LOG #8

It's a pretty stressful novel I think. The feeling came to my mind is so complicated that I've been depressed through the next couple of days. Is Amir a good guy at the end of the book? He saved Sohrab from the Taliban. He successfully get Sohrab back to America. He finally have General Taheri done with the racist speeches. He made Sohrab smile at the end of the story, and repeated Hassan's words: "For you, a thousand times over." to him. It kinda made him look better after all these things that happened between him and Hassan to others. But for me, it didn't help at all. Because his figure in my mind has changed from a naughty boy who liked to make fun of the illiterate friend to a guy who watched his loyal friend suffer and didn't send any help. He's selfish to me from the first time he made fun of Hassan to the end of the story. Was he really doing all of these in order to save an old friend's friend? Or was he just doing things that would make him feel better? For me, it's the latter one.

Forget about the things that happened in the novel. It's still a chaos in the middle-east area. People might think that it's all about the Islam religion. All these things that ever happened is because of the religion. But have anyone thought about the context? Is it really just about the Islam stuff? What about the natural resources? Like oil? Or maybe there's somebody who anonymously conducts all the thing that happened to this world? There're plenty of rumors that implies it's all because of the USA. See, the most influential country to the world is the USA. The biggest arms exporter is the USA, too. Who else can influence the world and gain money at the same time while the whole world is a disaster? That's kind of obvious. So maybe, I think, it's USA the secretly conducting all of these things. Or some might say it's because of the illuminati to be more humorous. Just conspiracies.

Reading makes a man becomes more spiritual. With each book he read, he gains more knowledge about what the book is about. Take Jing-Yung for example, reading his book can gain the knowledge of the time that the story take place and how to train oneself to become a KungFu master. Reading is good for lives. From this book I've learned roughly all the things that happened in Afghanistan from the 80' to the 00', And some local terms in Kabul. Reading makes lives more colourful. Though it's a information exploded dynasty, I still encourage people around me to read. Especially the ones from the Architecture Designing apartment. It will give them extra energy to design.

The books I read in this semester were great. And I feel so lucky that I choose them. I hope that the books I will read in next semester will be this great, too!
