The Kite Runner Chapter 12

-
Today in AP Lit, we took a quick quiz on chapters 9-11. Those chapter were essential to the novel it’s self because it’s the end and the beginning of the major shift in the book which is Baba and Amir moving to America.

Chapter 12: We are introduced to a new character namers Saroya. Amir has been eying her for quite some time, but is scared to make eye contact with. One day he sees her at a booth and decides to stop and talk with her. Also, we learned that Baba is diagnosed with lung cancer but refuses to receive treatment. Amir tells Baba he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do. Baba replies that he’s been trying to teach Amir precisely this all his life and forbids Amir to tell anyone about his illness.
