A person’s childhood is the foundation that paves the way for the rest of one’s life. Memorable events can trigger certain emotions in a child and, as a result, change the nature of that person as an adult. Set in the 1970s in California, the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is told in flashbacks as the reader follows the main character through his resolutions to lifelong conflicts. The novel traces Amir’s mixed feelings of love and jealousy towards his best friend Hassan. Although they each came from different economic and social classes, they grew up in the same household facing hardships, resent, and deceit together. The two boys reach a turning point when the neighborhood bully savages
The basis of The Kite Runner is concrete, encircling around the story of two young boys and their difficult relationship. Amir, the only child of his widely loved father and left without a mother, has grown up in the streets of Kabul with Hassan, a marginalized Hazara who works as both Amir’s servant and best friend. Amir, who now finds himself as an adult looking back on his past, recounts the traumatic childhood events whose aftereffects have left him struggling to find his place in the world. Author Khaled Hosseini brings forth a child’s point of view, allowing the readers to sympathize with the narrator and recounting events from their own childhood. Thus, it highlights my research question: What perspectives are illuminated by author Khaled Hosseini’s use of a retrospective child narrator in the novel The Kite Runner? The purpose and technique of youth in novels has been somewhat part of uncharted territory and under researched. As Tim Love explains one apparent reason is that, “even the best adult books with child narrators risk being treated as if they are children’s books” (Love). With such a perspective on works of literature, they have been academically diminished and considered undeserving of critical analysis. However, child narration or the focus on youth creates a much deeper layer for the audience while reading. I have always had a passionate interest in perspective stemming from my encounter with Julio Cortázar’s novels. Cortázar even states in his novel Cuentos Completos, “children look unflinchingly straight at things until the time comes when they are taught to locate themselves in the gaps between as well” (66). He utilizes the power of child narrators fantastically, and I wished to see how other authors utilized child narration to create powerful
