Storyboard Text
- STOP FIGHTING!!!
- A problem I have faced this year is my parents’ divorce. It’s been really hard on my brothers and me, and my parents fight a lot over us.
- The people who have helped me a lot through this experience are my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jimmy. They let me come over when I am feeling overwhelmed, and they help me with my homework.
- My parents’ divorce is still ongoing, but I’ve been able to come to terms with it through counseling, and by sitting down and telling them how their fighting hurts us. My aunt and uncle helped me with deciding what to say to them before I sat down to talk to them about it.
- MY KITE
- A lesson I’ve learned from this is to ask for help when I’m feeling overwhelmed. I’ve also learned not to try to take on other people’s problems and disputes; I should focus on making sure that I am doing well in school, being captain of my soccer team, and making sure that my brothers have someone to talk to.
- My Name
- Some advice I would give to Amir to help him assuage his guilt over Hassan is to remind him that he was just a kid, and his father perpetuated the unfair treatment between him and Hassan. By keeping their blood connection a secret, he let Amir believe that Hassan was just a servant, and his constant criticism of Amir did not help the situation. The fact that Amir helps Sohrab is a huge sacrifice and a brave decision. I believe Hassan would be pleased by Amir now.
