Rationale

My writing task is a news report about the invasion of the URSS to Afghansitan. Here I talk about the deaths of the Afghans and the Soviets, tell what happened in brief words and include perspectives of the Afghan side.

This is spoken by a american reporter who is working for a newspaper that talk in great part of culture and history, news reports of wars, and things like that.

I choose a news report as the type of text of the task, because I think that is the better way to show stories of three characters of the book, Amir, Baba and Hassan by showing what they think and because I investigated about the war and I want to show that in my opinion, that was a horrible war for the Afghans.

My writing task is wroten in 1995, season in which Baba and Amir are in U.S.A., Hassan is dead and the war has finished

Kite Runner Task

The URSS invasion to Afghanistan

In 1978, the Afghan people passed a important part of their lifes: The URSS invasion.

17 years have passed since the famous invasion of the URSS to Afghanistan, in which this country as we will see was clearly affected; around 600 thousand of people died during this big war in wich the great majority were of the Afghan side. For the Afghans, this was a terrible experience, a great part of them died, another were kidnapped, some of them survived and the lucky and with good economic situation managed to scape from the country.

Here we have two witnesses who, because of their good economic situation, managed to scape from there and go to the U.S.A., were they live in this moment, they are Amir and his father "The situation was horrible" said his father "The Soviets were shooting who they saw in front of them, they hitted the people for no reason, it was all a big chaos, our only option that we saw in that moment, was scape from that hell, so that was what we did, we got in a truck which was going to pass the border. In this truck, were about 15 people with a very good economic situation like me. When we were about to pass the border, a Soviet soldier stopped us and he said that he was going to let us go only if he could have sex with a woman that was there. In that moment, I felt horrible for she so I said that if he wanted to rape her he would have to kill me first and he was going to kill me until the general stopped him and they let us go. Now we live a perfect life here in the U.S.A., at least better than there, I work as attendant of a minimarket and my son, Amir, wants to write stories, I would prefer him to be a good doctor, but well, it his decision" His son Amir, gives his perspective too, who lived this as a little boy "In Fact, it was a terrible season for Afghanistan, I was very scared and I was not understanding very well what was happening, I only saw my dad very worried and explosions in the streets. When my dad, confronted that soldier, I thought that my dad was going to die and I thought the worst of the things, but for luck, he passed that with life as me. As my father said, we are perfect here, my father is happy where he is working and I am planning to write a book and, why not? marring me" said Amir.

For other said, we have families that didn't have this luck, one of them is Abdel Wahed, a humble Hazara servant, who survived all this war and he tell us his experience" I was about to die almost four times in a month,  all days were a possible day to be shooted, the Soviets abused in a horrible way of their power and killed people  because they wanted or because they didn't do what they said in the moment. A example of that is a man who was a servant Hazara as me and which name was Hassan. He was taking care of the house of a friend of his ex house holder which was sick and the Soviets enter to the house and said him that if he didn't live the house they would kill him and he didn't lived the house so they kill him and his wife" said Abdel.
