Chapter 20 & 21

 Chapter 20 starts with Amir and Farid (man who he is traveling with)arriving in Kabul.Kabul is a whole lot different from when Amir was younger and Amir has his first encounter with the Taliban since arriving back in his home country. While on his travels he encounters a man who knew his mother before she passed away,although he does not remember much of her.They finally arrive at the orphanage where Sohrab should be. The owner of the orphanage,Zaman,admits that a member of the Taliban took Sohrab a month ago.He then tell them that they can find this Taliban officer at the Ghazi Stadium tomorrow. So off they go in a continued search for Sohrab.You can almost sense that something bad is about to happen in the next chapter and it made me a little uneasy.Since the novel has been so graphic in some parts i can only imagine what will happen next.Although the novel has made me uncomfortable in chapters it continues to be a great and interesting novel.

 Chapter 21 starts with Amir and Farid passing through Amir's home town and where he had lived all his life till he fled to America with Baba.Amir asks Farid to stop at his old house so he can recall all the memories from that house and his childhood. He remembers reading Hassan stories,Sitting under their favourite tree in the backyard and kite running.They stop at a run-down motel for the night and continue to Ghazi Stadium.Once they arrive at Ghazi Stadium they find a seat in the over-crowded, unorganized place.Amir has his first encounter with something really unpleasant:

"I closed my eyes and covered my face with my hands."-pg284

  This part in the novel also made me very uncomfortable and it is unfortunate that event like these still take place.
 Amir witnesses a man being stoned to death and he tried to block out the events as much as possible by the above quotation. The person who stones the man also turns out to be the Taliban officer they are looking for. So the chapter ends with Amir arranging to meet him at 3 o'clock that day.
