I think although some people are plain victims of brutal acts, they still think it's a part of their faults or they deserve it or something. This mentality is sad, but what can we do? They're raised to accept their fate. That's why I almost cried when Amir said Haasan had a look of a lamb at that time. And this is what Assef wanted him to feel.Dixie wrote:Then why did he do that? I don't get it.

Really? So far I'm liking a thousand splendid suns better. Yeah, I know the story is kinda slow, but I think it's more interesting than kite runner. I've always felt outraged when I hear a girl is married into a marriage she didn't choose. To me, it's like slavery. Why can't people realize making someone do something out of their wills is a sin? If it's not, it should be. :xDixie wrote:

I'm gonna assume that they couldn't find any blond-hair-blued-eyes boy who could act good enough to portrait him. I'm not even gonna bother with the racial issue right now. I hope this is not the main concern. His mother is German in the book, and she has no sympathy for Hitler. Assef is just a psychopath. I wonder if they would show him more or let people who haven't read the book yet know his personality. He's a main key in the relationship and fate of Haasan and Amir.

Hardcover? If yes, it's pretty cheap. If it's paperback, it's about the same price in the States. Is the tax expensive?

Re: Khaled Hosseini
Hehehehe for hardcover, you pay for the cover since it's fancier and thicker than paperback. The hardcover book is normally bigger than a paperback book, and the paper quality is way better than that of a paperback. I bought one paperback book back then and let my cousin borrow it for her flight to France and Italy (the Angels and Demons one I wanted her to trace the steps they had in the book. Unfortunately, she finished it on the way home. She regretted not to listen to me, as most people would be at some point in their lives LOLOLOLOL). And she gave me back a wrinkly, junky book after a month. I never wanted to buy paperback books again.

Of course it depends on how you treat the book... I've got many paperback books that are still in good conditions :DLennyeTran wrote:Hehehehe for hardcover, you pay for the cover since it's fancier and thicker than paperback.

And yes I like to have a pencil near me when I'm reading a book for the very first time but not many of them have interesting fragments or phrases to underline...
--> Maybe we should create a new topic?

Re: Khaled Hosseini
Thanks, Elena. I use Utorrent constantly so using it is no problem to me.
I am downloading the file you said. Hope it's good, but I'm not quite sure because when it asked if I wanted to download it via utorrent, there wasn't a single file but a lot of winrar files. I'm downloading it anyway, see what it is. I will have it tomorrow morning hopefully.

Re: Khaled Hosseini
I'm not convinced, many files are fake and most of them have the word CAMERA , doesn't it mean it's like a "screener", that is to say, filmed at a theater?

If I'm not mistaken Khaled Hosseini is going to be interviewed on the 27th of May in World book Club on BBC radio
I repeat, if I'm not mistaken, I'm still working on my listening skills.

Re: Khaled Hosseini
Hello,
You want to know about direct and indirect narration. You can easily clear your concept.
1) The art of presenting the words of a speaker is called Narration.
2) When two persons talk to each other about them, call Direct Narration.
3) When two persons talk to each other about the third person, call Indirect Narration.
If you want to learn more about basics of narration in details visit here: https://www.englishsikho.com/blog/basic ... sh-grammar
It will be beneficial for you
Thanks
