追风筝的人

这本书，是在我十八岁生日的时候，被一个初中同学寄过来的，是她送给我的生日礼物。当时刚刚结束警训不久，各门课程的实训任务也都正在进行中。在日复一日的吐槽“时间去哪儿了”的日子里，就一直没有看它。而上学期的四个一工程时，又恰巧刚刚读完了《亲爱的安德烈》，也就失去了读它的唯一“借口”——毕竟它也不在各个老师的推荐书目之列。

是期末左右吧，实训差不多都结束了，进入复习阶段后学校、大队、区队的任务也变少了，于是就有了空闲的时间。或许是因为这本书的橙色外壳在书架里格外醒目，也或许是一学期下来想要放松一下，神不知鬼不觉的就开始看了。

当初是一气呵成，短短几天就看完了这本书。我有个不太好的习惯，会在遇到比较揪心的情节时不自觉的加快翻页的速度——大概是老妈看韩剧时不停快进的影响。然而，事实上——也是我内心所同意的，情节越是能揪你的心，你就越应该看它。我并没有接受正规的心理学培训，但是我认为，书中情节之所以能引发读者共鸣，就在与一个“共”字。无论你承认与否，当你因主角的无耻行径——暂且这么说，而产生的抵制情绪不单单针对主角其人，而是针对这一情节时，必然是在你记忆中的某一事件——某个你不愿承认且羞于承认的，与其存在着某方面的相似性，这是中潜意识的抵制。

一、“为你，千千万万遍”

在看完之后，开始回想整本书的内容，在脑海中最先浮现的自然

就是男主人公阿米尔。但是，在看完许久之后，再次回想。出现的确是哈桑——我相信还有许多人是与我一般的。

“为你，千千万万遍”

这是一句誓言啊。纵然他是主人，他是仆人；他是普什图，他是哈扎拉；他是逊尼派，他是什叶派。但这，无关乎所有的身份，许多人说“自他们出生的那一刻起，他们的命运就被这些他们所不能理解的标签所分隔开来??”在我看来，一切的一切又怎么抵得过那一句“为你，千千万万遍”。为此而羡慕阿米尔，因为我不曾拥有此番誓言；为此而痛恨阿米尔，因为他不曾回应此番誓言。

羡慕？痛恨？对于此般情感，又不得不承认在内心深处还存在着一份惧怕。若换了我，我能回应此番誓言嘛？我会如何回应？我又能否同样做到“为你，千千万万遍”？不敢给出一个肯定的答案。由此有联想到了我们这个年龄段的爱情，我若找到了女朋友，我能否给出“为你，千千万万遍”的誓言？一诺千金并不容易，要做一个遵守诺言的人，我想第一步当是能正确的给出诺言。

为你，追风筝。为你，被羞辱。为你，我离开。为你，千千万万遍。

二、“没有比盗窃跟十恶不赦的事情了”

近两米的身高，背后的三道狰狞疤痕，建立恤孤院的善良内心，由富裕变为贫困落魄后的转变，以及，他的“盗窃行为”与“盗窃论”??阿米尔的父亲的形象同样深深的烙印在了我的心里。

想写阿米尔父亲主要因为有那么一些片段，让我感觉把自己代入

了其中——或者说又那么一点点的感同身受。

有一个跟我们一直生活在一起的堂姐，大我两岁，她父母很早就离婚了都在外地。小时候老爸就是特宠我姐，有什么事情都要求我让着她。所以说，仔细想想的话，又是特能理解阿米尔——那种父爱被分割了的感觉已如此糟糕更遑论阿米尔眼中的父亲在乎阿桑更甚于他。

但是，知道了大背景的我们，又怎么会去斥责他呢。我不能想象出他内心的负罪感有多强，或者说没有？至死都没有告诉阿米尔真相又是为什么？真的是同拉辛汗所说的“那时，男人所仰仗的就是他的声誉、他的威名??”？那时是那时，在美国生活了这么久之后的他呢？有很多的疑问，欲细究而又不能，总是下意识的排斥去想一些负面的的东西，而妄图只保留人性美好的一面。

三、“哪儿，有再次成为好人的路”

一直都活在别人的世界中。

男主人公，阿米尔。幼年生活在家境富裕的阿富汗家庭中，因战乱辗转至美国，而后又为“赎罪”重返阿富汗。书中的他，一直都离不开上文所说的那两个人——哈桑跟父亲。而他，也一直活在这两个人的世界之中。

想把一切的好做给父亲看，想从各个方面获得优势比过哈桑，感觉阿米尔所做的一切都是为了父亲跟哈桑。前期的他，有人说是可恨的，也有人说是可悲的，也有人说是可怜的。都是负面的评价，因为他的确没做好啊，一直都生活在别人的世界中??

那儿，有再次成为好人的路。

后期的阿米尔，在经过在美国与父亲二人相依为命的苦困却又幸福的日子后，成长了。随着父亲的逝去与索拉雅的来临，也走出了他父亲的那个世界，但却一直未脱离哈桑的阴影，于是最终走上了那条“再次成为好人的路”。一扫当初的懦弱，他冲入了混乱无比的阿富汗。为了那自我的救赎。其实早就想要这份救赎了——要哈桑还手打他，在他看来，哈桑就是对他太好了，连让他愤怒的借口都没有却成为了他愤怒的借口。哪怕只是为哈桑档上几拳也是好的，但哈桑却已经被杀死，幸好还有索拉博的存在，于是“被阿塞夫打的嘴唇开裂、肋骨一根根断掉的时候，他感到前所未有的痛快和轻松，以致于情不自禁的大笑起来。”

“当罪行导致善行，那就是真正的获救”。拉辛汗所说的这句话是足以救赎了阿米尔与其父亲两个人的。而对我们来说又何尝不是呢？没有人敢说从未“为恶”，那么我们对此的态度应是怎样的？让罪行带来善行，真正的救赎就在于此。

故事的结局很平淡，一如全文的创作风格——真实而朴素的文字。且借用《水牛城新闻》的书评作为这篇读书报告的结尾“小说的高潮如此残忍又如此美丽，令人不忍揭露，作者以恩典与救赎勾勒生命圆满循环的功力展露无遗。一部极具疗愈力量的恢弘文学作品”。

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.

Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shi'a Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amir's school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amir's house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.

The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseini's deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amir's closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amir's father's servant and a member of Afghanistan's despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabul's annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.

Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amir's equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shah's 40-year reign and traces the country's fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When

Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassan's orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.

The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States

in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central

image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

For You, a Thousand Times over

I am convinced that few books are as good as this one. To be honest, I hadn’t maintained that this book would appeal me before I read it. However, I was absorbed in the book from the first chapter to the last one. Why this book has appealed to me that much? I asked myself. This book is not my type of reading for only romantic books could draw my attention successfully. Then I came into a conclusion that it is the friendship and familyship fascinated me.

To the world you are one person, but to the person who loves you, you are the world. Amir was Hassan’s world. Amir’s name had been the first word Hassan spoke. Hassan threatened brutal Assef for the sake of Amir. Hassan never failed to run the kite to please Amir. Hassan sacrificed himself for Amir’s house. These are more than a friend would do. Only those who loves you so much could challenge himself to do what Hassan did to Amir.To Hassan, Amir was not only a mere friend but a brother. He loved Amir more than anything else. Even after Amir betrayed him, he still told his son proudly“Agan Amir is my best friend”.Maybe for Hassan “for you, a thousand times over” has another meaning, which is not just kite running for Amir but he will do anything for Amir.

If Hassan could be described as an angel, then Amir was just a person. I did hate Amir for he watched Hassan be raped and did nothing, for he made Hassan leave his born-place, for he aimed Hassan with fruit（even though he actually tried to make himself get punished）. Amir didn’t deserve what Hassan did to him. I thought his meanness caused Hassan’s tragedy. But after I finished the book, I realized it is not Hassan’s tragedy, it is Amir’s. For what he had done to Hassan, he had led a live with regret and suffered endless sleepless nights. His going back to

Afghanistan is not only a journey physically but a journey to atonement. Hassan’s son, his nephew saved, Amir’s sin was finally washed. Like the life of circle, Amir ran kite for his miserable nephew.As Hassan did to him, he said “for you , a thousand times over” to Sohrab.Though the book doesn’t give us an accurate ending whether Sohrab came into life again. I am sure love can cure everything. Only when Sohrab lives a happy life as Hassan hoped can Amir’s sin washed up. The friendship between Hassan and Amir moved me. I believe All the people who read it is going to be touched just as I am. This book does make me think the good and the bad ,what’s

wrong and what’s right, the cruelty of war . Few books can exert an influence on people nowadays, this book sure does.
