The Kite Runner - (review)

It's "The Kite Runner's " review!!!!
So this book is the first book of Khaled Hossein, a writer from San Francisco and famous for his second book "A Thousand Splendid Suns" 
Well, if you have read about me in my profile you would know it's one of my favourites. 
                          "For you, a thousand times over" 
This book starts with the main character Amir narrating the story of his life. And chapter 2 onwards he tells about his childhood in Afghanistan with his friend Hassan, his father, Ali Hassan's father and Rahim Khan his father's friend. Hassan was a Hazara, a lower caste in Afghanistan and Amir was a Pashtun a higher one. 
                 "I Hope you discover many tales on these keys"
In the year 1975, something happened that laid the base of the whole story, of regret, of hope, of redemption, of reunion...
If I tell you what happened in the year 1975, it would be a major spoiler so better I keep my fingers in control.
Next in March 1981 Amir and his father had to leave for America because of the rule of the Soviets in Afghanistan.
In America, Amir did his graduation, fell in love, lost people, lost love, gained people, gained love...
                               "There is a way to be good again"
In the year 2001, Rahim Khan called Amir to Pakistan and told him that all his life had been a lie and also told him the truth and the way to be good again...
 
Amir then left for Afghanistan under Taliban rule to save Shorab, the son of Hassan and his too.
                    "I ran with the wind blowing in my face,
                     a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher
                                          on my lips."
                                             "I Ran"

Dirty New Dress

Today was a good day. I felt happy and accomplished. When my mother came home, I even twirled around and showed her my dress. She laughed and called me beautiful. Everything was perfect today, and nothing could have ruined it. Nothing should have ruined it.   I heard my father shouting at my mother.  I scooted closer to my room's door, wishing on my soul he was just talking normally but in a higher voice. But, he was shouting at her, they were talking about divorce. It was something that happened because of me.  It's quite funny when you know they'll not last but when you hear them say it out loud, it's harder than how you thought how it would be. It's like the universe is making fun of you. Playing with pieces that hurt even when touched, but they throw it around.  For the past year, the bathroom has been my hiding place when I cry, so that nobody can see me cry.  They won't kill me if they catch me crying, but, they have never caught me, so I'm not sure.

Short and Simple (Fake Friends)

Hiya! Welcome back Today we're going to talk about.....                      Fake Friends..... As a person who has had a fair share of fake friends and as someone who has more fake friends in their life than the cereal in their bowl, I can proudly say that you have come to the right place and you are going to return wiser. First of all, how to know if someone is a fake friend... 1) Every time you meet them, you're going to feel bad about yourself. The first few times this happens, you might not even notice, but it becomes evident eventually. 2) They will do anything to bring your flaws, or anything bad about you or bad that happened to you, out to the public eye. And they will continue to do this even after you have told them not to.                                                             yeah, the audacity...... 3) A friend should be helping you out when you are in need, they don't just sit and watch. And even if it's obvious, they will just act like they don't
