Hey! Its me again!

Ive been reading more of The Kite Runner and Im beggining to like it. Chapter 2 is mostly about the boy (whose name we later find out is Amir) and his relationship with Hassan. Hassan's father, Ali, has paralysis of his lower face muscles, making him unable to smile or move his mouth. On page eight, the author writes " It was an odd thing to see Ali happy, or sad, because only his slanted brown eyes glinted with a smile or welled with sorrow. People say that eyes are windows to the soul. Never was that more true thatn with Alie, who could only reveal himself through his eyes." I like this quote because it describes Ali physically and emotionally at the same time. It also shows that people with disablities rise up and are able to communicate with others no matter what. Near the end of the chapter, Amir finds out through and old history book that his ancestors persecuted and killed Hassan's ancestors. It seems he is too young to comprehend what that means about their relationship. At the very end, there is heavy foreshadowing about the "winter of 1975." I cant wait to read more!

Love,

Kite Runner

Im reading the kite runner for my reading book. ive read a few chapters and so far it is mostly about the boy (whose name I don't know yet) and his friend, Hassan. Hassan has a cleft lip but the boy doesn't seem to mind. They sit in trees and eat berries they found and throw them at dogs, people and other objects. The chapters are pretty short but i like the author's style. This book is in the first person, and seems like the author is telling you a story. He shows you around his house, which seems very fancy. He also tells of him and Hassan walking past a few soldiers, and the soldiers disrespecting Hassan's mother. That's as far as i've gotten for now but this is a very interesting book and i'll post again later tonight.

Love,

In the Time of the Butterflies. Oh boy, do i love this book. The characters are great and i can't get enough of it. Minerva is my favorite. She's smart and knows what she's doing. I think i might read Kite Runner for my book. I hear it's pretty good. Well i don't know what else to write about. I own Schnorbs he is pathetic at life. Ms. Tholen is the best teacher in the whole school she is so witty and clever. I wish i could have her the entire day, but i can't.

Love,
Kevin

woohoo
