Sacrifice
Amir is about to return to Kabul, Afghanistan to save Sohrab and risk everything, including his own life. This week's blog is about sacrifice. Respond to one of the options below:
a) Is Amir right or wrong to risk his life for Sohrab? Does it really change anything if he finds him and brings him to Pakistan?
b) Is there anyone you would risk everything for? What experiences with this person make you feel that way?

Life in general, is basically about taking risks. Sacrifice is also similar to taking risks. To be point blank and honest love is the only thing that can drive me to sacrificing something for someone. And yes, there is someone who I am willing to sacrifice anything and everything for (including my life). Unfortunately I am not in a position in which I can disclose this person’s name. However I am willing to share a few details and information about this person.
ReplyDeleteI met this person about seven months ago, but it feels like I have known her for all my life. From the day I met her we both felt connected. From that moment I knew that I had found something I had been searching for, for all my life. Normally I am not the type for a person to fall in love at first sight but evidently we both got stuck to each other like glue from the very time we laid eyes on each other. It is like we connected physically too. I liked the way here hand fits in mine. We have perfect height for each other. Her body size is perfect compared to the taste I have for women. But most of all I enjoy taking glances at the tiny gaps in between her teeth.
Now hitting the nail in its head, I am willing to sacrifice anything for this person. From the little things like time to the major things such as my life, I would, I will and I am giving to her. At times I cut my classes just to go and help her with her academic studies. I want nothing but success for the both of us therefore I will “sacrificing” my class time just to help her and to just be in her presence. I also recall coming from work one morning planning on spending the day in my bed, then she called and told me that she wanted to see me, honestly I was super tired but I had to “sacrifice” resting so that I could be with her. Furthermore I am willing to give up my life for her. I will take a bullet in my heart for her. And in the words of the famous words of Bruno Mars, “I’ll catch a grenade for her” but I KNOW she will do the same.
The well known Abraham Lincoln once said, “To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own” This quote basically means that in order to make someone happy one must do whatever it is that makes that person happy even if it means one having to do something they don’t like, and truly I am willing to do this for this person.
I’m going to start this blog by saying that the book The Kite Runner is one of the best book I’ve read doing my three years of high school. During the time I had spend reading this book, I always ask myself the question, why Amir never stood up for Hassan? Especially that day in the winter of 1975, when he witness his own brother get rape(note: Amir didn’t found out that Hassan was his brother until later on in the book)?
ReplyDeleteIs Amir right or wrong to risk his life for Sohrab? In my opinion I think it was the right thing that Amir did on his part. It was the right thing to do because this should been a opportunity for Amir to redeem himself after what he did to Hassan.I mean Hassan was being insulting by everyone that was A “Non-Hazara” or” anti-Hazara”, but the main person that cause the hardships that Hassan had face was Amir .From trying to get his father to fired Ali and Hassan to watching him get rape all the these problem was resulted from Amir not being their for Hassan when he really needed Amir. So the least that Amir could to make up for his sins is to do good by Adopting Hassan’s son Sohrab. There no way that Amir can not change what ever had happen in the past nor he can’t he bring back Hassan. I feel by him going back to Kabul to get Sohrab he can show the love and affection that he never show to his half brother, he can show to his half brother son.
If I had one person that I would risk anything for it would be for my mother. My mom is why I do the things I do she keeps me grounded like she set boundaries for me and my other four siblings. I don’t any major reason I would risk my life for my mother, but overall I love my mother that much that I willing to put my life on the lines for her.

The person I would risk everything for is my step mother I would give my life for her. Without her I don’t think I would be what I am today. The reason I feel this way is because my step mother been there from the beginning to the end she stuck by my side always. She stuck by my side through my wrongs and right, even when I got into some trouble she stuck by my side even if I was wrong. Another person I would risk my life for is my father I would give the world for my father. The reason I feel this way is because when I was little I might not have got everything that I wanted but my father did the best he could do with what he had and I am thankful for that.

I think Amir should risk his life for Sohrab just because of how close he and Hassan were. Amir should do it to get forgiveness although Hassan is dead. The reason I say this is because Amir was knocking everybody kite down and when his kite fell Hassan ran to get his kite and it took Hassan a while to come back so Amir went looking for him and Hassan was getting rape and Amir just stood there and watch him get raped and just walked away from him.
