Relationships between families may not perpetually consist of happiness and fulfilment but always have an undeniable bond of unconditional and everlasting love. The concept of relationships particularly that of a father and son is a resonant theme in both the novel ‘’The Kite Runner’’ written by Khaled Hosseini and in the play ‘’A Death of a Salesman’’ by Arthur Miller. Hosseini explores complex father and son relationships through the character Amir- the narrator and protagonist of the novel and his interactions with his father Baba, family friend Rahim Khan and adopted son Sohrab. Set during the violent rise and reign of the Taliban in Afghanistan and ending after the attack of the world trade centre in 2001 triggering the fall of the Taliban. Juxtaposed to Miller who presents father and son relationships in a more positive era of the post-war boom of 1948, where the American Dream appeared to be more realistic. Through the character of Willy- an ambitious salesman who not only strives in achieving the dream for himself but also his children Biff and Happy.

Because the boys were often completely severed from all family ties, they had to learn to build new trust with boys they had barely known in order to take care of each other. The camp was maintained until the government collapsed and the boys were forced to flee again, but this time to Kenya. Another journey of hundreds and even thousands of miles had just begun. By the time the Lost Boys had reached Kenya, their numbers had been cut to 12,000. In such times, the people had to find ways to keep their minds occupied and to discuss issues such as returning home to a safe and unified Sudan. Slowly, the culture of the Sudan boys had been adapting and changing. Because there were few adults to raise these children as would their parents in Sudan, the boys developed their own semblance of their culture. Other societies take for granted that their culture is passed down by their family and other surrounding sociological forces, so for thousands of young boys to have to figure it out for themselves in an astonishing thought. Many other cultures do not understand the genocide that occurs in Africa, more specifically Sudan. This is not a cultural norm that exists in Western society where people are more accepting of other cultural ideals. This ethnocentrism raises concern by many other regions of the world, but because they are not actually a party of this seemingly strange culture, not much is done in order to end such crisis

Refuge means shelter, “so a refugee is a person that seeks shelter, usually from war, natural disaster, or some other harmful situation.”("Refugee - Dictionary Definition.") Merriam Webster classifies ‘other’ as “different or separate from the person or thing that has already been mentioned.” (Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster) Therefore the word ‘othering’ is going to be similar, “the process of perceiving or portraying someone or something as fundamentally different or alien.” ("Wordnik.") The big question is how big of a deal can scarcity come to?

A large part of What Is the What is how Valentino and other Sudanese immigrants deal with the culture shock after moving to America. To do that effectively later in the novel, Eggers has to explain certain aspects of Sudanese and Dinka culture in order for the readers to better understand the immigrants' shock. When given Valentino’s scenario of being robbed by a boy, he sees himself in how the boy walks and acts. It makes him remember even more about his childhood. He sees how this boy is innocent, even though he is complicit in a robbery; he is watching television, looking for food, and sleeping underneath a pile of towels. It is similar to how Valentino tried to have a normal life while war raged around him in Africa “but without William
