The Kite Runner

     In The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Sohrab ends up saving Amir's life just like Hassan did.  Also, they both end up saving Amir with one thing, a slingshot.  Amir is saved twice, once by his best friend, and the second time by his best friend's son.  After Sohrab slings the brass ball into Assef's eye, " 'Bia,' Sohrab said, pulling my hand. 'Let's go!'," (291).  I think it's funny how Amir keeps getting saved because Amir knows that he does not deserve it. It proves how great both Hassan and Sohrab are and their loyalty and respect towards Amir.  Like father like son, both Hassan and Sohrab show what they would do to save a friend's life.  It is like Hassan takes over Sohrab's body to save Amir once again.  They have the courage that Amir has wanted to have all of his life.  They embody all that Amir has dreamed of being.
