Carry It Forward: The Kite Runner

When I read books for class, I end up hating every page, but something about this has me hooked to read everyday. I don't know if it's the friendship aspect or the fear that he faces; I just need to read it to understand the people and the places. Everyday and everynight I read it more and more. Flagging parts that make me think or drop my jaw to floor. I realize that what I learn is the creative effect of the words he uses and the traps that he sets. To get you reading more about this boy and his "brotherly" servant, he doesn't tell you flat out, he rather you preserve it. So, tell me am I right when I talk about his story, this fake memoir thing really isn't that boring. Sure its not real, but nothing ever is. Just soak in the words and take it for what it is.

That paragraph above is what i'm going to take from The Kite Runner. The more you read it, the more you'll understand that it isn't the story and it's ideas I'm going to carry with me, but rather the way the words are presented. You see the rhythm, and if you read it aloud, you'll hear it too. The story has it's rhythm while the words and sentences have their own. What do you hear while reading?
