The End.
" "For you a thousand times over," I heard myself say. Then I turned and ran. " (pg. 371) This quote is the one quote that stuck with me throughout the whole book. I underlined it in the first chapter because Hosseini starts out with this quote too and at the time, I had a feeling that it would play a big part in the book. My feeling was correct. This book starts off with Hassan saying this quote to Amir because he loved and cared about him. Hassan would do anything for Amir and saying this quote made him aware of that. In the same way, the book ends with this quote, but instead, Amir is saying it. He now wants to show that it is his turn to be the servant and he will now do anything for Sohrab. I love the ending to this book. Again, Hosseini uses a circle effect by starting and ending the book in the same setting. With all of the twists and turns in this book, it is hard to believe that one could make this happen, but he certainly did. The ending was very unexpected, but I feel that it was fitting. I wasn't disappointed nor did I feel the ending was too complicated. I felt like the ending was perfect and shouldn't have been done any other way. From this ending, the reader can imagine what will happen next because Amir ultimately is given the chance to redeem himself. I'mnot sure how Hosseini did it, but he took a bunch of random puzzle pieces and found ways to connect them that nobody else would dare to dream of. By doing this, he created my all time favorite book.
