the kite runner #3

This week for outside reading i continued with The Kite Runner. Khaled starts his trip to find Sohrab. An old friend of Rahim Khan, Farid, will drive him. They stop overnight and stay at Farid's brothers house. They have little money but still give him a nice meal. Khaled notices the children staring at him and he thinks they want his watch, but later he realizes it is his food they wanted because they did not get any. Khaled tells them why he is going and the Farid starts being nice to him because he understands now. They arrive and he sees the city has changed a lot since he had last been there. Khaled makes the mistake of staring at the Taliban and an old beggar runs up and tells him not to do that. He gives the beggar some money and keeps talking to him. He finds out the man had been a professor at the same college as him mom and they knew eachother. Khaled likes talking to him because his father doesn't like to talk about it. They soon go to the orphanage to find Sohrab but he is gone. Some officers take a few children every month and the man who runs the orphanage can't do anything about it. They leave and decide they will keep looking until they find him. Later that day they go to a soccer game where Khaled always went when he was younger. The officers bring in two people and stone them to death. Khaled makes a call to meet with a main officer to find out about Sohrab and to try and get him back.
