## Who's at fault Amir or his father? 💡

I want to share my thoughts about a book that I recently read, called "The Kite Runner". This novel by Khaled Hosseini is a powerful and moving story about love, friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of Afghanistan's tumultuous history.

The story is narrated by Amir, a young boy from Kabul, who befriends his servant's son, Hassan. The two boys are inseparable and share a love for kite flying, which is a popular sport in Afghanistan. However, their friendship is tested when Amir fails to stand up for Hassan when he is brutally attacked by bullies. This act of betrayal haunts Amir for years, even after he and his father flee to America to escape the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Years later, Amir receives a chance to redeem himself when he learns that Hassan's son is in danger and sets out to rescue him. Along the way, Amir confronts his past and comes to terms with the guilt he has carried with him for so long.

What I loved about this book was the way it transported me to a different time and place. The descriptions of Kabul and Afghanistan's landscape were vivid and brought the story to life in my mind. The characters were well-developed and complex, each with their own strengths and flaws. I found myself deeply invested in their stories and rooting for them throughout the book.

The themes of the book are universal and timeless, making it a must-read for anyone who enjoys stories about human relationships, courage, and redemption. The Kite Runner is a book that will stay with me for a long time, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotional read.

Until next time,

## And in that moment, I swear we were infinite!
I recently read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. As a first-person narrative, this book is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Through the eyes of the protagonist, Charlie, readers are taken on a journey of emotions and experiences that are both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

The story starts with Charlie entering his freshman year of high school. Charlie is a socially awkward and introverted teenager who struggles to make friends and fit in with his peers. He is a wallflower, someone who observes the world around him but doesn't participate in it. However, things start to change for Charlie when he meets Sam and Patrick, two seniors who take him under their wing and introduce him to their world of music, books, and parties.

Throughout the book, Charlie's character evolves as he navigates the ups and downs of adolescence. He develops close relationships with Sam and Patrick and falls in love with Sam, but he also faces difficult experiences such as the loss of his aunt and his own struggles with mental health. As the story progresses, Charlie's diary entries become more intense and personal, and the reader gets a glimpse into the depths of his emotions and his struggles with trauma and mental illness.

One of the things I loved about this book was the way it explores the complexity of human emotions. The author does an excellent job of portraying the rawness and vulnerability of teenage life, and the struggles that come with it. The book also addresses important issues such as abuse, drug use, and mental health in a sensitive and nuanced way.

Overall, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" is a beautifully written book that captures the essence of what it means to be a teenager. It's a story about finding your place in the world and coming to terms with who you are, flaws and all. It's a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit in, and it's a testament to the power of friendship, love, and self-acceptance. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys coming-of-age stories and wants to be moved by a powerful and heartfelt narrative.
