He tries to get Sohrab a visa, but without success. He tells Sohrab that the only option contains the boy going back to an orphanage, something Sohrab by no means wants. Sohrab tries to commit suicide, but survives. Eventually, thanks to an Afghan friend in America, Sohrab gets a visa and they go to America. Unfortunately, the only thing Sohrab does is sleep.
Six months later, Amir, Soraya and Sohrab go to an Afghan gathering. There was a kite-fighting tournament and Amir and Sohrab win together. Sohrab finally smiles. Amir asks if he should run for the kite and Sohrab nodded. I chose this book, because I was triggered by the text on the back of it.
I would recommend it to my fellow students, because the book really intrigued me. The most striking passage for me was the passage where Amir and Hassan go up the mountain together for the first time after the tournament and Amir hits Hassan with a pomegranate and asks Hassan to hit him, but Hassan hits himself. For me, it showed the big difference between Hassan and Amir and marked the turning point in the book.
From that moment on, Amir really thinks he is better off without Hassan. I found Hassan a very nice character. I think we could all learn from his nature; good and forgiving. Wil jij nog meer weten over het boek The Kite Runner?

When Amir offers again, Sohrab takes the string. A green kite approaches for a battle, and while Amir prepares Sohrab he notices Sohrab looks alert. Amir asks if he should run the kite for Sohrab, and Sohrab nods.
The ending of the book is not exactly a happy one, and not all loose ends are tied up neatly. It is not certain that the characters we have come to know will get what they want. It is quite the opposite, in fact, and for Sohrab in particular there are fresh wounds that will leave permanent scars. The near endless abuse he has suffered is manifest in almost everything he does.
Because of the physical and sexual abuse Assef and the Taliban inflicted on him, he flinches every time Amir reaches out to touch him.
He also bathes for long periods because he feels he is literally dirty as a result of his rape. Because of this abuse, as well as the abandonment he experienced when Hassan and Farzana were murdered, he is so terrified of going back to an orphanage, even temporarily, that he tries to kill himself.
After he recovers, he says only that he wants his old life back. He stops speaking entirely, instead withdrawing into himself as if into a protective shell, completely unable to trust or open up to another person. In the pink scars on his wrists, he is left with a permanent mark of his trauma. Like everyone in the novel, he may move beyond the past, but he can never undo it. As Amir prays in the hospital waiting room, he thinks the sins he committed against Hassan in the past are being revisited on him now.
Furthermore, because he once pushed Hassan away when Hassan needed him most, God is now taking Sohrab as punishment. Even the relief from his past feelings that he does experience is not uplifting and transformative.
He knows, for example, his guilt over his relationship with Baba was gone only because he feels no sting when he thinks Baba may have considered Hassan his true son. With all this, Khaled Hosseini suggests a general lesson about life: that there are no simple solutions to such emotionally and historically complex problems as those we have seen throughout the novel. In a perfectly just world, Amir would have been able to adopt Sohrab without any difficulty and bring him home to a wonderful new life.
At one point, Amir describes an experience he had at a video store in California. Rostam, to his horror, realised the truth. He saw his own arm bracelet on Sohrab, which he had given to Tahmina many years before and which Tahmina had given to Sohrab before the battle, in the hope that it might protect him. But he realised the truth too late. This is one of the most tragic episodes of the Shahname. Shahname - overview.
Birth and childhood of Zal. Such questions are pointing to the lies, intrigues, and schemes that cause the killing of Sohrab. Ferdowsi is interested in human nature and how the choice for worldly power and position may lead to pain, misery and death. Such readings give Shah-nama a modern nationalist appreciation. The poem is couched as a dream vision in which Rostam speaks from an invisible world. While this device gives authority to the poem, it remains a dream, not a reality.
I find this problematic. But personally I have difficulties with readings that promote recourse to force rather than contemplation, duty to country over human bonds, that sustain pride rather than an awareness of human deficiencies and folly.
Several Persian painters have depicted this scene in mesmerising miniatures, emphasizing how the horses of the father and the son are screaming to warn them. Clinton, J. Cross, C. Davis, D.
