Baba was a typical father that expected his son to be into athletic things such as soccer and such, and when Amir tried things of that nature, he felt bad because he was not as good as Baba had hoped. But one thing that interested both Amir and Baba was the Kite tournament. It was Amir’s dream to win the tournament so that Baba could be proud of something that he did. Later on throughout the story, Amir won that tournament and in order to show Baba the winning kite, the price he had to pay was to watch his friend Hassan get raped. In Chapter 7 Amir states, “I actually aspired to cowardice, because the alternative, the real reason I was running, was that Assef was right: Nothing was free in this world.
His virtue is compassion because he loved his parent too much so he ran away from them. He didn’t want to kill his father and marry his mother but little did he know he was adopted so him running a away cause his down fall because he ended up killing his actual father and marrying his mother and having kids with her. If Aristotle’s definition could be expanded to where virtue was included then “Oedipus” would be considered a tragedy. If you put virtue into there then the hero wouldn’t have to have a tragic flaw he could have a virtue which is like compassion or sadness because a flaw is like pride or something along those lines. If virtue was included then Finding Nemo would fit his criteria.

All I smelled was victory. Salvation. Redemption.” (65) Amir felt early in the novel that Baba thought of him as weak. By bringing Baba the blue kite back he could end the disappointment of him, redeeming himself for his mother’s death, and end his longing for Baba’s love. For a moment Amir had redeemed himself, but created a new situation which he had to redeem himself from.
First of all, Wharton’s subtle action toward Ethan’s torn feelings for Mattie and being loyal to his wife. Ethan was unfortunate to have a choice in leaving his wife to be with Mattie but, tried a futile decision to both trying to do suicide. In the novel there were events in which Ethan was indecisive over rebelling against Zeena’s decision of firing Mattie. I was very compassionate toward Ethan when he heard that Mattie was being sent away as for his reaction was as said “now his one ray of light was to be extinguished”. The moments between Ethan and Zeena showed me how miserable he truly was and made me sympathize with him for their
Formal Writing- Kite Runner “There is way to be good again.” This remark of Rahim Khan suggested to Amir that he could make up for his past mistakes. This realistic novel highlights the tension between two ethnic groups the Pashtun and the Hazara living together in 1970’s Afghanistan. This is shown in the story through the two main characters and their childhood friendship as Pashtun and Hazara boys. A significant event in Kite Runner is the Assef’s violation of Hassan after the kite flying tournament. When Amir decided to run away from Assef’s attack on Hassan, it meant that he chose to protect himself rather than help his friend.
As Antigone fights against the authority to bury polynecies she comes into conflict with her uncle, Creon. Creon decides that she is to be punished even though she is family. He also gives her a chance to say that it wasn’t her, but she takes pride in the honor of her brother, and pride in the struggle that she went through to stay faithful to her family. This leads to conflict between her and Creon which diminishes their relationship “I intend to give my brother burial. I’ll be glad to die in the attempt,-- if it’s a crime, then it’s a crime that God commands.” This is stated by Antigone and it is showing that she would give her life to stay loyal to her family and to give her unburied brother the proper
His sonnets were made to be passionate and patriotic and to show hope and rid the fear of future soldiers. The first sonnet is ‘Peace’, already from the title it is focusing on a positive message. Messages and tones that glorify the war and the deaths, focusing on the implementation that death in war is a glorious moment and that it should not be feared. Death was silenced and only the brighter side of war was shown to the public so nobody would be afraid. His use of patriotism, honour and enthusiasm gives across a positive tone to the poem.
Life is about love, and love is about you. Love is a major theme in The Kite Runner. Throughout the novel, Khaled Hosseini, the author, demonstrates the complexity of various types of love and the vastness of the emotion. The relationship between Hassan and Amir demonstrates the nature of brotherly love; moreover, Amir and Baba’s relationship demonstrates the paternal love and expectations of the father for his child providing physical and emotional support. In the novel, many symbols present these different types of love.
The next time he goes to Afganistan is when he goes to visit Rahim. Rahim tells him another big turning point, Hassan was his half brother. This makes him feel even worst about the things that he did to Hassan and makes him feel worst about running him and Ali off. He tries to redeem himself and do something good by saving Hassan's son because Hassan has died. I think that Amir would have to do a lot more to take back what he did as a child but I also feel like he saved his son more for Rahim than for Hassan.
