Kite Runner Chap. 8-9

Me:
To me this quote feels like advice for something I should aim for which is to be classy. I look at it as a personal goal since in the quote it says "Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself." Being comfortable with yourself is a big thing people going to college should focus on because the less you worry about how you feel in your own skin, the more you can focus on things like studying and jobs.

Amir:
To Amir I feel like this quote is a slap in the face. Its like the quote is saying these are all the things you do not have and you proved it by what you did to Hassan and now both Hassan and Ali. By this quote's definition of class, Amir definitely does not have any while Hassan has more than Amir could ever hope for.

I like the main character of my book. He is very dedicated to his culture and his family. He works hard and he works fast. I don't like how the city of Manhattan is changing him. He came over to America innocent and trusting of people. The longer he has been there, the harder the city is making him, the more angry he is getting, but the more educated he can become about cultures other than his own.

ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS THAT GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING." - Edmund Burke

I agree with this quote based on the reading from the first 7 chapters of Kite Runner. Hassan and Ali are both two very good people, but they are Amir and Baba's servants. They are uneducated are really have no hold of their own in the Afghan world. People who are more wealthy in the book like Amir, Baba and Assef do not necessarily do anything more than Hassan and Ali, but they also aren't as good of people.
