The Kite Runnermr. Becker's Classroom
In 'Journey', a girl uses a magic crayon to draw lots of different things that spark her imagination. One of her special objects was a kite, so we made our own and carried out a science experiment to see which kind of kite tail would help it fly best. They had to explain in decimals and fractions the amounts of each colour. Later, they were given a value for each colour. From these values, they figured out the cost of their kite. They completed the task by writing a cheque in the amount of the kite value. Trying to fly the kite involved more problem solving and perseverance.

This is a powerful quote because this exemplifies Hassan being heroic through his loyalty for Amir. Hassan also was willing to do anything for Amir without expecting anything back from. Hassan also proved his heroism when he stood up for Amir against Assef: “If you make a move, they’ll have to change your nickname from ‘Assef the Ear Eater’ to ‘One Eyed Assef’, because I have this rock pointed at your left eye” (Hosseini, 45). This quote portrays Hassan’s heroism because Hassan stood up against Assef.

This is also important because Hassan is a Hazara and Assef is a Pashtun. Pashtuns are the higher class and have more authority over Hazaras. Even though Assef was older, stronger and a Pashtun, Hassan still stood up against him to protect Amir showcasing his heroism. This...
