THE KITE RUNNER, AMIR AND HASSAN

In the novel ”The kite runner” written by Kahled Hosseni we meet the to young boys, Hassan and Amir. Hassan’s father works for Amir’s family and he has been their servant since he was born. Hassan and Amir grow up to become best friends and they do everything together. But some older boys bullies them about the fact that Hassan is a Hazara and therefore from a different social class in the afghan society. Anyway the two best friends stand together against the world. Hassan would do anything to save Amir’s life, so one day when the big boys want to fight, Hassan defends Amir and they get away. When the winter comes and it is al set for the big kite competition, Amir and Hassan is prepared and ready to win. And so they do. Hassan, who is the best kite runner in town runs to fetch the blue kite that Amir cut down from the sky. On the way back the bullies catch up with him and they force him in to a backstreet where they rape him while Amir watch without saying a word. That happening changes the two best friends relationship forever. Amir gets ruined inside of al the guilt he feels every time he sees Hassan, and they slowly drift apart.

Their relationship is very much affected by the different social classes in Afghanistan in the 1970-ties. Hassan would do everything for Amir and every time Amir asks him for a favor he answers “for you and a thousand times over,” and I think that pretty much describes Hassan’s sight on his friendship with Amir. Hassan is honest and loyal to his friend and would do anything for him, while Amir finds it very hard to find the strength to stand up for Hassan. And the choice he makes the day of the big competition follows him for the rest of his life, and when he finds out that Hassan is dead because of Taliban and that his son is an orphan he figures that it is a good way to at least try to make up for some of the mistakes he has done in the past and he treat Hassan’s son the way he wish he would have treated Hassan when they where younger.

CRASH

I think the movie was good, the way that every act got twined together in the end was great. IT was a very insightful movie where we got to see a lot of different situations that concerns racism. We also got to see a little bit more about what the black people thinks of us white and it shows that in the end we are all the same, and that there is good and bad people in every community and it don't depend on you color or which culture yore from. Also that a lot of the choice we are making is up to ourselves and we can choose to do the right or the wrong thing and that is what makes us a good person or not. The film had many different acts and i think that every character got a different sight on life in the end. It is a movie to contemplation and you have a lot of thoughts and questions about how life is for other people when the movie is over. All in all i think it's a very good movie :)
