kite runner, Early in the story, Baba says to Rahim, “A boy who won’t stand up for himself becomes a man who can’t stand up to anything” (22). How do the events of these chapters connect to this quote? Is Amir a coward or a product of his environment- or both? Why?

1. After they went to watch the Buzkashi game where a carcass was put in a circle and some horse riders would compete to take the carcass from the person at the center, Amir cried as a rider fell and was trampled upon by his horse. This infuriated Baba who told his friend Rahim these words, “A boy who won’t stand up for himself becomes a man who can’t stand up to anything”.

2. Both. Amir was a coward and that was caused by the environment he grew up in. He lacked the affection of his father and that affected his confidence.

Explanation:

Amir lost his mother when he was born and so did Hassan a servant in his home. He lacked the affection of his father because his father believed that he did not resemble him in behavior. His choice of career was different from that of his fathers' who loved soccer. Amir wanted to be a writer and poet but could not defend his choice to his father.

Baba did not think that Amir would turn out to be successful because he found it difficult to defend himself. This could have caused Amir's lack of confidence because of the absence of love from his father and the demise of his mother.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.

powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.

cascading and caressing each grain of sand,

a warm embrace between sea and land.

high above, a seagull soars high.

wings of purity it spreads to fly.

battling high against darkened cloud,

in a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.

beneath, the sand is soft and warm.

sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.

a passionate battle between calmness and rage,

a new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.

i listen again to the whispering waves,

music of nature calming and brave.

its power unknown, its stillness untamed,

mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.
