The Kite Runner...#3

At the of Chapter 4 a battle is going on page 32, Khaled states "Well, I began. But I never got to finish that sentence. Because suddenly Afghanistan changed forever." Pg 34. Leading into chapter 5 on pages 35-36 Khaled talks about gun fire and explosions going off in the distance. Hot the flashes of bombs going off lit up the sky like lightning, and how they made the ground tremble. Off in the distance they could here the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire. Hassan was scared and Ali took hold of them and tried to comfort them even though he was scared himself. He said "There hunting ducks..." pg 35. The explosions and gunshot lasted only about an hour. The gunshots in the streets had frightened the kids very much. They were foreign sounds to them. "The generation of Afghan children whose ears would know nothing but the sounds of bombs and gunfire was not yet born." pg 36.
