Although we have not yet finished reading Kite Runner, the story has already caused me to have a change of mind. I have always been good at keeping secrets, whether they are my own or somebody else's. Even though none of these secrets have been as life-changing as the one between Amir and Hassan, I believed that keeping things to myself was a useful skill and a good way to live. Kite Runner taught me a lot about the value of a secret and the effects they can have on people's lives. Seeing the emotional torture that Hassan endured because Amir didn't tell anyone about what happened showed me that secrets can change lives. I also observed that secrets can change multiple people's lives at the same time, even without everybody involved realizing so.
Now that I have this new view on secrets and their capabilities, I will think twice about the possible outcomes that keeping information myself could cause. I hope that I never have to deal with a situation as severe as the one that Hassan went through, but I will treat other situations with the care which that one deserved.
