The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner, a book that I have just finished reading (and absolutely loved), has just been made into a movie.

The movie tells the story of a young boy, and his father, who flee the war in Afghanistan, to a new home in America. Although their new life is much happier, Amir, who, as a young boy, did many bad things that he deeply regrets later on in life, which continue to haunt him. He grows up in America, get married, and has to visit his old country, which brings up the bad things of his past. Like Will Thornhill, Amir misses his old country, but knows his new country is the better place for him to be. He wishes that he had done many things in his life differently, and if he hadn’t faced the conflicts he had faced throughout his childhood, would he have been a different person, would his life had turned out much different if he had?
