Ali and his Baba. But the one he hurts most deeply is his own. Hassan leave is a wound in Amir’s heart, and it won’t recover forever. This stuff makes Amir hate the life in Afghanistan, because all the disgusting memories are at here. He always hide, hide himself deeply in the books, in his stories. Afghanistan is a country full of violence, Amir can’t live happily in this environment, his father is a true Afghanistan man, and he has force. But Amir doesn’t. Amir is a light boy who only like literary. He is different from other kids, he need a person to protect. He wants his father’s care and love, but his father hide his love deeply in heart, which makes Amir always feel unneeded. Maybe the true reason of the hurt around Amir is his father.
Digests:
My cheeks burned and guilt coursed through me, the guilt of indulging myself at the expense of his ulcer, his black fingernails and aching wrists. But I would stand my ground, I decided.
I blinked my heart quickening. She had thick black eyebrows that touched in the middle like the arched wings of a flying bird, and the gracefully hooked nose of a princess from old Persia-maybe that of Tahmineh.
They fell from the sky like shooting stars with brilliant, rippling tails, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners.
It just appeared, this other face, for a fraction of a moment, long enough to leave me with the unsettling feeling that maybe I’d seen it someplace before. Then Hassan blinked and it was just him again. Just Hassan.
Page: 163-401
Brief introduction: Amir becomes a popular writer. He meets a girl named Soraya in USA. They fall in love and get married. But they can’t have babies. His father died because of the illness. One of his father’s old friends calls him and invites Amir to his house. He tells the story over 20 years about Hassan and his family. He tells Amir that Hassan and his wife were killed by Taliban and he
asks Amir to find Hassan’s son, Sohrab. After a hard and dangerous trip with Talib, Amir does find Sohrab and wins his trust. But in order to get the visa to USA, Amir asks Sohrab to stay in the orphan for a year while Amir promised Sohrab before never send him to there. Sohrab try to kill himself because of this. Although he is overcome then, he refuses to say a word for a long time. Amir takes him back to USA and treats him good, waiting for his forgiveness. Then a kite competition held and Amir sees Sohrab’s smile when he wins. Amir sees the hope.
Comments: I can’t explain whether it is a happy or tragic ending. But I can say that Sohrab will get better and be a normal boy. Amir is hard-working. He cares about Hassan’s things. And he is always regretful for kicking Hassan out of his home. He thinks that Hassan died because of his action. He feels shamed. But he is a real human who has the sickness of humanity. That is why he would refuse to find Sohrab at the beginning and that’s why he asks Sohrab to go to orphan after promised not to. Certainly he does wrong things but in another way he does things anybody would choose to do. This book is not only about family and friends, is also about a kind of target or force, to help you run on whether if life is easy or hard.
Digests: We let him wrap us in his arms and, for a brief insane moment, I was glad about whatever had happened that night. (Predicative clause
It was a protective gesture and I knew whom Ali was protecting him from. (Object clause
I had crossed a line, and whatever little hope I had of getting out alive had vanished with those words. (Subject clause
I had no idea if Hassan would still be there, if anyone would even know of him or his whereabouts. (Appositive clause
I blinked my heart quickening. She had thick black eyebrows that touched in the middle like the arched wings of a flying bird, and the gracefully hooked nose of a princess from old Persia-maybe that of Tahmineh.
They fell from the sky like shooting stars with brilliant, rippling tails, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners.

《简爱》是一部激励女性，振奋人心的作品。这是十九世纪英国著名的女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特的代表作。
故事中的简爱从小就失去了父母，被舅舅家领养。舅舅里德很照顾简爱，却不幸过早离世了。这就使得简爱在舅舅家的地位是无足轻重的了。简爱在那受尽了歧视和瘧待，表哥常常欺凌她，舅母对她甚至是像对仆人一样，并且千方百计地要赶走她。尽管如此，但小小年纪的简爱离开的时候并没有表现出一丝的留恋和依赖，因为她知道她心里坦荡荡的，光明正大，所以才无所畏惧。送去罗沃德孤儿院之后，她遇到了最好的朋友海伦。两颗幼小纯洁的心灵从此联系在了一起。简爱体现出了一种敢于反抗封建思想的精神。怎么可以因为上课时分神了一下就得遭受严厉的鞭打呢？这是冷漠人心的表现，是不符合人权的行为。期间，简爱掌握了不少知识，并且还做了老师。
之后，简爱来到桑恩费尔德庄园应聘，也就是在这里，她遇到了生命中的真命天子——罗切斯特。他们在庄园里的第一次对话便有些针锋相对的意味。罗切斯特是个富有的有社会地位的庄园主，也许是对贫苦人的抱怨和希望博得他人同情的行为司空见惯了，他以为简爱也会如此，会大肆宣泻自己的不幸与不满。可是令他意外的是，简爱竟然说她自己没有不幸。而且是在父母早亡，在舅舅家受瘧待和歧视，被舅母赶出家门，在孤儿院受压迫过活的情况下。其实光是这一点，就足够令罗切斯特对简爱感到另眼相看了。
在点点滴滴的相处中，罗切斯特深深地感受到，简是个坚强，内心深处有着自己独特想法，有有肉的女子，是个能与他的灵魂平等交流的女子。他被简彻底地打动了。一次Party使得简爱的期待落空，也使得屈辱不堪的\'她终于爆发了，道出了自己的心声：不要以为我长得矮小平凡就以为我不会思考，就没有爱的能力；如果我也有上帝所赋予的天资，那么我也同样会很出色。我认为，这也是本书最精彩的地方。的确，其实人生来就是不平等的。有的人出于富贵之家，有的人生来就拥有一幅好的容貌。可是，何必要执着于这些呢？要知道，我们还是能够满怀友爱，自信而平等地对待他人。
一念天堂，一念地狱，如何取舍就在于自己的一念一想。误会解除之后，罗切斯特向简求婚，简高兴地答应了，然而没想到的是，这背后却有个惊天秘密。罗有个患有精神病的结婚十五年的妻子！这个事实令简大受打击，她忍受不了她最信任的人一直欺骗着她，忍受不了他们之间有道法律的鸿沟，而这条鸿沟却是跨不过去的。简带着她仅剩的一点尊严离开了罗，之后被牧师圣。约翰收留。圣。约翰请求简做他的妻子，一并带她去印度。当问及娶简的原因时，他的回答却仅仅是简适合做传教士的妻子，而不是出于爱。不，这不是简想要的爱情。她想拥有的爱情是纯洁的，是两个心灵激情碰撞之后产生的火花，是因情感交流而衍生出来的惺惺相惜，绝不是存在利益关系的交易。于是，简又回到了庄园课那里却变成了一片狼藉，简急切地想要找到罗切斯特，看他是否安好。因为那场大火，罗切斯特变成了一个残废。可尽管如此，简还是一如既往地爱着他，并没有因为他变成了残疾而鄙视、抛弃他，也并不会因为他变得一无所有而离开他。这就是简对爱情的态度：你可以贫穷，你可以变丑，但你不能欺骗我，伤害我的自尊。这才是真正的“因为爱情”。
我想，简的这种精神是独立的，是难能可贵的。我们是活生生的有思想，有感情的人，带着尊严和爱生活在这个世界。别人可以瞧不起我们，但我们不能看不起自己，我们要“自命不凡”，坚强、自信、努力地面对一切困难，迎难而上。如何做的关键就在于自己如何想。选择积极的心态那么阳光、快乐、满足将会伴你一生；选择消极的心态，那么阴郁、抱怨、不幸将会长相随。所以，对自己好一点的话，全世界都会为你让路。

Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton.Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son. Linton even says "... my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!" to express his feeling about Heathcliff.The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children.
This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in which the husbands or wives don't know each other. This had happened between Isabella and Heathcliff. Isabella did not really know Heathcliff when she married him, but after she had married him she saw that Heathcliff was not a gentleman at all. To declare her feelings she wrote "Is Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil? I shan't tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married ...". Another example of this is when Catherine married Edgar Linton. Although she had been happy at the beginning of the marriage, she thought having parties all the time was going to be fun. Yet, after a while, she became bored. She also realized that she loved Heathcliff more than Edgar and would always love Heathcliff.This enlightenment created separation between Edgar and Catherine during the final hours of Cathy's life. An additional marriage which was made that was doomed was the one between Catherine and Linton. Because this was a forced marriage, Cathy had not yet learned all she could about Linton.Because she did not know until after the marriage that Linton was selfish and inconsiderate, she became distressed and grew isolated in the house.These three failed marriages described in this novel show that knowing the person you will marry is very important.While these marriages took place, jealousy also took a hold in some relationships. One example of this is when Mr. Earnshaw starts to favor Heathcliff over his own son, Hindley. Because of this, Hindley becomes jealous of young Heathcliff and sets out to make Heathcliff's life a nightmare. Hindley's jealousy becomes evident when he says ,"... be damned you beggarly interloper! and wheedle my father out of all he has; only afterwards show him what you are, imp of Satan.". Jealousy was also found very notably in the relationship between Heathcliff and Edgar Linton.
