The kite Runner

For you, a thousand times over.

——Amir

I dream that my son will grow up to be a good person, a free person. I dream that someday you will return to revisit the land of our childhood. I dream that flowers will bloom in the streets again... and kites will fly in the skies!

——Older Hassan

The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who betrayed his best friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant, and lives in regret. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime.

The novel begins a story about two boys. Amir is born in a rich family. Hassan is his servant as well as close friend. They both lose mother from birth and grow up like brothers. Hassan is very loyal to Amir, but Amir sells him. Many years later, Amir has settled down in America for years and established a family, but Hassan died for protecting Amir's luxury house in Afghanistan and leaves an orphan. Accidently, Amir gets to know a big secret and decides to atone for his crime that hound around him from childhood.

The Kite Runner is an enormous masterpiece and one of the best books seen. At the first place, I have a feeling of being cheated by the writer. The novel first attracted me before because it set its plot in a special environment---Afghanistan which even I often got news about from TV and newspaper; I knew the country utterly ignorant except wars and terrorism. However, to my shock, the novel just uses a special background environment to write the conscience of a sin story, to tell a so-called travel of human nature.

I like the part that describes the pure friendship and innocent childhood between two boys. I like the words “For you, a thousand times over” what Hassan said to his master and friend Amir at the kite runner. Perhaps most people think Hassan aim for all things just because Amir is his master .Hassan is only to do his job, even if a kite runner is also should. However, as far as I am concerned, all the things Hassan doing for Amir is to his belief that His respect and praise highly to Amir, especially to their pure friendship.

The feelings to Amir is great, pious, and hot for Hassan, even if Hassan is in rouge violence, Amir not go to aid him, betrayed him and even finally Hassan leave home unwillingly Hassan hasn’t complaint a little. The attitude Hassan to the friendship in some way expresses the human nature.

The other hero of the novel is Amir. In fact, Amir is a really hero.

The fault he made when he was 12 years old, though many years has passed, Amir has to back to Afghanistan to apologize what he has done wrong. Although many years has passed, Amir is now in America having a well job and high statue, he is still at last making decision make up the sin what he has done. He wants to be a good person.

The things Amir and Hassan have done express the human nature, on matter bout the friendship or kind. For me, Hassan is worthy of respect, Amir is worthy of forgive. They are worthy of human nature. Now in the rapid development of the economy, science and technology progress, and the material of the realistic society needs sharply, how many people still remember the human nature? When people hungry for the needs of materials, the traditional virtues they still pursue. In China, recently hot issue, for example, SanLu milk powder events, businessmen in order to driver profits while sacrifice health of others and even price of life, this is what credit losses, the loss of conscience, the loss of human. And the issue of Xiao Yueyue is fully proved that the social interpersonal apathy, human nature gradually lost. When our nation develops materials at the same time should not forget the culture construction, especially human nature build. For individual, we should do all the things with human nature. We make friends with sincerity. We make money by our hands according to law. We work hard in the study and do our best to our work. We are never forget the human nature and enjoy our every day.

第二篇：追风筝的人

追风筝的人》(The Kite Runner)，又译《追风筝的孩子》，是旅美阿富汗裔作家卡勒德·胡赛尼的第一部小说，也是第一部来自阿富汗作家出版的英文小说。小说《追风筝的人》由第一人称视角，讲述了一个身在美国的阿富汗移民阿米尔的童年往事和他成人后对儿时过错的心灵救赎过程。儿时的美好和友情，因为一个懦弱的疏忽而毁于一旦，如果再给你一次机会，你愿意不顾一切地去重新找回那个曾经的自己吗？该小说的主人公阿米尔在坦然面对自己曾犯下的罪恶之后，他以赎罪般的努力，最终令人感动的完成了一个男人的成长。

关于阿米尔，一个在舒适的环境中成长的孩子，唯一缺少的是父亲无微不至的疼爱。由于阿米尔的出生夺走了她母亲的生命，也就是父亲眼中的公主，使得父亲颇为心痛。加之阿米尔一直都没有成为他想要塑造的人，这令父亲更加心灰意冷，从而疏远了阿米尔，而阿米尔对父亲始终存在一种敬态度的同时，却又渴望得到父亲给予的温暖，所以一种性格上的懦弱，原则上已存在于性格的内在缺陷里。当你十分重视一个人的时候，你最在乎的往往是这个人对你的看法，你最想要的也通常是这个人对你的肯定，所以当阿米尔看到了父亲对哈桑关怀备至时，这足以使得这个年少天真的孩子感到嫉妒，从而养成了主人公阿米尔自私与嫉妒的性格。自私与嫉妒的被纵容不是一个孩子愿意发生的事情，所以一个孩子的错误究其根源往往都是来自于大人的世界。

关于哈桑，那个对阿米尔说出“为你，千千万万遍”的孩子，他心地善良，在他的世界中，没有嫉妒，他对命运是顺从的，甚至是收之一切。对于他来说，阿米尔是主人，更是不可背叛的朋友和兄弟。他能容忍阿米尔对他的嘲笑，甚至是后来阿米尔对他的背叛与伤害，他通通都原谅了，他始终以饱满而充溢的情感对待他的阿米尔。很多读者都在讨论着哈桑的公与不公的问题，但是我们眼里所谓的公平无非就是一种心态的平衡，至少在哈桑的心里还没有出现过人们眼中的那种不公平，所以作为读者的我们，在感叹哈桑的同时也就没有必要去对哈桑的公平进行针锋相对了。其实，当我们偏爱一个人的时候，哪有那么多的道理可讲，也没有那个雅兴去计较付出的多与少，谁又会关心所谓的是与非，当时的感情都是以一种不转弯的方式去延伸。与阿米尔在一起，对于哈桑来讲，痛苦肯定不是自我精神状态。哈桑对阿米尔这种义无反顾的忠实与真诚滋长了阿米尔的背叛，同时也对日后阿米尔的行径埋下了一颗宽容的种子。

“为你，千千万万遍。”这句话从第一次出现到全书结束，哈桑的这句话被无数读者公认为书中最令人震撼的文字。这句话第一次出现是在斗风筝比赛中，那是阿米尔一生中最骄傲的时刻，因为他漂亮地赢得了比赛。而后来，这句话更像一句谶语，在书中反反复复地出现，预示着某些东西将无可避免地发生，那喀布尔城中追风筝的日子将成为阿米尔心中最美最痛的回忆。

为你，千千万万遍。

哈桑被缝合的嘴唇，索拉博哭泣时止不住颤抖的肩膀和空洞的眼神，塔赫里将军固执地从房间里走出来时的狼狈模样，阿米尔的矛盾，索拉雅的眼泪??一切的一切似乎都在我眼前呈现。

正如作者卡勒德·胡塞尼在前言中所说的一样：我看到小说作品独有的联结人们的力量，我还看到了人类的体验有多么普遍：羞耻、负疚、后悔、爱情、友谊、宽宥和赎罪

我看见了一个从未曾接触过的世界：战火纷飞、流离失所、寄人篱下??我为之震撼并且悄悄难过得红了眼眶。

一个人，不，或者应该说是一代人乃至几代人的命运，都无时无刻不与国家的命

运紧紧地联系在一起。所有人活着，都处于情感与理性的矛盾之中。无论是童年的阿米尔、哈桑还是十几年后的拉辛汗、索拉博，都这样挣扎于政治、宗教与自我的拷问之中。

阿米尔懦弱的转身造成了哈桑心中的伤；哈桑的死，让三十八岁的阿米尔找到了再次成为好人的路。阿米尔无疑是幸运的，他赎回了灵魂，他丢失在巷口的灵魂。索拉博是不幸的，父母的早逝、孤儿院里不忍回望的遭遇??

救赎，常常不是出于醒悟，而是出于对从背叛的痛苦中解脱的渴求，其出发点仍然是利己的。但如果救赎能为他人带来幸运，倒也的确仍是很好的解决之道。或许正是如此，阿米尔才义无反顾地回到阔别多年的故乡。他没有停止对哈桑的愧疚，对自己的自责，其实，这些都是因为他没有停止过对人性的追寻。

正如译者所言：也许每个人心中都有一个风筝，无论它意味着什么，让我们勇敢地追。

为你。 千千万万遍。
