27 November 2013 Kite Runner Essay In The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, Hassan sacrifices his own blood for Amir, even though Amir did in fact have a chance to save Hassan from his fate. Even with his guilt, Amir is never able to call Hassan his friend until learning of his blood relation to him, bringing him to see that the surface value of a person, where they came from and what they’ve done, is not a worthy assessment of the person. Because of Amir’s evolved understanding of who people are beyond their social status or blood relation, he is able to accept his past and find redemption. Amir’s decision to marry Soraya as well as to adopt Sohrab is based on his realization of the need to accept people as they are. After he and Soraya learn they are infertile, they discuss the idea of adoption with Soraya’s parents, but her father disapproves saying, “Blood is a powerful thing, bachem, and when you adopt, you don’t know whose blood you’re bringing into your house” (Hosseini 188).

When Farmer got married to his wife Didi and then had a kid I thought he would maybe change his ways and become a family man. Paul never becomes a family man because he was in such a habit to go to Haiti and not staying in one place, such as his home with his family that he never changed. Paul always had to be helping somebody. Even though Paul is away from his family for a good cause, I think it isn’t right to start a family but never be around to see them.
