Natalie's Response to Ryan C

Like Ryan I believe that this section of the Kite Runner does a lot to advance the plot, within pages 100-200 almost every aspect of Amir’s life changes. He moves the U.S, Baba dies, he grows up and gets married. Similar to Ryan I could not believe what Amir did to Hassan, he basically frames a not only innocent person but a person who unconditionally loves him and would do anything for him. I agree that he did it for selfish reasons, Amir seems to be a very selfish person and I just cannot believe what he did. Similar to Ryan I believe that Amir leaving Afghanistan will help him forget what happened with Hassan and maybe ease his guilt, although I think that Amir should have to face the consequences of everything he has done and learn to deal with it because it was his fault. I also believe that there seems to be a loss of hope and pride, the whole country is currently unstable and many bad things are occurring. For example at the border the Russian guard wants to rape the woman, also when they encounter a kid that Amir knows, Kamal, and it turns out that he had been raped. I agree that Baba has to adapt to a new culture, but he has a lot of pride and therefore he works as hard as he does in order to provide for Amir and support his family.
