While reading The Kite Runner, I have had a few reactions to the text. One of my reactions is being shocked about the rape of Hassan in chapter 6. After Hassan retrieved the flag he was soon cornered by Assef and his two other bully friends. They told him to give the flag to them but he refused so they began to assault him then rape him. It was very disturbing to read.
A personal connection that I can make with some characters is how Amir is always trying to please his father. Throughout the story, Amir is always trying to do what his father wants him to do and tries to make himself look good in his father's eyes. I can relate to this because that is the case with me sometimes. Sometimes I focus too much on trying to please my parents.

When Amir blames Hassan for stealing the watch, Hassan admits to it even thought he didn't. He did this because he knows Amir watched the rape happen. The text never says how he found out. The cultural lens that I have decided to analyze is father and son relationships. In the Kite

Amir's parents were happily married. His mom was a joy in Baba's life. This all changed when she died giving birth to their son, Amir. "I always felt like Baba hated me a little. And why not? After all I did kill his beloved wife, his beautiful princess, hadn't I?" While giving birth to his child she died and that created a hole in Baba's life that immediately put pressure on Amir to fill. We can tell from the text that the death of Amir put a strain on the relationship between Baba and Amir. It also caused
Amir to try to please Baba to make up for the death of his mother. Also, Baba is always trying to teach Amir his wise ways. "Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin,
