What is the significance of the quote "Afghanistan is for pashtuns"? on page 40.
ReplyDeletewell Eli that quote is significant because the country is changing with the republic and he is trying to voice his opinion about what he think about the Hazaras and that the country is trying to get rid of them. Also the quote is significant because it puts Hassan's future in question.
DeleteI felt like they where Chinese because Baba in Chinese means father
ReplyDeleteHow did you know that
DeleteI am in Chinese 2

Deletemaybe he took Mandarin Chinese
Delete#replyception
Deletebut we know that they live in Afghanistan and that they have a family heritage in Afghanistan so how could they be Chinese?
DeleteOh okay
DeleteMaybe there family heritage is from there family immigrating from China and living in Afghanistan for many years
Delete.How come Baba had such a passion to build an orphanage?
ReplyDeleteI do believe Baba has a warmhearted soul. I do believe they will touch on it in the near future.
DeleteI think he did this because he watched his wife die during birth, which is quite common in less wealthy countries. So I think this is why he has a soft spot for orphans.
DeleteThat is a good explanation
DeleteWhy did the bike fall over?
ReplyDeleteWhat page?
DeleteBecause it was two tired!
DeleteThe fact that Hasaan and Amir are friends will probably end bad because other people will target Amir because he is friends with Hasaan.
ReplyDeletei didn't finish the reading. what happened in chapter 6?
ReplyDeleteWhat do clocks do when they're hungry?
ReplyDeleteThey go back four seconds!
DeleteDoes tree represents Hassan and Amir's friendship?
ReplyDeleteOh wow Jack great question. I do believe it does. Just the scene represents there friendship. You get that there friends and having a great moment, but when Amir says "I can convince him to shoot walnuts and the one eyed German Shepard" as you can see Hassan will do it, but is it because he's Amirs slave, or his friend? I believe there friends.
DeleteYes because they always go up and throw rocks at the other houses
DeleteOr walnuts
DeleteWhy does Amir think that he caused the death of his mother?
ReplyDeletefirst comment
DeleteHe believes that because his mother died giving birth to him.
Deletebecause his mother died while giving birth to him, so he thinks it's his fault

ReplyDeleteHow will Amir and Hassan's separate Muslim faiths affect their friendship?
ReplyDelete-How do the relationships that Amir has with others effect who he is?
ReplyDeleteWhy does Baba seem to prefer Hassan over his son?
ReplyDeleteBecause he thinks that Amir killed his wife during birth and deep down is mad at him
DeleteWhy does Hassan never tell on Amir when they get in trouble with Hassans dad for throwing the walnuts?
ReplyDeleteI realize that being a leader is not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I wonder what is going to happen in Chapter 7?

ReplyDeleteTakeaway: I learned that I need to pay attention more to the inner circle so I can take more from their discussion.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: What is a communist detat?
I have a better understanding of some of the confusing vocabulary the book uses. What role do mothers play in a young boy's life?
ReplyDeleteI never realized that Baba seems to prefer Hassan over his own son, and I still want to know why Hassan never tells on Amir?
ReplyDeleteI really started to understand the book a better. I need to catch up with my reading and create better questions and come to the next fishbowl more prepared. How do the relationships that Amir has effect who he is?
ReplyDelete1. One takeaway is that a fishbowl is a really good way to discuss, and that if I'm not prepared, not only will I have no idea about what's going on but I won't be able to participate whatsoever.
ReplyDelete2. Why is chapter 7 going to be disturbing? It is when the major chain of events happen?
I saw a lot more detail that was discussed.
ReplyDeleteIs redemption the ultimate goal of the protagonist?
Is Amir's delay from sports represent his risk taking and bravery? Will something happen that he will have to make a decision that has to do with the alleyway, and bravery?
ReplyDeleteI learned why the two different religions dont like eachother
ReplyDeleteCould Amar not having a mom affect the way he acts and why he cant defend himself?
I need to pay closer attention to details so I can bring up different points and contribute to the conversation.
ReplyDeleteHow will the relationship between Hassan and Amir change over time?
One take away I had about Fishbowl is to always be prepared to ask level one two and three questions. One question I have is, when you change your appearance, are you changing your personality?
ReplyDeleteThis Fishbowl thing is actually easier than I though.
ReplyDeleteDoes Baba blame his son for the death of his wife?
The fact that Amir's mom died giving birth to him could have a large effect on Baba and Amir's relationship.
ReplyDeleteIs it good or bad for Amir and Hassan that there is a new government?
I'm taking away the knowledge of the fact that baba is passionate about building an orphanage.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the significance of the kite?
I think the converation was not as hard as i thought it was going to be.
ReplyDeleteOn page 55, Why was it the last time he ever saw Hassan run a kite?
I learned that i need to slow my reading down and pay more attention to the book.
ReplyDeleteOne comment that that i still don't get would be what happened to amirs mom
1. I took away other peoples points of views?
ReplyDelete2.What happened in chapter 7
I learned that maybe Amir is just a reminder to Baba about his wife and maybe that's why he isn't so loving or nice to his son sometimes. I still want to know why Baba can't let it go and be nice to his son.
ReplyDeleteOne take away I had abut the Kite Runner is that if you annotate and ask questions then you will understand the story better.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Amir like Hassan so much?
