The Kite Runner - Chapter 22 Reflection

• Differences:

1. If we read the book, we can know what was Amir thinking in the scene. He was having lots of flash backs, while he is trying to convince Assef to take Sohrab (the son of Hassan) with him. For example, when he first saw Sohrab, he reminds him, how Hassan was when he was a child
2. Also in the book, Amir gets much more damaged after he fights Assef. While in the book, he get broken bones all around his body, in the movie Amir just get damaged eye.
3. In the book, Assef tells Amir how he survived in the jail, and how he decided to help the talibans in Afganistan. In the movie, Assef dont say anything about this.

• Similarities:

1. What happend in the chapter, is exactly what the movie show to us. However the movie make a summary of the chapter, leaving behind some details. (For example: What was Amir thinking in that moment)
2. Some of the phrases that the characters say in the movie, are exactly what they say in the book.
3. The clothes that the characters are wearing in the movie are very similar to what is described in the book, specially Assef, who is wearing a white suit, with his "John Lennon" glasses on.
