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,
Kevin
