In the book The Kite Runner, the main character, Amir, is forced to face a lot of different situations (i.e. death, torture, poverty, fear, guilt, etc.). Over the course of the novel, Amir becomes more and more emotionally and physically broken. The song "Broken" by Seether portrays the similar feelings that Amir is also experiencing.
"Because I'm broken when I'm open,
and I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome,
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore."
These lyrics show a clear understanding of how hard it is to be alone. It shows insecurity and the need to hold back. Amir expresses similar emotions when he is reminded of his past, lives in the present, and thinks about the future. His past encounters with death, trauma, poverty, and fear influence him for the rest of his life. But Amir's true breaking point was when he lost his best friend and his father. Amir wasn't prepared to live on his own, "broken when I'm lonesome," and Amir's life changed after the people he loved were gone forever, "and I don't feel right when you're gone away."
