English

Answer:

Amir envied Soraya for her ability to be open about her past life and accepting it gracefully, freeing herself from that guilt and also for being a better person than he is.

Explanation:

"The Kite Runner" is Khaled Hosseini's first novel which deals with the issues of migration, guilt and redemption. Set across the backdrop of the fall of monarchy in Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban and the migration of people to America and other places, it tells the story of Amir.

Amir and his father Baba had illegally migrated to America. Before all of this, Amir and his family had been living peacefully in Afghanistan, flying kites with his best friend Hassan, the son of his father's servant and from a inferior race. But an incident where Hassan had sacrificed his body and dignity just to save a kite for Amir led to him getting raped by some boys. Unable to acknowledge the incident and feeling guilty, he distanced himself from Hassan. Later, when they are in America, and he met Soraya, he envied her for her ability to free herself of her guilt. She had also been having a rather unconventional past, but she has accepted. She had become a better person, accepting her life as it is. This is what Amir is envious of.

A legend is a semi-true story, which has been passed on from person-to-person and has important meaning or symbolism for the cul
PtichkaEL [24]

The awnser is be semi true means that some of it is true.  The statement might be partly true. And semi means half.

I found more information on this word.

  •      "The statement might be partly true, the statement may be totally true but only part of the whole truth, or it may use some deceptive element, such as improper punctuation, or double meaning, especially if the intent is to deceive, evade, blame or misrepresent the truth."
  • "Semi- is a numerical prefix meaning "half" The prefix alone is often used as an abbreviation when the rest of the word (the thing which half of is being described) is clear from context."

How does Bruno respond to conflict? What is his true character: Is he brave, or is he a coward? Use textual evidence to support
maksim [4K]

When Bruno's true character came out, he turned out to be a coward. He also turned out to be a friend who will not help when trouble is near you or them. Before Lieutenant Kotler came, Bruno said (paragraph 21) "I wouldn't mind him. This isn't his house, it's mine. and when Father's away I'm in charge. Can you believe he's never even read Treasure Island?" Bruno was trying his hardest to sound braver than he really was when he said that. When Bruno said that he hasn't even read Treasure Island, he was trying to act smart. Bruno also said "He's not going to mind," when he handed Shmuel the food, but when Lieutenant Kotler reappeared in the kitchen, Bruno stared at him. He felt the atmosphere grow heavy. When Lieutenant Kotler asked Bruno if Shmuel was his friend, Bruno's mouth dropped. When he was suppose to say yes to make things right, but then he realized that he couldn't because he was feeling just as terrified himself. That is when Bruno's true character came out and he came out to be a coward. Bruno was acting all tough and he even said that when his Father is away, he is in charge. Everything that he had said to Shmuel was all a lie. Bruno was like a different person when Lieutenant Kotler entered the kitchen. When Lieutenant Kotler yelled at Shmuel, he looked towards Bruno pleading for his help, but instead Bruno just stood there not even moving his mouth. A characters true character is revealed when they are trapped and have pressure on themselves. Just like Bruno had pressure on himself because he was terrified of Lieutnant Kotler.
