Comment on Lu's Post

      I agree with your idea about Soraya and Amir. I think they work really well as a couple. They share a lot of similarities that they might not even be aware of yet. Throughout the whole novel we can see how they are always there for each other. Even though they got married pretty quickly, they already seem to get along so well and know exactly how one another acts and how to deal with their actions or moods. Amir is a very sweet guy and is great to Soraya. Soraya is also very supportive of Amir and we can see that she truly does care for him. Unlike Lu, I did not suspect that Amir and Soraya would hit it off right away. He obviously seemed really into her and was desperate to get her attention somehow. On the other hand, Soraya never really payed attention to his actions. She always seem really shy when he passed by them at the fair and talked to her or her parents. Later I realized that she was probably acting this way because it was an Afghan custom. I didn't take into consideration the fact that Amir had to get some kind of approval from her father in order to even speak to Soraya. 

     Once the general gave Amir permission to marry his daughter I was really happy. Amir had lost everyone in his life, and was now about to lose his own father which meant the world to him. Soraya is perfect for Amir, and the two seemed really happy together. So even though I still somewhat hate Amir for his past actions, I really enjoyed reading about his relationship with Soraya.
