Part 2 Summary

In chapter 4 and 5,the gap between Amir and his father gets bigger thanks to his father's aloofness against him. Amir finds a substitute,Rahim Khan,his father's close friend, to comfort his lonely heart. Hasson, as a good playmate he is, inspires and encourages Amir to realize his talent of writing.Amir shares his first story with three people, his father,Rahim Khan and Hasson, but only obtaining positive response from the last two. The one who he cares most dosn't care what he has written， which hurts Amir a lot. Life has often changed in an unexpected way. No body could escape the overwhelming influence of society. Amir and Hassan's lives have been imperceptibly affected owning to a political coup.It is too early to say that a harelip surgeory on Hassan is a good thing for now, cause it is only the chapter 5 and lots of things unknown ahead await for discovering.

Part 3 Reflections

读到第5章，我心中充满了好奇和未知，故事究竟会怎么发展呢？总是有一种莫名的悲剧感由上心头，感觉像个悲剧。在读这本书之前，我稍微查了一下，这本书还拍过电影。电影的海报很引入注目，两个天真烂漫的娃娃，仰望天空，用眼神去追逐天空[www.dhgcn.com]那虚无缥缈的风筝。一张照片，我看不出更多的故事，但是那种凄凉感总是挥之不去。说心里话，我羡慕Amir他出生就携着的金钥匙，可以很好的读书，受教育，找到自己的兴趣和方向，虽然他缺乏母爱，父亲又不理解他，但是比起Hasson，在某种程度上他是幸运的，因为至少，他可以通过知识来掌握自己的命运，而Hasson呢？出生就是奴隶的束缚，将制约他一生。心跟着这两位起起伏伏，继续读，继续探索！
