Dear Baba,
I'm writing to you because Ali asked me to. I'm a friend of his, so I'm writing the letter because, as you know, he's illiterate. He wanted to write to you so much, he reallly wanted to explain why, after 40 years, suddenly decided to leave the house along with Hassan. So I will concede his wish.
It has been 40 years, in which we treated each other as brothers. I'll never forget that moment, as a child, when your father finally adopted me, those years where I grew up with you. Making silly things, the mischief you and I used to cause. I know you got confused when I told you that both of us were leaving the house, because Hassan told me everything.
I'm sure you remember exactly the kite tournament, Amir cutting the last kite, Hassan said it as a bright blue one, a cool one. So when the kite started falling down, you were so happy and distracted that you didn't realize Hassan wennt straight away to the place were the kite was supposed to land.
So he went alone, he ran through the paths and ended in a cold alley near the bazaar, and he actually found the kite - you know Hassan never fails at it -. But his happiness of finding the kite lasted only a few seconds.
Assef knew about the kite tournament, so he waited, together with Wally and Kamal, to be ended so he could talk to him about their unfinished business. But, while they where waiting near the bazaar, they saw a boy running through the alleys, It was Hassan. And in that moment Assef remembered how rude he was when they met together with Amir, so Assef and the other two guys started chasing him.
So when Hassan finally found the blue kite (the one that I mentioned before), he turned back and found Assef and the other two. Assef asked nicely if Hassan could let them the kite he was holding in his hands. But, the worst thing is the person who was also there, hiding behind a corner: Amir.
So Assef told Hassan to give him the kite so he "would forgive him for his rudeness". And of course, he said no. So Assef proceeded to insult my "stupid hazara boy". So Assef decided to let him keep the kite, but you know nothing is free in this world. Assef final words were "I'll let you keep the kite. I'll let you keep the kite so it will always remind you of what I'm about to do": he raped Hassan.
He raped him with no compassion. You know Amir was there, right? Well, he could just step into the alley and stand up for all the time Hassan did it for him in the past, and I'm sure you think the same thing, or he could have run. While Hassan was with his face towards the cold wall, he remember seeing a boy coming out of the alley and running alone.
It maybe be surprising for you,but the reason Amir hid his watch and the bills under Hassan's pillow was because he felt so guilty that he only wanted no longer to see Hassan again. That's why I decided to leave the house, so I ask you a favor. Don't ever think I forgot those 40 years, because I haven't done it.
I hope you both take care,
Best wishes,
Ali.

Written Asignment Kite Runner Rationale Corrected
Rationale
The Kite Runner tells a story of fierce cruelty and redeeming love between Amir, a young afghan boy, and the main characters. specially Hassan, a loyal hazara kid, a friend of Amir. Both loved to fly kites, until something happens that breaks with their fondness for the game.
The letter that I'm going to write explains the reason of why Amir and Hassan stopped seeing each other, just as Baba stopped seeing Ali in a specific event inside the story.
I will mention how Ali tells Baba about Hassan's rape through an emotional letter. In addition, the 40 year-relation between Ali and his friend. Finally, an important detail, where Ali tells Baba that Amir was also there hiding when Hassan was fiercely raped, but ran.
The reason I chose a letter was because it fits perfectly with my purpose and aim, and also it fits with the time the novel is set. And the use of language in the letter is informal.

It has been 40 years, in which we treated each other as brothers. I'll never forget that moment, me as a child, when your father finally adopted me, those years where I grew up with you Baba. Making silly things, the mischief you and I used to cause.

Assef knew about the kite tournament, so he waited, together with Wally and Kamal, to be ended so he could talk to him about their unfinished business. But suddenly they saw a boy running alone searching for a blue kite that landed there. It was Hassan. And he remembered that he was the one pointing him with his slingshot, calling him "one-eye Assef". So when Hassan finally found the kite inside an alley, he turned back and found Assef and the other two, and they asked nicely if Hassan could let them the kite. And, for you to know, someone else was there, hiding in the corner of the alley, some you know: Amir.
So, Assef told him to give him the kite so he "would forgive him for his rudeness". But you know Hassan as much as I do, and because of his loyalty to Amir, he denied. So he proceeded to insult my "stupid hazara boy". So Assef decided to let him keep the kite, but you know nothing is free in this world. Assef final words were "I'll let you keep the kite.

Discussion dialog:
Reductant: I'm not sure of the IVF decision, because I will be holding in my arms a test tube baby and not my son.
Eager: I disagree with your point of view. The in vitro fertilisation is just a modern way to choose our child sex, in our case a boy.
Reductant: I know that the in vitro fertilisation is a chance to make sure our child is going to be a boy, but it's completely unnatural and feels wrong. You know how important the moral is for me.
Eager: You may be right, but IVF is a medical solution to our problem, and we have enough money to afford it. Just think about it, having a girl and a boy. We will be such a happy family, and we will not be dealing with girl problems that are so hard to underestand.
Reductant: Yeah, I think so. So it's decided, let's go together to have our litle boy!

Correction Written Part "The Kite Runner"
Winter, 1975
Dear Father,
I'm writing to you because I want you to know the reason of my behaviour these days, the reason why I arrived at home the day of the kite tournament bleeding.
As you know, Amir and I took part of the tournament, and we won, it was great! But it lastedd only the ame afternoon. When the tournament finished, I told Amir I would fly the blue kite for him, the precious kite he had won, but then I was so distracted that I ended running the kite near the bazaar. I was so distracted that I didn't realize it was getting late, that I needed to come back with Amir, but the worst, I didn't realize that Assef, Wali and Kamal were following me all the time.
In the end, when I started running, they stalked me in one of the alleys, the alley that changed my life from now on.
Assef forced me to give him the blue kite, but I knew that a servant must be loyalto his owner, so I denied. So he got angry and charged me, hold me and with Wali's and Kamal's help, he raped me.
That's the reason why I arrived bleeding all the way back. But when Assef was doing such horrible thing, I barely saw someone's foot on the back of the alley, I know it was Amir, no doubt about it. Now, I will never smile again.
I'm sure it is all Amir's fault, because I had never failed to him, and in the worst situation of my entire life, he betrayed me and dind't do anything.
I'm sure you will do something about it, because someone who will never betray is you, father.
Best Wishes,
Hassan.
