RAFT 3: Interview with Rahim Khan

Rahim Khan is an elderly man and resident of Peshawar who has gone through many things in recent years, now lives where his late business partner used to live. He takes very good care of this house, but he regrets to inform us that he does not know how long it will last due to an untreated illness. After listening to his story we went to his well-kept house to ask for an interview and we got many honest answers.

What makes the Taliban take charge of such a personal issue for you?

Since I was young, I grew up with two men Hazara, Ali and Baba, who have been like brothers to me. I have received kindness from many other Hazara people too. Baba and I also had the luck to rub shoulders with influential public figures, such as the prime minister. We had even made a name for ourselves in Afghanistan as The Businessmen. But when the Taliban arrived and took over, Baba and his son were forced to flee to America. They were forced to leave everything they had built for them. I, however, did not have a family to care for, so I stayed to take care of the house. …show more content…
When the Taliban controlled the Soviets of Kabul, Afghanistan was a different place. We felt freedom while the parades marched through the streets, but we quickly realized that we were all very hopeful and celebrated too soon. They did not want to support the Afghans, they wanted to terrorize and kill people. Innocent people. Three of which were my friend, his son and his daughter-in-law, and he kills me every day thinking that I'll never see them

    Afghanistan By Choice Rhetorical Analysis

    What would a person do if his or her child asks, “Will you make it back home tonight?” The easy answer would be to leave his or her country, but that decision is not simple. Afghans center their life on their culture, family, and friends so it is not easy for them to leave their homeland. In the New York Times Op-Docs series “Afghanistan by Choice,” the film director, Alexandria Bombach, appeals to pathos through the juxtaposition of settings and individuals. Her emphasis on pathos conveys the difficulty of leaving one’s country, thus abandoning his or her lifestyle; furthermore, the film director hopes to show the audience why leaving is such a hard decision for Afghans to make.…

    TORONTO- It’s been two years since National Day of Honour was declared on May 9th, 2014 to honour and remember Canada’s mission in Afghanistan and to remember those who were killed and wounded during this time.

    Morality In The Kite Runner By Khaled Hosseini

    Morality is one’s sense of right and wrong, but it is not something one is born with. Rather it is something he or she could learn over time. People go through life learning morality from his/her family, friends and his/her own personal mistakes. However, in some cases morality is never taken into consideration when faced with decisions that may lead to life changing consequences. In the novel, The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini argues that one’s social status affects his/her sense of right and wrong.…
