Personal Review: Will He Come To America?
I can’t believe that Amir graduated high school and is now going to junior college. He thinks that he will be “discovered” and will make a living off of stories that he makes up. I do not understand how he thinks that he will make money off of words on paper. I wish you were here so he could see that you support him through his decisions, especially the ones I am not as passionate about as he is. Amir talks about how he wishes you could come to America because we both miss you and it would make all of our lives better.

    Lee Chew: Immigration To America

    An influx of immigrants came to America in the early 1900s. An immigrant named Lee Chew traveled from China to America a few years prior to the 20th century. He worked as a servant for a few years before opening a partner business. According to "New Immigrant Experiences, Selection 3," "When I first opened a laundry, it was in company with a partner..." This depicts how Chew had adjusted to life in America without losing his ethnic identity. In China, there were no laundries; women had washed clothes in tubs. He was taught by American women how to launder, similar to all Chinese laundrymen in America. Chew had also learned English to communicate with Americans, but he was still able to speak Chinese. This demonstrates how America is a salad…

    Role and Conflict

    Amir, is the central character and is shaped both in character and intellect by power. He is privileged and wealthy, but also steeped in jealousy and cowardice. He is selfish and guilty of abhorrent behaviors. The one positive strength Amir has is his friendship with Hassan. Considered best friends this is a friendship that is generally one-sided with Hassan showing the loyalty and trust. There is an ongoing conflict for this friendship because Amir shares paternal heritage with Hassan. Hassan was born into servitude and thus Baba, the boys’ father, cannot lay claim to Hassan’s heritage. The Afghan traditions and culture pose a conflict for Baba regarding Hassan. Hassan for his part is loyal, forgiving, and an all-around pleasant person to be with. The two boys are drawn to each other naturally. Hassan is the family servant and never wavers in his loyalty to the family even with the knowledge that he should be considered part of it. At the same time, Baba struggles with his own morals and the rigid Afghani traditions. He is proud and determined but also emotionally detached from Amir. Amir feels the detachment deeply and constantly strives to receive Baba’s affection.…

    Hello Mr.Hosseni. In my English class, we just got finished with your novel The Kite Runner.Your book, has been the best school book I have ever read in English class. I was very surprised of all the information that I learned about the political struggle in Afghanistan, and especially surprised that this was a story of your childhood in Kabul from then on.From your childhood, Kabul seemed to be a very wonderful place. I was fascinated by the fact that instead of supermarkets, you had a bazaar to get all of your groceries. I also found it interesting that unlike The United States, the season everyone looked forward to was school offs, and exciting seasons of winter opposed to Summer. Aside from all of the facts that I learned, your book has truly touched my heart. Although Amir’s cruel charecteristics had made me angry in the beginning of the story, by reading the last page his bravery had left me in tears. In the beginning, I thought BaBa was a hero of some sorts, but you even over rid that. I could never imagine returning to a country under the circumstances you had too; but you did it anyway when you were well of aware of the consequences you could have suffered, a very high chance at that too. Although you said Amir was a coward, I believe not even the bold could have done what you did. You really did what would be considered the impossible, and I admire you for that. You have showed me that if you want something, you must do whatever it takes to get there; and to always try no matter how unrealistic it seems.Although BaBa and Rahim Khan had some-what shunned you for your treatment to Hassan as a child, your journey would have made them more than proud. You not only taught me the culture of Afagnistan, but the devestation for a power struggle.You even writing this novel was brave, because it exposed the true horrors of the Taliban. Reading your book, encouraged me to stand against terrible and totalitarian governments like the…

    “Boost your career? Is that all you care about now?” There was clear hurt in his tone now as you put your head down. “I'm sorry, but I don't believe that this is something that you really want. I know you...” He stepped towards you. “Don't throw away your family for money.” You give him a soft smile that only lasts a couple of moments.…

    Moving To America Personal Statement

    Gazing out of the airplane window, I saw the words Mei Guo— “beautiful country” in Chinese—painted on the airport terminal. My mother and I immigrated to America when I was a small child from Taishan, China. She aimed to remove me from a life where society would limit my options and ostracize me due to my father’s blindness from Retinitis Pigmentosa and the family’s lack of proper education. My father was willing to let go of his only child because he, too, knew it would open infinite opportunities for me to succeed. Though my new life in America seemed prosperous at first, I soon realized I needed to create opportunities for myself despite our lack of resources.…

    Coming to America

    Imagine this, living in a very small town; with only one store where you can make and receive phone calls, there are no public phones, no residential phone lines, no electricity and no running water. The roads are not paved until you get to the main road where people travel the most. The next town is about thirty minutes away, and there is only one bus that comes to this small town once a week, so people can go shopping and do other things. In this small town there are hardly any vehicles, people either walk, bike, or ride donkeys. There are hardly any jobs and so the only thing you can do is to leave for another place and look for a job to support your family. If someone told you that there was a place where people had many opportunities to find work and make better money, would you go? For many people in Mexico, this is a question that gets asked occasionally. America has always been known as the land of promise and a place where prosperity flourishes. Unfortunately, America is one of the only places where such opportunity exists, making it a very attractive place to live. There are three major reasons why illegal immigrants are leaving Mexico for the United States. First is the lack of job opportunities in Mexico. Second is the lack of adequate standard living conditions. Third is the low level of education that is provided in Mexico.…
