The Kite Runner

In "The Kite Runner", by Khaled Hosseini, the imagery that is inscribed within the readers mind is something that keeps you wanting to read more because Hosseini does an excellent job making the reader feel as if they were present. I am surprised how Amir is acting towards Hassan. He is not giving him the time of day and Hassan still sticks by Amir and would do anything for him. I am shocked at Amir's actions when he framed Hassan by planting the money and the watch under the matress. Then Hassan admitted to taking the gifts even though they both knew that he did not do it. I think Amir realized at that point that Hassan was a better person then he could ever be. I do not feel that Amir needed to set Hassan up in order to " set him free". Amir made the decision that either Hassan or himself had to leave but he knew that he was not able to do so. Also, when Amir uses all of his senses to describe what it was like being in the fuel tank of the truck provides excellent imagery to the reader.
