Amir's Compare And Contrast Essay: The Kite Runner

Compare and Contrast “A man who has no conscience, no goodness, does not suffer.” Words written that will live in Amir, and myself, forever. While my life may never be comparable to that of Amir or Hassan, I understand what its like to have a friendship demolished; a trust broken beyond repair. Best friends, may they be related or not, are like siblings. Connected not by blood, but by trust and love. I have loved people so much that I would do anything for them. I would take any suffering for them. Unfortunately, sometimes those people wouldn’t do the same. Sometimes people only look out for themselves, even when you trust them with your very life. Earlier this year I had a best friend of about seven years, Olivia. She was my second half; I was never seen without her. On weekends I would simply live in her house with her parents. People started to assume we were related because of how much time we spent together. Olivia would even come to all of my schools preforming arts shows, just because I was in the crew. She was the greatest friend I ever had. As I read about Baba always reminding Amir that Hassan should be like a brother to him, I was reminded how Olivia’s mother had always told her she shouldn’t ever go out
Maybe If Olivia was around when my parents got there she could explain what happened. My parents would be impressed at her honesty and everything would just blow ever. The security guard looked to Olivia who had already begun to say “...No.” They escorted her out of the room as I screamed for her to come back. I have anxiety problems, and as she left, My panic attack had led me to pass out. I remember In the kite runner, how it had been a rainy day when Hassan had left with Ali. Amir had thought of running to the car and pulling out Hassan to tell him that he loved him and that he was sorry. However, Olivia never came back into the room. She never fought to defend me. She never said she was sorry and neither did
