追风筝的人英文读后感 (一)
This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.
Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shia Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amirs school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amirs house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.
The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseinis deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amirs closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amirs fathers servant and a member of Afghanistans despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabuls annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.
Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amirs equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shahs 40-year reign and traces the countrys fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassans orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.
The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.
追风筝的人英文读后感 (二)
I like this book very much, because it is so delicate and so touching. Even in the face of too strong dark forces, good people never give up hope! This is the one from Afghanistan American writer in the novel, it can be seen as a result of the terrorists and the war and in deep water in the country people, they still retain the ability to illuminate the sky and star light in a dark sky.
At first, the novel was seen in a magazine called "for you, thousands and thousands of times". I wanted to read the book at that time. Then, when I had the opportunity to read myself, I had so much hope in my heart.
This is a story about redemption, and it is a cruel story. From the initial Hahn commitment, to the last hero complete self salvation, I saw a human rebirth. "The kite runner" background story is true, because true, why so touching. In the novel, between Hahn loyalty, friendship and mills master let me feel the warmth of human nature, and a variety of Afghanistan and the cruel reality, let me have a deep sympathy for the world of misery. The unfortunate experience of Huns children was the impulse of my tears.
The kite runner, as we in the pursuit of the good hope, we sometimes to his most important person regardless of the way of thorns, courage; sometimes we to cleanse your soul, will focus on the beauty of "Kite", to find the direction of happiness in pain.
我很喜欢这本书，因为它写的那么细腻，那么感人。即使是在面对过于强大的黑暗势力的时候，善良的人们却从不放弃希望！这是一个来自阿富汗地区的美籍作家，在小说中，更可以看到作为一个因恐怖的人和战乱而陷于水深火热的国家中的人民，他们在黑暗的天空里依然保留了能够照亮天空和指引方向的星辰之光。
一开始，是从一本杂志上看到了这本小说的，题目就叫做《为你，千千万万遍》。当时就很想读到这本书。后来，当我有机会亲自阅读的时候，心中涌起了太多美好的希望。
这是一个关于救赎的故事，这是一个有些残酷的故事。从最初的'哈恩的承诺，到最后主人公完成自我的救赎中，我看到了人性的重生。《追风筝的人》的故事背景是真实的，正因为真实，所以才会那么的感人至深。在小说中，哈恩的忠诚、与米尔少爷之间的友谊也让我感到人性的温暖，而阿富汗地区的各种残酷的现实，让我对于这个世界上的悲苦有着深深的悲悯。哈恩的孩子的不幸遭遇更是让我一度有落泪的冲动。
追风筝的人，就像我们在追逐的那些美好的希望一样，有时我们为了自己重要的人而不顾一路荆棘，无畏向前；有时我们为了涤荡自己的灵魂，将目光集中在那美丽的“风筝”之上，在痛苦中寻找到通向幸福的那个方向。
追风筝的人英文读后感 (三)
Its a moving story and a mixture of love,fear,guilty,atonement and so on.For a lont time,it makes the books we read lost their color.
The first time I read a book written by an Afghan atuhor named Khaled Hosseini ,it told a story between two boys.A rich boy Amir at the age of 12 and his servant Hasan were brotherly loved.Nevertheless,afer a kite game,something miserable happened.Amir feel grievous and guilty for his cowardice and he cannot confront Hansan,using something contempitable to let Hansan and his father leave his home.Not long,Afghanistan broke ou a war,Amir and his father had to fled to America.After his grown- up,he cannot forgave what he had done to Hansan before.And to atone for himself,he returned his hometown,which was destoryed badly by the war……
Maybe all of us more or less had done something as Amir did before,we are too young to understand others feelings when we broke their heart into pieces.We may feel guilty and miserable for waht we have done.But there is no use to cry over spilt milk.What we really should do is to face the reality and like Amir,to atone for ourselves.
追风筝的人英文读后感 (四)
I hate wars which make the world bloody ,cold and cruel, so I do not want to talk about the war. But it is miraculous to see a kite is cut off by another one. And the kite which is cut off flies away like a free bird. Hassan said to Amir that for you, one thousand times over. At first, I tought the friendship between Hassan and Amir was so deep. But then I found that Hassan was a servant in Amir’s home and began to realize it is some kind of loyalty. Though Hassan always said that Amir treated him as a friend, deep in his mind, he did not put them on the same line. In his eyes, Amir is the person he should look up to and protect, even do whatever he can do to help. Amir was affluence in material, but he did not have friends because of his race. I dislike him because he always ran away when Hassan was hurted by the others in order to protect him. In my opinion, if he stand up fo Hassan, things would have been different. I could not understand why Amir cheated to make Hassan leave at first, though their “friendship” is complicated. Now I come to know that Amir may try to push Hassan out of the position as a servant. And he wished that they stand in the same line and Hassan can chase for the things wanted by himself. Though Amir’s father said that a boy who won’t stand up for himself, becomes a man who won’t stand for anything, Amir finally turned into a brave man who standed up for Sohrab, the son of Hassan.
The kite tied Hassan and Amir tighter tighly. When I saw Hassan running after the kite, I realized that he was chasing for freedom as well. However when I saw Hassan running after the kite, I thought he was learning to protect things he cherished. There are many kites we are willing to have, but do you have the courage to chase for them?
