Did certain parts of the book make you uncomfortable? If so, why did you feel that way?

     Throughout the novel, "The Kite Runner" there where some scenes that made me, and probably many other readers feel uncomfortable. Mainly, the scene where Hassan gets sexually abused by kids his own age was able to make me feel very uncomfortable reading. Other scenes that made me feel uncomfortable were;  the fight scene between Amir and Aseef, Aseef throwing rocks at the blind man and the women, and when Amir found Sohrab had attempted suicide in the hotel bath. These scenes were disturbing and very graphic but I do realize that these types of scenes is what captivates and audience and makes them really feel for different characters and people throughout the novel. This book wouldn't have the touching lasting impression on its readers as it did without these scenes. There are many ways that you can captivate and audience and the way the author has done it here was by making people want to know what's going to happen. To foreshadow different events throughout the novel and I believe Khaled Hosseini did this perfectly throughout these scenes and made me not want to put the book down until I knew these characters where safe and out of harms way. So, looking back on the novel and these few scenes that were able to make me uncomfortable while reading, it's certain that the story wouldn't of had such a strong effect on me as it did without these scenes and that the autor portrayed these all situations perfectly.
