I thought that the ending was sad, but it was a great ending. I love the last line, "I ran." I think that it shows that now the phrase means something else instead of running away from his fears, and being a coward, he is running with his new self and he is happy.
I think that Amir hadn't prayed for 15 years because he had everything he wanted in his life and there wasn't a major problem until he was in the hospital.
I think Sohrab and Amir kite fighting represents happiness, it's not complicated. It's just happiness. It means a lot because it's the first time both of them have been truly happy in quite a while
I do think that Amir will treat Sohrab the way he wanted Baba to treat him as he was growing up because throughout the book, Amir always yearned for Baba to treat him better as a child. He flashbacks to memories of Baba either shutting him out or just saying hurtful things about Amir, for example when he said that he couldn't believe that Amir was actually his son. Amir will want to now treat Sohrab with respect and loving and open arms. He will try to be as involved as he can with Sohrab so he doesn't make the mistake that Baba did with him.
Jon- I think he is getting there and he is especially happy when flying the kite but he can not just forget everything that has happened in the past. It will take some time.
I think that Amir will be a better father than Baba because he has seen what baba had done and the mistakes he had made. Also It will be easier for Amir to be a better father to Sohrab because he only has to care for one child.
I felt that this ending was needed in order to complete this books message. By amir running down the kite, he has finally realized what it take to be a true man. He has fully redeemed himself of his past.
During the chapter when he was having all of the dreams he saw baba fighting the bear and then he saw himself fighting the bear so i think hes scared that hes gonna portray baba but hes going to try to be his own person and learn from his past
I think that the author made Amir return to the US a month before 9/11 because if he made this event occur anytime after, the chances or probability that Amir and Sohrab would be able to return to America would be vey very slim due to safety and stereotypes with Muslims and terrorism concerns.
I don't think anyone knows what Sohrab's future is going to be like, he's a little boy and he has so much potential ans so much more to do and so much that he can do
If Sohrab is anything life Hassan, he is going to be fine in America. When he is older he will find so many opportunities because of his work ethic and his genuine care for others.
I think that the author chose to end the book at this point in the story to make the reader think of certain possibilities of how the lives in this story will turn out. It makes the reader really think and reflect on the past events to try to piece together a possible and reasonable outcome of the story. By ending the story at this point also shows the readers that Amir's goal, of redemption, was or wasn't totally accomplished depending on your point of view or perception. It makes you wonder what will happen next and gives you hope and a little bit of a cliff hanger.
To me the deeper meaning was Amir being able to relive a happy part of his short childhood, after everything that happened with Hassan, he had to grow up so much quicker than any normal boy. So it was just nice for him to relive that small little part
Did you like the ending?

ReplyDeleteMeghan- Yes an no. I had good parts like Sohrab warming up at the very end, but also bad parts. Like the hospital incident
ReplyDeleteDo you think that Sohrab has peace and is happy agian
ReplyDeleteI think it was an overall good ending. It made me change the way I think about Amir and I think he will follow through and be a good father to Sohrab.

DeleteI don't think Sohrab will warm up to Amir because Amir isn't truly his real father.

ReplyDeleteI think Sohrab smiling at the end is a start to him being happy again, but he's not completely happy yet.

ReplyDeleteI think Sohrab knows that he is going to have a better life in america
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think Sohrab's future will be like?
ReplyDeleteDuring the chapter when he was having all of the dreams he saw baba fighting the bear and then he saw himself fighting the bear so i think hes scared that hes gonna portray baba but hes going to try to be his own person and learn from his past
ReplyDeleteHow could this ending have been altered? What would happen to sorab if he chose not to come to America?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you guys think the author made Amir return to the US one month before 9/11?

DeleteI think that he will have a good rest of his life
ReplyDeleteI think Amir will want to treat Sohrab like he wanted Baba to treat him when they we're younger, and he'd treat Sohrab as if he was his own child.
ReplyDeleteI think Soraya had Sohrab's best interest in mind when she did that, she was only trying to draw him out of his shell so he could be "happy"
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone knows what Sohrab's future is going to be like, he's a little boy and he has so much potential ans so much more to do and so much that he can do
ReplyDeleteI think that Sohrab's future will be good because Amir will care for him like a son.
ReplyDeleteI think Sohrab will have more opportunities in America and if he takes advantage of the opportunities he will have a good life.
ReplyDeleteI think that Sohrab will be happy because Amir never gave up on Sohrab, and tried to get him into America so he could have a better life.
ReplyDeleteIf Sohrab is anything life Hassan, he is going to be fine in America. When he is older he will find so many opportunities because of his work ethic and his genuine care for others.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think Sohrab's life would be like in America if he hadn't attempted to commit suicide?

DeleteSohrab's future will deffinately be difficult for him because he's going to have to overcome his childhood. He is deffinately scarred for life.
ReplyDeleteI think that Sohrab will make friends in America and maybe try and go back to Afghanistan in the future
ReplyDeleteTo me the deeper meaning was Amir being able to relive a happy part of his short childhood, after everything that happened with Hassan, he had to grow up so much quicker than any normal boy. So it was just nice for him to relive that small little part
ReplyDeleteI think because it had a great symbol with the kite and it had clarity
ReplyDeleteI think the author ended the book at this point of the story because it shows how Amir changed throughout the book and Sohrab had finally smiled
ReplyDeleteI think that the author ended this story at this point because Amir has dealt with his past.
