The Kite Runner

In the Kite Runner, I thought that when Amir was being smuggled to Pakistan was one of the more exciting parts. Espescially when the Russian soldier was singing the Afghani marriage song. It was pretty crazy to imagine that Baba and Amir were hiding right under the nose of the enemy! I figured that the Russian soldier was too high to even do his job correctly. "Thank Allah for that", Amir probably thought. That soldier must have been on opium or hash. Who knows? Also the descripiton of how the truck smelled of vomit and feces. If you have ever had to smell that, then you would know that it is not very pleasurable. Those refugees had no choice because time was a factor. Also, they could not give up their postion, for this could have costed them their lives. In desperate times,you have to learn how to improvise, adapt and overcome. You also have to learn how to ignore certain things as well. Sometimes that could involve ignoring fear itself. Just like in the part were they were driving on dark, winding and moutainous roads.They were bascically blacked out or with little light. To some people that is known as "light discipline." It took alot of skill for the driver to bring Amir and Baba to safety. It takes alot of skill to drive like that."Were in Pakistan Amir"p123. They had finally made it.
