I am reading “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini. the book is very well written, and so far it is one of my favourite books. The book is about the friendship between Amir and Hassan, Amir being the main character of the story.
I closed my eyes and loosened my grip on the string. It sliced my fingers again as the wind dragged it. And then… I didn’t need to hear the crowd’s roar to know. I didn’t need to see either. Hassan was screaming and his arm was wrapped around my neck. “Bravo! Bravo, Amir agha!” I opened my eyes, saw the blue kite spinning wildly like a tire come loose from a speeding car.
I chose this quote because it shows how any amount of hard work pays off, and how motivation is one of the strongest ways to win something. Amir had so much motivation he was willing to injure himself, even while the string was “slicing his fingers”, he still pushed on, which shows his extraordinary level of motivation. Additionally, this quote shows the friendship between Hassan and Amir, as Hassan was celebrating as if he won, even though it was his friend. A celebration this intense really goes to show how good of a friend Hassan is to Amir, at the point that Hassan is almost like a brother to Amir.
