The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a novel about life in Afghanistan that follows a boy named Amir, his father Baba, and their two servants Hassan and Ali. Amir and Baba are wealthy Pashtuns, and Baba is well respected. Hassan and Ali, on the other hand, are Hazara, an ethnic minority in Afghanistan. The Hazara people are oppressed and seen as inferior to the Pashtun people. Baba, however, doesn’t treat them as inferior:this way, he shows kindness towards Hassan, instead ofunlike Amir. Throughout Amir’s childhood, he is constantly ignored by Baba because he does not fit Baba’s idea of the son he wants. Baba’s general disapproval and disinterest in Amir shows that he is a bad father to Amir, especially because he shows the opposite emotions to Hassan.

Understanding a character is one of the many components to understanding a piece of literature, which is why using this analysis is a great thing to do while reading a book or

Another character I like is Chris. Although he has no dialogue in this novel, his character is described in intriguing ways. What I like about Chris is he has a very distinct personality, he has his own thoughts and actions that he doesn’t change, which I admire about him. I like how he decided to be his own person and not necessarily follow the ways of society, like have a solid career or do the right thing. Chris set out on his own adventure and didn’t care what others thought of his long journey hitchhiking to the Alaskan woods. “...I admire what he was trying to do. Living completely off the land like that, month after month....” (Krakauer, 185) This quote shows he wasn’t thought of as ‘crazy’ by all and some were interested in his brave

Social conditions are what shape a country. Over the years, people, not only in Afghanistan, but around the world create norms that define people’s roles in life, their future, and how they should be treated based on their gender and beliefs. Khaled Hosseini’s first novel, The Kite Runner, comments on the social conditions of Afghanistan through telling a story about the lives of two Muslim boys; a privileged Sunni Pashtun, Amir, and his long-time friend and servant, Hassan, a loyal but disadvantaged Shia Hazara. Hosseini expresses Amir’s uncertain feelings toward Hassan which form the decisions he makes throughout the book. These choices result in Amir destroying his relationship with Hassan. The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini is a commentary on the social conditions in Afghanistan as shown through the roles of women and men in society and the ideals of Afghan culture. Unfortunately, these problems are still active in most of Afghanistan.

My favorite characters are the ones designed for you to hate, and then somehow love by the end of the story. Those are the ones that stick in me long after I close the book. Not many people are strictly evil. Usually they’re doing something they believe is heroic, or at the very least, acceptable. I like to study what makes a character sympathetic to a reader, and go from there.

Imagine yourself in a world where the place you grew up in, was turned to dust, rubble, and heaps of it’s former self. Imagine yourself in that world for a second.

This is all about the two divisions and how they are the same and how they’re different.
