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?
c) What is the greatest sacrifice you have ever made? Why was it a major sacrifice, and what made you decide to do what you did?
According to wikipedia.org and other defintion sites, "sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals or people to the gods as an act of propitiation or worship." I have too made many sacrifices in my life like Amir is doing for Hassan's son Sohrab. I believe the most greatest sacrifice that I had made in my life was when I convent to Christianity when I was 11 years old. I didn't know at the time because my mother and I convent at the same time to the church we currently attending now, however, now that I'm older, I realized that moment was the greatest sacrifice in my life.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is a major sacrifice because I am giving my life to Jesus and I am now a Christian, or a follower of the teaching of Jesus Christ. I had to give up my unsaved life in order to be closer to God. I had to give up the sinful things I did when I was out in the world. I knew of Jesus and God however, I didn't have a close relationship to God that I needed in life. When I gave Christ my life, my life had changed for the better. Even though I gave Christ my life, I didn't see a major change until a few days ago. I attend this gospel concert Saturday that make my realized how much God changed my life. It also make me realized that it was such a huge sacrifice to give God my life. I now see things differently and have friends that benefit my life and not harm my life. I had to give up my "friends" who were fake and didn't have any postive impact on my life.
At the time, I didn't decide that I wanted Christ in my life. It was mostly my mother's choice because I didn't understand at the time to "give you life over to Christ" or "turn your life over to Christ." I finally made the choice to give Christ my life when I had to know what it baptism mean and not being the "old Christal" who use to be very sinful, etc. I said yes when the teacher ask me do I really want to give my life over to Christ. That moment and the moment when I was baptize when I came up as a "new creation." I knew that this was what I wanted and this was a huge sacrifice in my life.
b) Is there anyone you would risk everything for? What experiences with this person make you feel that way?
ReplyDeleteYes, I Would Risk Everything For my Mother , Sisters or Brothers. My Mother is the person who created me. She is the only person that will look out for me and make sure i live my life the right way. My mother is the reason i was able to experience any and everything i have experienced. I Would give anything for her.
I Feel that that i am responsible for the well being of my siblings; Not because i am the oldest but because we all came from the same mother. My siblings look up to me and expect to learn there ways of life from me. If anything was to ever happen where i would have to give up my life for them i would. If i had A Last Dollar it would be given to them. i would hive them my last drop of water if i had to.
c) What is the greatest sacrifice you have ever made? Why was it a major sacrifice, and what made you decide to do what you did?
The Greatest Sacrifice i ever made was to Get hit by a car to save a Little Girl. There was a little girl crossing the street and was almost hit by a Van. I was able to run and grab her and was hit as i pushed her away. I wasnt Hurt But she could've Been hurt. I Felt that i had to do that because that could've been one of my siblings and i would want someone to help them. It was the right thing to do and i happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Sometimes it is necessary to make sacrifices. Some people dont because they feel they shouldn't put themselves in any disadvantage for anyone. When you bless someone a blessing comes back to you. I Risk things out of the love in my heart and because it just feels like the right thing to do.
In The Kite Runner Amir is risking his safety to save his half-brother‘s son, Sohrab. Depending on the individual Amir may be right and he may be wrong; giving my own opinion I believe he is right because he believes and knows that he will be doing good if he finds Sohrab and saves him. Paying no attention to the reason why he chooses to do good puts him in the right but deliberating the rationale puts him in the wrong.
ReplyDeleteAmir putting himself at risk to save a child from a “raped” country is brave. Amir puts his family in California on hold so he can atone for his sins and redeem himself, which is selfish, however he is still determined to find Sohrab despite his encounters. Amir sacrifices his luxuries for Sohrab. He lived peacefully with his wife in California now he faces the “true Afghan” life, which is nothing like his life in Afghanistan when he was younger. The towns are mostly full of women and children, the quantity of deaths is great, children and their families are starving, the buildings and houses look like ruins, and worst of all the Taliban is the oppressor of the Afghans, committing the “greatest sin,” theft. Amir putting himself at risk for another person is morally good. The fact that Amir steadily goes on his journey for his nephew despite the danger he faces makes it right. Because he decides to leave his family behind for the well being of another makes him right. Despite his cowardice he faces his fear and continues looking for Sohrab.
However his motive for searching for Sohrab is not right. Instead of saving a child so they will not be in danger or saving Hassan’s son because he is his nephew, he wants to save him so he can redeem himself, which is selfish. Since it is a request from Rahim Khan to retrieve Sohrab that would make it a right motive; to carry out the duty of a dying man. In my opinion doing the right thing because of the wrong reasons still makes the doing morally good.

ReplyDeleteI feel that Amir is wrong to risk everything even his life for Sohrab because he has a family back home and he should not make his family worry about his well being and he would not be able to enjoy his new life he started in America. Also he risks everything his wife would be a widow and might have to move on to another man and lives would have to change. Even though I do feel it’s not a good idea to go and get Sohrab, I feel like moving Sohrab is protecting his life because he would not hunted down by the Taliban’s and he would have a secure place to live with Rahim Khan. I know that Sohrab is part of his family but still as of now amir does not know where he is and it might me a long time tell he finds him and Sohrab could get up dead and people know or thinks that he is killed by a Taliban that bought him. You never know what will or could happen to Sohrab, the Taliban’s would attack Afghans just for cheering to laugh at a game or do worst, it’s like you can not leave your life the way you want it. The Talibs feel like they have all the power of the Afghans but the actually does not because the Afghans are people just like them and they live the same lifestyle but in different ways. If on some stroke of luck Sohrab is found alive and Amir gets a chance to leave Kabul; with him then everything would be alright and Amir could take him in and raise him like his own child. Even though Sohrab is not Amir’s child he is still family and of course family takes cares of family and I think Amir has no choose but to risk everything to protect Sohrab. Protecting Sohrab is helping Amir fix his past with Hassan and clear his soul for all the right that he had no control over. So Air is doing the right thing but in a wrong way because He will risk everything just for family he hardly knows but is still family to him.
Sacrifices are things that people make in order to save or help the ones that they care about or even love. Some people may find that making sacrifices can be difficult but others may effortlessly make sacrifices for the ones that they deeply care about. I feel that making sacrifices is a way of atoning for past sins or in my case, giving someone a chance.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest sister is six years old. During the time she was born my grandfather grew ill and my parents had to take care of my sallow grandfather. Since I am the eldest sister, I was to take care of my infant sister during the times my parents would leave to take care of my grandfather. They left every day. Every day I would take care of my sister. She was about 3 weeks old during this time. I would change her diapers and feed her a bottle almost every 5 hours. Whenever she cried I came running into the room to comfort her. Sometimes she would cry at night and I would let her sleep in my bed with me. My sister would lie on top of me and I can feel the warm breath of my sister as she breaths in and out. It was a comforting feeling for both me and her. I felt connected to her. She sometimes called me “mommy” and sometimes I believed that she was my child too. I was weak for my little sister, my pretend daughter.
Although I do not like spoiling children, I would do anything for my little sister. I love to see her smile because it makes me feel good inside. I’ll make any sacrifice necessary for her. I am even willing to give up my life in order to allow her to live. I had the opportunity to live longer than my sister. I feel that she deserves to live as long as I. I want my little sister, my pretend daughter, to have the same opportunities that I have received and maybe one day grow better than me. The future generation always has to be better than the previous to show progress and for things overall to be better.
I believe that Amir is right to sacrifice his life for Sohrab and risk everything, including his own life. Hassan treated Amir with nothing but love and undeniable loyalty; unlike Amir, who always did things to Hassan to hurt him and make him feel stupid. I believe that If Amir was a better person all around and especially to Hassan that Hassan would have lived in America and would have a good life like Amir and he would not have been judged because he is a Hazara. Amir is a very selfish person and always looked out for himself and gaining Baba’s approval. I believe the least Amir could do is save Hassan’s only son from growing up in a life of terror and destruction. Hassan got killed because he was protecting Baba’s home; once again Hassan gets hurt because he’s trying to be loyal. For all the times that Hassan has put his life on the line and taken Amir’s place so he wouldn’t get hurt; the least Amir could do is help Hassan this one time. To me Amir shouldn’t even think about helping Hassan and He should just do it. Because Hassan is dead, the best way to help him is by making sure his child is taken care of in a healthy and good place. I believe that if Hassan was the one who had the choice to help Amir or not he would help him with no questions asked, even with their harsh past. Also, it does change things if Amir finds Sohrab and brings him back to Pakistan because Sohrab is almost guaranteed a better life there and a lot of guiltiness would be off of Amir. Basically in a nutshell I believe Amir should go get Sohrab and not only get and him and bring him to Pakistan but get him and take him to America because most likely he would have a better life there. He would be in place where no one would care if he was a Hazara and he wouldn’t be in a place with constant war. Amir can’t have kids with his wife, so he might as well.
ReplyDeleteI am responding to the second blog topic b) Is there anyone you would risk everything for? What experiences with this person make you feel that way?
ReplyDeleteThe Person that I would risk everything for is My Close Friend Seanika Fleming, the experiences I had with her that makes me feel this way is that she has a good heart and she always cheers me up when I’m feeling down and when I need advice she always there for me. I have known seanika for almost two years now and she always had my back all the way. I call her my R.O.D and what that means is Ride Or Die she holds a permanent and special place in my heart that no one can replace I would do anything for her and she would do anything for me, I love her very much and she has great qualifications of being a friend.Everytime were together we always have a good time together and she is great company to keep, I also get along very well with her family and siblings which is also a good thing in a friend ship I think that seanika is a good influence on me because she is not a trouble kind of girl and she never looks for trouble and she always stays to herself and never does bad things, she also not disrespectful and she has a good heart on her shoulders.Seanika is very bright and I think she is a good friend to me, we never argue or fight with one another and we always compromise with each other and that’s what a friendship is based upon. Most importantly I can trust her and trust is a big feeling to have for someone. She never ever lied to me and she is very Hilarious in many ways’ know a lot about seanika,she is 15 years old and her nationality is grenading.She lives in east new York, and she goes to Frederick Douglass academy 7 high school with me.Everytime I see her I always have a smile on my face and to see her brightens my day.

ReplyDeleteTo make a sacrifice is when one gives up something for the sake of someone else. Every individual has a special person whom he/she will sacrifice everything for. I have a particular person that I will sacrifice everything for. I will sacrifice everything for my six year old sister.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I have bonded together ever since she was 2 weeks old. In June of 2004 my little sister was born. During the birth of my sister, my grandfather grew ill. My parents were the only ones who would take care of my grandfather, so my mother left me and my siblings alone in the house with my 16 year old brother. Although I was the 3rd oldest, I was put in charge of my baby sister. In 2004 I was only nine years old. I didn’t know much about taking care of a baby but I learned. I fed my sister her bottle every 5 hours and changed her every time she wet her diapers. I always took care of my baby sister and was the only one of my siblings who knew how to take care of her. No one in my house knew how to stop her from crying. I was the only one who knew how to silence my baby sister during the night time. I would take her out of her crib and allow her to lie on top of me. I felt closer to her every night she would lie on top of me. I would sometimes feel her tiny heart beats; it brings me a lot of joy hearing those heart beats.
Those nights I’ve spent with my little sister brought me closer to her. It made me feel more responsible. My little sister made me feel like her mother. I was almost convinced that I was her mother because she used to always call me “mom”. I would sacrifice anything and everything for my little sister. She is much younger than I am. She didn’t have the chance to do most of the things I had the opportunity to do. Most mothers would sacrifice everything for their daughter; I will sacrifice everything for my sister, my daughter.

ReplyDeleteIn his past, Amir has done many wrong things. He has made wrong decisions and handles situations in the wrong way. Rahim Khan was sure to remind Amir of this as he asked him to take that journey to Kabul. If it was me who had to attest for the wrong I have done I would do whatever it takes. You always have to make things right especially before it becomes too late. At first Amir doesn’t want to go but he eventually came around and decided to go.
I believe it is right for Amir to risk his life for Sohrab. Sohrab is just a young child and doesn’t deserve to go through any means of torture. Amir is the only one that can claim him as a family member. Hassan and Farazana were killed and Sohrab is now an orphan. If Amir didn’t find out that Hassan was his half brother, I don’t believe he would have risked his life for Sohrab. But the fact that Sohrab is so innocent and Amir sees Hassan’s features in him he knows he must step up and make a sacrifice to save the young boy’s life. Sohrab deserves to have a happy and free childhood.
All his life Amir has carried the guilt of what he has let happen to Hassan and has protested himself about the fact that he just sat there and let it happen. This is his chance to redeem himself and clear his conscience. It may not change a lot but it would make up for something that Amir would find the boy and bring him to Pakistan. Amir not going would have made him heartless, inconsiderate, and selfish but he chose to push aside his fears and do what he knew was right. He was justified in his decision to sacrifice his life to save Sohrab. He knew what he was getting himself into and he knew it wouldn’t be easy but he did it anyway. He is now taking control of his life and not letting his life run him. Even when he sees the change he doesn’t turn back. This is something Amir needs to do to benefit himself and Sohrab.

ReplyDeleteWell Amir did abandon is only sibling in Afghanistan as it all fell into the brink of hell. And he did witness Hassan get raped and not stop the rape in anyway besides watch it. I say it he is basically forced to go to Afghanistan for all the past sins he’s done to Hassan. Sohrab is the only thing that represents Hassan and if Amir doesn’t save him, Amir might just lose the last memory Hassan has given. I’m not saying this to get Amir killed, I’m saying this because it’s the right thing to do and you can’t just leave your own brother’s son left for dead in a the most dangerous place in Afghanistan. Amir pretty much owes Hassan for his dedicated loyalty, Hassan for all those years still watched over Baba’s house until executed by the Taliban. Even when Amir lied on Hassan, Hassan took the blame for Hassan knowing he would get in-trouble with Baba. To me, bring Sohrab would probably some thing, Hassan never wanted Sohrab to be an orphan and I think Amir is doing Hassan a favor to make sure he doesn’t die and orphan. Amir has been in America for 20 years while Hassan has been living in a warzone between citizens and Taliban. No peace has ever been in Afghanistan since so many military groups keep trying to dominate it. Amir has had it easy for most of his life since he grew up wealthy and away from the action and before Amir knew Hassan was his brother, Hassan was Amir Servant. Amir really does owe Hassan for what he did for him most of his life, Hassan even saved Amir from a Sociopath that wanted to beat them both up by lining up his deadly slingshot. Hassan also does most of the cooking around the house and cleaning. Without Hassan, Amir would probably be completely lost in life and would never knew what life truly was in Afghanistan or to have some as a brother like Hassan, since Hassan is the most loyal person anyone could find.

ReplyDeleteA simple definition of sacrifice is to give up something for the sake of something else, whether it is for another human life, for an idea, or even for a belief. The greatest sacrifice I have ever made is losing my precious skateboard to help an old woman with her unbearable load of groceries. It happened in the summer of 2006 when me along with some of my friends were skateboarding in front of my apartment building. As usual we popped sidewalk ollies, grinded rails, and cracked taunting jokes at one another. Just another typical summer day. Out of nowhere some young men who seem to be in their early twenties approached us and demanded our phones, music players, and skateboards. We refused. The landlord in my apartment building spotted the conflict and immediately rushed to our aid. He cursed at the ruthless young men who in return cursed back at him but with more hurtful words. They soon left after the landlord told them he was going to call the police. We returned to our skateboarding and jokes telling like nothing had happened. Dark hovered over the sky and before I knew it, the streetlights were on. My friends started departing one after the other until I was the only one skateboarding in the dark. Under a distant streetlight I saw an old lady who lived on the fourth floor of my apartment building. In her hands were four plastic bags packed with groceries mainly vegetables and wheat breads. I rushed to help. I took three of her four bags and brought them to the elevator door. We waited for a while then it became obvious that the elevator was broken as usual. Without thinking I helped the old lady up the stairs with her groceries not remembering I had left my skateboard outside. She thanked me for my kind deed when we reached her apartment and soon I journeyed back down the stairs. I then remembered I had left my skateboard outside and so I rushed to get it. The sight that came to my eyes was unbelievable and mind-blowing. From the lobby I spotted a skateboard broken in half on the sidewalk. I rushed to confront my worst fear when I saw the same young men who had approached me and my friends earlier walking away from the crime scene. I wanted to confront them and ask them why did they destroyed my skateboard but the feeling of getting beat up rushed through my body. Yes I was a wimp and I still am. I sobbed for days for my beloved skateboard and wished I had not helped the old lady with her groceries. However, as I grew older I realized that in life you have to give up valuable things in order to get something else. I gave up my precious skateboard so I could get the respect and gratitude from an old lady I barely knew.
Yes Amir is right in going back to Afghanistan to save Sohrab risking everything including his own life because he owes Hassan a great dept for the pain and agony he caused him and Ali several years prior to this. Going back to complete Rahim Khans dying wish would atone for Amir’s lifetime of sins and lies. Returning to Kabul for Sohrab shows a new found courage and strength that Amir has never seemed to possess before in his life. Baba and Hassan would be very impressed and gratified that Amir made the decision to go back to save the life of such a young talented boy with so much potential if they were alive. If Amir chose not to save Sohrab he could truly be characterized by the reader as a selfish individual with no remorse for the wrong he has done. Throughout the childhood of Hassan and Amir Hassan has always served as Amir’s protector always showing a passion for his well being that Amir hardly ever reciprocated. This is see in the scene where Hassan is being raped in the alley by Assef and his two other accomplices, and instead of Amir helping or going to get help he left Hassan to fend for himself. The decision to leave Hassan has haunted Amir for his entire life and with this opportunity to save Hassan’s sons life he can finally relieve some of the weight on his chest. Amir never got the chance to reconcile their broken relationship but in saving Sohrab he could allow Hassan’s legacy as well as Babas to live on because he is the only offspring from the family. At this point in Amir’s life he has already graduated from college, found his talent, married, and had a successful writing career and overall life Sohrab has not had the opportunity to live his life because he is still just a young child. By saving Sohrab’s life Amir will be allowing him to experience his life to the fullest and he will also have the opportunity to be successful like his uncle.
ReplyDeleteIn The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, sacrifice and redemption play major roles in this text. The main character Amir can be seen throughout the whole book trying to find redemption for sins he allowed to take place. He also deals with the sacrifices he allowed to happen in his life. For example he stood there while his closest friend was sexually assaulted by three of the neighborhood bullies. He did not intervene and that led to his friend Hassan being scarred for life. Everything in Amir’s life was affected by his choice to not help Hassan. The idea of the sacrificial lamb also comes about in this text; they usually use this metaphor when referring to Hassan and Sohrab. This lamb is a symbol of innocence which is both shown when representing Hassan and Sohrab. They are both innocent and never do any wrong. For Rahim Khan’s dying wish he asked Amir to receive Sohrab from an orphanage in Pakistan at first Amir denies but upon finding out that Hassan is actually his half- brother Amir offers to help find Sohrab. Amir travels to Kabul and is shocked to see what his hometown looks like. He is also shocked to find out that the Taliban have taken over the country and brought it to ruins. The idea of sacrifice in this text starts with Amir sacrificing Hassan to Assef and his evil friends. He does this by not standing up for him in his time of need. He allows Hassan to be assaulted by Assef and his friends. He just stood in the shadows and allowed his closest friend to be horribly brutalized. Another sacrifice he had to make was his own safety when going to Pakistan to save Sohrab. He gave up his own freedom and tranquility for this one little boy. At the time he did not know that this was his half-nephew. He just thought that this was Hassan’s son. He felt as though he owed Hassan this much for allowing him to be raped in that alley many years ago. He believes that if he does this he will find redemption for his sins. In the end he does but Sohrab is never the same because of all the torture that was inflicted upon him.
ReplyDeleteI think that amir did the right thing by sacrificing his life for shorab. first of I think that amir owed it to sohrab because it was his own fault that the had to do this is the first place. If he had not lied in the beginning or watched hassan get raped he would not feel the need to reedem himself ultimitly in the end it all comes back to him. I also think that I really dosent matter in the end because sohrab is still going to be a parentless and its always going to be amirs fault.
ReplyDeleteIn a way Sohrab doesn’t have a life because his life was demolished the moment the Taliban killed his parents. I think it is ironic that Hassan sacrificed himself to save his home and family only for Sohrab to be sacrificed anyway in an almost worse way than Hassan. Hassan was raped once while Sohrab had been sexually abused time after time. Amir in Afghanistan was the rich, spoiled brat the manipulating half of Baba, while Hassan was the good, humble, loyal, righteous half of Baba. In America, Amir is no longer rich and spoiled I think this then causes him to man up and take responsibility for his actions instead of letting hassan take the blame.
At the beginning of the novel, I think the kite symbolizes Amir’s happiness. He looks forward to kite running the entire season not only because of his connection with Baba but because he’s good at it. Once he see’s Hassan be raped the kite turns to guilt. And then he does not even touch a kite till he flies it with sohrab. I think at the end of the novel the kite symbolized redemption. Amir races after the kite telling Hassan’s son he would get it for him “for you a thousand times over.” I think that showed that his guilt is gone and that he has found redemption. So I think it was important for amir to sacrifice his life if not he would of still felt guilt and sohrab would of stil been in silence and amir and sohrab would not have the father son relationship they have now.
I chose letter c which is "What is the greatest sacrifice you have ever made? Why was it a major sacrifice, and what made you decide to do what you did?".
ReplyDeleteThe biggest sacrifice that i would say i have ever made would be when i had to change my ways during the ages i was in 4th and 5th grade. During those two school years, i wouldn't say bad but i wasn't too great. My grades were good but i seemed to have a smart mouth and i didn't know how to control it. With this it led me into many fights and suspensions which was a bad look on my permanent record. Whenever I felt disrespected on came at, I always came back harder and had to get the last word which was a big problem. I even told people how I felt about them to their face like If felt someone was ugly, I would tell them and it was really mean of me. During these years, I really thought that I knew it all and I walked around with that attitude. i knew that this wasn't going to look good in the future so i made a change. I sacrificed my (gangster) image and smart mouth for a better future and image. Also, this helped me with being in a lot of drama. So when I was promoted to the 6th grade and i attended my new school (Frederick Douglass Academy 8) , i had a whole new attitude and it was the right attitude. I experienced hardly any drama in that school. I learned to keep certain mean comments to myself and not to let others get the best of me. With that, i successfully attended that school for three years and engaged in zero fights. And with this new change of attitude, till this day i never went back to my old ways really and i am doing well as a good, young and intelligent young woman.
Without this change, i feel and truly believe that i probably would have gotten an worst attitude. I may have gathered up a lot of beef towards myself. I am so glad that i made this sacrifice before it was to late though. I definitely know that i wouldn't have accomplished all of the things that i have without this and that is why i am truly grateful. :)
Amir is about to return to Kabul, Afghanistan to save Sohrab and risk everything, including his own life. I believe it is a very positive thing for him to go do, and a very brave idea at that. Part of me believes that it would not make much of a change from what’s happening in Kabul, Amir own memories, or Hassan life. But it would be a change in Sohrab future to come to America. The reason that it would not make a difference in Kabul, is because it isn’t like he’s going to run for president, or he is going to try and assassinate all of the Taliban he see. Besides they are too powerful and too many for just one man to fight. Even if he was to kill the Taliban there would be a change, but it would not be for the better. In fact more destruction would be cause by the other Taliban people that were not killed. I personally would not go down there to Afghanistan ready to kill off a lot of evil people neither; I would just go for the boy and try my best to come back alive, because at the end of the day it is the right thing to do. Another reason why I think it is right but would not make a difference for Amir to go get Sohrab is because it would not change his childhood memories. The main reason why Amir is going to go find his nephew Sohrab is because he still feels guilty after all these years about not stopping Assef from rapping Hassan. But it honestly could not be any different because Hassan is not alive for him to tell him he is truly sorry. So he believes that risking his life to take Hassan son in would make a difference, but it’s right and even better for trying. The main reason why he should go and get Sohrab is because he can make a difference in his future, and that would be the best thing to do, the right thing to do
