The Kite runner

In chapter 1 we find out that something happened to Amir at the age of 12 which has made him what he is today.He received a phone call from Rahim Khan, who is in Pakistan, last summer. He asks Amir to come to Pakistan and see him.Once off the phone he takes a walk in the park, noticing 2 red kites which remind him of Hassan. starting with chapter 2  Amir reminisces about his childhood with Hassan and how they used to be troublemakers
We are given a detailed description of Hassan, and find out his is a loyal friend.Hassan is a Hazara and Amir is a Pashtun. Amir finds out that the Hazara had an uprising which was brutally suppressed by the Pashtuns.In chapter 3 We get a description of Baba, who comes across a little scary. He does all the things people say he cannot: design and build an orphanage, marry well, become a successful business man etc... also Amir tries to impress his father, but thinks his talents (reading and poetry) are not considered manly enough by Baba.

Presenting my project

today I was assigned to present my project , I got kind of nervous when I got up there so I started to panic forget some of my poem that’s I had to recite . I think with me talking in front of crowds with help me overcome that small problem.

Mother to son / son to mother

Today we went over two poems , the two poems we went over were some what similar but not exactly. They both had different meanings but similar if that makes since . I enjoyed reading the poems today ... I also love the concept we have before going over a poem . Mr. Rease makes us brainstorm before reading the actual poem , this helps us understand the poem better

Nigger / nigga

We went over these two words and discussed on how they are alike and different, also where they come from . These two words can be found very offensive to many but slightly offensive to few

Music

today we talked about what music meant to us and how music makes us feel . To me music is my escape from everything ... when I’m going through hard times like right now I just listen to music to get my mind off certain things , when I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to I just go listen to music . I tend to listen to songs pertaining to what I’m going through , even though it makes me feel even worse It’s just the feeling of Being able to relate to the music. Music helps me calm my nerves and just clear my mind I honestly don’t know what I would do if we didn’t have music
