The Kite Runner: Journal Prompt 2

Dear Amir… Hello. I am a student who is reading The Kite Runner. I just wanted to advise you with some problems you had. There are two best solutions for you that I have in mind. First, your wife has a problem with unexplained infertility. It is a really big problem because you both wanted a child. I was thinking about what I would do if I was in your shoes. If I was in your shoes, I would go see for adoption. I know that you did not like the idea for your family to adopt a child, and I know it may be a very hard decision to make, but it is going to be a really good decision. Adopting a child is same as saving one life. I think that the characteristic of a person is developed as he or she grows up, so do not worry about the characteristic of the child. The physical appearance will not bother you if you really want and love your baby.

Next, the biggest problem is that you did not tell Soraya about the betray that you made to Hassan. I think the worst choice that you can make to a person that you love is lying. Lying and not being honest about anything can be really critical to the relationship between you and Soraya. Little lying can make someone to lie to recover that lie, and the bad cycle keeps going on. I think you should tell Soraya honestly, and you should respect the choice that she will be making.
