The Kite Runner question

The Kite Runner - Quote from Chapter 3

Maisha Jan 07, 2014 12:17PM

"Children aren't coloring books. You don't go to make full them with your favorite colors." - This quote was by Rahim Khan, a friend of Baba.

I absolutely honey this quote. Absolutely love it. The reason Rahim said this to Baba was considering Amir wasn't like his begetter (Baba). Baba complained that the way Amir was growing up is non the way that he, himself grew up. That is why Rahim said this.

The quote is a perfect manner of saying that a parent cannot expect their kid to always follow subsequently them. I dear this quote so much because I have a strong connexion with it. I'm not sure if it'southward everyone's parents, but a lot of parents feel the need to take their child grow up or exercise the things they did every bit a kid. Personally, my mom does this sometimes. She'll mutter that she "didn't practice this" when she was my age or "didn't do that" when she was my age.

My point is, I really actually like this quote. What do y'all guys retrieve about information technology?! Do you concord with the concept of it? Do yous disagree? Do yous similar information technology also?! SPEAK!

This quote absolutely fits perfectly with Baba and Amir's lack of father-son human relationship.

Baba blames Amir for the decease of his wife who died during childbirth. He complains that Amir doesn't defend himself and instead of football, he reads and writes and at the end of the mean solar day it seems that Rahim Khan is more of a fatherly figure to Amir than his real father considering Rahim Khan supports Amir in everything.

However, Baba and Amir's relationship changes with the Soviet Invasion and their moving to USA where Baba truly accepts Amir who just wrote a book and is being published. I feel that Baba was so committed to give Amir the best lifestyle possible and sometimes forgot how his son felt most his begetter lack of attention. It is merely in USA where they alive a humble life (Baba working at a gas station and at a abscond marketplace on the weekends) that he truly realizes that all the material stuff from life isn't important every bit along as you accept and capeesh those who you love because at the end, money comes and goes but family is always the nearly important thing in the world.

I like this quote alot because its basically saying that our parents shouldnt expect thier kids to folllow later them. Its a smart style to put it

i recall he means you don't become to pick and choose how u want ur kids yous can't option the prefect kid or make them to exist what you desire.

I concur with the quote. Baba wasn't really a male parent to him until they got to America. While they were in Afghanistan, Baba was more than fatherlike to Hassan than he was to Amir.

That quote is wonderful. Children are burdened with expectations the moment they're born. We must permit them exist who they really are. They have got the right ti do and then.

I agree and disagree with this quote because parents are wise and have been through nigh of what we are currently going through. They can understand and maybe not want u.s.a. to do things they have washed in their boyhood. Only then again, some parents desire to brand decisions for us considering they think they know how we call up present.

It makes sense to me. A person is going to be who they are, no matter how you lot try to control them. One could see this as a larger message for the Taliban. They can't strength people to fit in their boxes, no affair how much they terrorize them.

Hi, I practise like information technology very much, I think I read the kite runner before I had kids so information technology perhaps didn't have every bit much resonance with me then. I used to worry that not being particularly 'girlie' myself would influence how my 2 girls grew, at present I realise it makes no difference what you lot as a parent similar/choose etc. every bit very kid is completely unique and they become their own mode! I'm constantly surprised by their ideas, interests and preferences.

The quote "Children aren't coloring books. You lot don't get to fill up them with your favorite colors."(in Chapter iii) is a wonderful quote that many people can relate to. In my opinion this quote means that children aren't going to grow up exactly similar y'all've planned them to. They have to brand mistakes and learn like everyone else does. Lots of children feel the pressure of living upwards to their parents expectations . These expectations shapes the child's life by trying to live upwards to those expectations rather than making their ain life. The dazzler of the quote which can be inferred is that children will colour in their own colour's. In other words they will make a new path for themselves . We all have our ain lives then we shouldn't expect others even our children to walk in our shoes, instead we should let them run in their own shoes.

It IS a beautiful quote! And you know it makes all the more sense to me because it's exactly what I'm lectured nearly these days. Nosotros'll I am not a 'child' anymore but in our society here, believe me when I tell y'all that married people are notwithstanding reproached for non fulfilling their parents' wishlist!So possibly I tin't mutter about MY lectures!
The point is it's really hard for parents to accept that their kids are of a different generation and that they canNOT deport or do the things they did xx years ago.
I think the problem lies in the fact that we but don't want to have that everyone is only different and as Hosseini says: anybody'south a different colour and every private gets to cull the colours they want to be and no 1 else tin can or should do it for them.

I concur with this quote. Similar the many comments above, its really truthful that people expect yous to be a certain way, and to act a certain way. It may exist considered deviance, because information technology could be something someone wasn't brought up to or used to during their fourth dimension. Your choices are your norms, even if they don't fit the norm category of the majority of society. Yous deceit exactly expect people in unlike generations to act the same way. Things effectually y'all alter which may or may not alternate the manner you practice things, how you decide on things,and what you lot want to do when you grow up. People accept all of these different careers, not because everyone idea the same mode, but because of what inspired them. There could be things present effectually you lot that wasnt present effectually your parents, simply thats okay! we create our paths because of what inspires us, and when parents expect you to be like them or autumn into their footsteps, it wont ever turn out to be what you lot want to do. We have minds of our own, our ain individual dreams, and the things that motivate us may not take motivated our parents.
