Giving Words: Giving Word By Khaled Hosseini

On the night of giving word Soraya’s father was talking to Amir and said, “as the husband of my daughter who is the noor of my eye,” (Hosseini 168). The General is giving his blessing for Soraya’s to marry Amir. The song I loved her first is about a father talking to his future son in law telling him he “loved her first,” but, “it’s still hard to give her away.” In the scene called Giving Word, the General gives Amir his blessing to marry Soraya. The same way the song I loved her first is about a father letting go of his daughter so she can find happiness.
