The sky
all blue
all yellow with
the sun shining
so bright.
The city,
under the
dark blue night.
So calm,
and peaceful.
The mountains
in the from a
distance.
All dark and
mysterious.
Just makes the city,
be a city.

The Kite Runner PART 1...

I'm currently reading a book called " The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. I've been wanting to read this book since the seventh grade, but i never got a chance to read it. So i kind of basically just saw the movie. It was a really great movie though, and now that i have the book, i want to compare the movie and the book. I rarley watch a movie before reading the book first. For some reason, reading the book gives much more description than the movie, but there's still those very intense scenes that just make the movie worth while, but other than that, i prefer reading the book before watching the movie first.

I'm a really slow reader so I'm not up to the part in the book where the action kicks in, but the book has very descrpitive parts in it. For example,

"The curved wall led into the dining room, at the center of which was a mahagony table that could easily sit thirty guests- and, given my father's taste for extravegant parties, it did just that almost every week. On the other end of the dining room was a tall marble fireplace, always lit by the orange glow of fire in the wintertime."

I liked this description in the text so far because he describes what his home looks like and he doesn't just let you wonder about whatever. I also like the last line of that small paragraph because he tells you what they do with the fireplace during a certain time in the year.
