It is all about feelings

Both the kite runner and a thousand splendid suns written by Khaled Hosseini are seem to be touched stories, what actually hide behind is the homesick and the patriotic feeling. Khaled Hosseini used these two vivid stories to describe how long his people in Afghan have been struggled to triumph over the force of violence. His novels make people all over the world to pay attention to what happened in his country and how people there are tolerating because of the war. Though Khaled  moved to America and has lived here for a longtime, he still cares about what happens in his hometown. I think this is because of the patriotic feeling,which exists in the deep of everyone's heart. The place where you were born and have grown up, you can't help consider there as your home and you want to protect it, protecting the people there. Another example is the book  Bonesetter's Daughter written by Amy Tan that I read this year. The novel again talked about the women in early twentieth-century China, the deep differences between generations and between cultural gaps in immigrant families. Amy Tan recalls many stories heard from her mother in this book. This is a kind of memory to show her feeling, she still cares about those tradition in China because she has the Chinese descent.
Actually, when I first began to learn about those old poems in Chinese literature, I was told that poets would like to use theirs poems to express feelings inside: homesick, love and dreams. The same as all the book I have read for this year: It is all about feelings, the feelings that hide inside these writers' hearts' the feelings that can not be express orally; the feelings that are deep and great.

A thousand splendid suns

After finishing reading the kite runner by Khaled Hosseini, Ms. Healey recommended me another similar fiction written by him: a thousand splendid suns. I began to read the summary and the first few sections of this book, but it is so attractive, Khaled is so good at using simple words to describe great feelings. No words in his book is redundant. The novel centers around the friendship between Mariam and Laila, two afghan women who were told to endure as many other other afghan women have learned since they were young. Khaled Hosseini in the "a thousand splendid suns" shows how the Afghan women have to endure for all sorts of half a century.  These women have to endure hunger and sickness, they also have to be patient enough when they are endure all of them. Families have to endure the effects that the war refugees displaced from their home while the whole country has to endure the war of Soviet Union. This book is a history of Afghanistan's patience. Just like the kite runner, Khaled used normal story to describe extraordinary meanings.
