【文章內容簡介】 r did when he found that things. Amir’s mind had planted the seed of hatred with the time going. Obviously his father cared more about Hassan rather than himself. As what I had included, Hassan can do anything for Amir and he regarded him as his friend. From the novel, we can discover that Hassan was a very great kite runner. He can easily catch the kites and he always helped his master get the kite no matter what hard it was. As long as Amir wanted, Hassan would do his best at any cost. The kite fighting tournament is an old winter tradition in Afghanistan. The petition started early in the morning and did not end until the winning kite flew in the sky. For the fighters, the most proud prize was the last fallen kite of a winter petition. When the sky cleared of kites and only the final two remained, the kite runner will try his best to catch the last kite to land this prize. Over the years, Hassan was by far the greatest kite runner. After a kite fighting petition, Hassan helped Amir to catch the last fallen kite of a winter petition to get the most prize. When Amir found Hassan, he was humiliating by Assef. At first Assef only wanted the kite, Hassan said “Amir agha won the tournament and I ran this kite for him. This is his kite” (Hosseini 72). This made Assef very angry, so he used his own way to punish Hassan. What had happened had already been watched, he did nothing to save Hassan and ran away. Hassan chose to five his master and did as usual .But Amir can not five himself when he saw Hassan smiling to him. He was suffering from the torment of conscience. So he decided to make Hassan leave, he framed Hassan stolen his watch which his father give him as a birthday present. In Amir’s father view, there was only one sin and that was theft. Every other sin was a variation of theft. Amir’s father 6 was not likely to ask Hassan and his father left. He pleaded but they chose to move out and Hassan knew what happened. Hassan decided to hide the truth for ever. When Amir and his father left their hometown to America, they had gone through the difficult journey. With time going on, they settled down in America and Amir went to college. Then Amir still engaged in writing a novel and sometimes helped his father to collect some staffs. But there was still guilty in his heart. Then he loved general’s daughter Soraya at the first sight. They had gone through much difficulty to get married at last. One day Amir got a phone from Khan and wanted to meet him. So he had a long journey to Afghan and found a way to be good again. Then he went in the most dangerous area to rescue Hassan’s son and knew that Hassan was his half brother. In other words that he had to save his nephew. In the process, he met his rival Assef and had a fight with him. At last his nephew did just like his father Hassan did and helped a lot. So Amir can feel better and he told his wife what he had done when he was young. Soraya really hoped that he can take his nephew to America and lived his new life from then on. They all can have the normal life as other people do. From what I had mentioned above, it is not hard to have a full understanding of the main character Amir. I will analyze it from different aspects. With other researchers’ materials help, I had known more information about the novel and can analyze the novel from different aspects. I really hoped that my research would help other readers to understand the novel deeply and had a prehensive understanding of the main characters. 2. Father’s view of Amir Pauline When Amir started to speak the first word, it was baba. We can easily note that father is so important in Amir’s opinion. It was said that Amir’s father was once wrestled a black bear. It was wellfamous that Afghanistan liked to lavish praise on themselves or others. When the story happened to other people, they may not believe it. If it referred to Amir’s father, nobody would doubt the truth. 7 His father’s era Amir’s father did have three parallel scars to prove the truth. As far as I am concerned, I really doubt the truth of the story. But from this, we can find that his father was a hero at that time around their area. So he wanted his son to be grown up like him. In his view, real men did not read poetry and god forbid that they should ever write it. Real menreal boysplayed soccer just as baba had when he had been young (Hosseini 20). Amir did not grow up just like what his father did. Then Amir always held that his father liked Hassan much more than himself. In the novel, the most significant I noted that was the father told Amir the only sin in the world. He once said that when the person kills a man, he steals a life. And when person tells a lie, he steals the right to fairness. When he tells a lie, he steals someone’s right to the truth. Father’s view Amir used to like reading and he always hided in the library and read the books for a long time. So his father did not like what Amir was from the following conversation between Amir’s father and Rahin Khan. His father said that Amir was always buried in those books or shuffling around the house like he was lost in some dream. When Amir’s father said what was above he was frustrated and almost angry. Also Amir was not like that at all and neither were any of the kids he grew up with. From his father’s point, Amir was not violent. When Amir played on the street with the neighborhood boys, he was pushed around and his toys were taken from him and gave him a shove here. He never fought back and he just dropped his head. Amir’s father thought that there was something missing in that boy. When the neighborhood boys teased him, Hassan stepped in and fended them off. Amir’s father really hoped that his son could be strong as he was. His father can not know about Amir. He once said if
