Hosseini

In his novel, The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini depicts his homeland Afghanistan as a host to many different cultures and classes, such as Pashtun and Hazara, Sunni and Shiite, with this dichotomy of beliefs and attributes being powerful enough to shape diverse, sometimes negative relationships amongst the characters of the novel and their behavior to each other, as well as establish that individual’s identity. Each person interprets the impact of the role of belief and social status differently, while all living in the same setting, adding to their complexity and depth as a character in the novel with many different figures tied together by the same geographical and cultural conditions.

By the end he no longer lived in fear of the truth, but instead lived freely as a loving man that wanted to make his wife and new son happy.

Hosseini showed that how life is lived out portrays what we believe in and shows where we put our faith. Amir struggled through life as he was figuring out what to believe. He lacked moral courage and confidence and was portrayed as a coward until he finally put his faith in something secure. Once he was relieved of his internal struggle and put his faith in God, he was able to stand up for

Hosseini’s advantage is that his way of revealing the countless hidden qualities of life are throughan “open endings”. The “sky was curdled grey burdened with lumps of cloud” reinforces the idea that there remains an underlying tone of guilt.
