Rationale

This novel it’s about two Friends, Amir that is son of Baba an important business man, and Hassan that is son of Ali, a servant of Baba. This two friends are separated each other and they never see each other again in their lives. This novel occurred in middle of a civil differentiation between Pashtuns and Hazaras.

In this task I’m going to refer to different aspects of the book. I’m going to start saying that The Kite Runner is very linked with this task because is about a letter that Baba Send to Hassan, because he realizes that he can’t occult no more that Hassan is his real son, so he writes this letter saying he is apologize for not treating him like his own son.

The creative piece is that Baba writes this letter to Hassan, thing that didn’t happens in the book and saying that he is father of Hassan. What I’m attempting to say by writing this letter is that Baba always had the opportunity of telling Hassan that he was his father and he was apologize of how he treated him like, but he couldn’t do it in the book because he was afraid and he doesn’t had the courage to face anyone, but in this letter he made it. 

I believe that the letter was the best way of communication between Baba and Hassan, because they didn’t live together anymore. This letter is directed specifically to Hassan and the text type used was semi-formal.

Dear Hassan,                                                                                                    

First of all I want to know how you have been in this time that we haven’t see each other. Well, I’m not so good because there is something that I want to tell you, but it’s very difficult for me to say what I’m writing to you right now and it’s the purpose of this letter. It all started when I was a little boy, I lived in an enormous house with my family, and the family of the servants also lived in that house, and I grew up with the son of the servant. His name was Ali and I had the same relationship with him like you with Amir. It was not so similar because I never admitted that he was my friend, because I didn’t have the courage to do it. Ali and I grew up together, and when I got married and started living alone with Sofia, I invited him to be my servant and I built him a little house near my house where he could live with Sanaubar, his wife.

Now, here is the thing I need to tell you but I’ am afraid of your reaction Hassan, but I believe that you need to know. I lived very happily with Sofia until something horrible occurred. Sofia got pregnant with Amir we were very happy and I believed that I was the luckiest man in the world, but when we were at the hospital waiting for Amir to be born, something went wrong in the delivery phase and Sofia died when Amir was born. That was the best and the worst day on my life. Two years later, I started a relationship with your mom Sanaubar without Ali knowing this, and this event has weighed me down all my life. Sanaubar get pregnant with you and I was responsible for that, I am your father Hassan, and Ali never knew that. He always believed that he was your father but the truth is that I am. I loved you Hassan, my son. I am so relieved now by telling you this, I had always loved you but I couldn’t tell you before because Ali was living near my house and I’m never going to see his face again because I don’t have the courage to look at his eyes again.

Hassan, I want to apologize for not having treated you like my own son because I was afraid of Ali’s reaction, and I don’t want you to be alone because of my mistake and your mother’s mistake. I want to tell you that when I die, I am going to divide all my fortunes between you and Amir, and I want you to stay close to Amir, as if you were brothers. I just need to ask that you don’t tell anybody about this, you need to know that this is for your future, and only for you my son.

I hope you can understand me and forgive me, I love you.

Your Father, Baba

Kite Runner Reflexion

In this reflexion of The Kite Runner, between the book and the movie there are plenty of differences and similarities that we can found but in this time I just will refer to 3 of them. One difference between the book and the movie is that in one part Assef fights with Amir, and in the movie just shows that Amir was very hurt in the floor, but in the book shows that after the fight Amir gets knockout and waked up in a hospital. Another is that Rahim Khan in the book its coughing blood and was very sick and in the movie apparently is okay. The third difference is that in the book Assef tells a story that he was in prison and in the movie doesn’t. One similarity is when Assef and Amir where speaking, in both cases its well explained. Another is when Amir and Farid where well dressed and in both cases is explained with a lot of detail. The last is that in both cases its similar the distribution of the dialogs.
