On your blog, please respond to the following:

ALL THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE TRIUMPH OF EVIL IS THAT GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING." - Edmund Burke

Reflect on this quote in the context of the first 7 chapters of The Kite Runner.

100 word minimum

I think that this quote is true. If no one does anything to help the situation than nothing will change. In order to have change in something especially something bad you need to take some sort of action in the right direction. When Hassan got raped in the book Amir just stood there and watched, letting evil triumph. If he would have said something or tried to stop it than maybe what happened wouldn't have happened. If no one does anything to stop the evil than it will just continue to grow and grow. All it takes for evil to be stopped is for people to stand up for what is right but if no one stands up and no one does anything than evil will continue to overpower the good.
