The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Pages this week: 100
Pages this semester: 323
Sentences:
1.) "He's selling his leg?"
Farid nodded. "You can get good money for it on the black market. Feed your kids for a couple weeks."
2.) My face was burning. What was the old saying about the penny? My past was like that, always turning up.
3.) "In the west, they have an expression for that," I said. "They call it ethnic cleansing."
I liked the first sentence because I thought it was so odd. Things were so bad, people were so poor, that they would sell their leg to feed their children. I'm not sure why I liked the second sentence, I just did. And the third sentence represents racism, a theme throughout this book.
