(part I chp. 2) He aims at social and moral upliftment for the future of the village- especially the new generation. He does this through emphasis on education. a) He urges the villagers to send their children to Savlo Master so that they can be taught to be more cultured, and not crude like their ancestors. For Abu, education should get children acquainted with the scriptures. He does not seem to emphasize its practical importance. Thus, Abu tries to strengthen the voice of conscience among the children. Abu is an advocate of hardwork and duty. He believes that the fruit of hard labour is always sweet. a) We see this when Abu scolds Pandhari about not working hard enough in his fields as he has become distracted by money and the work in the mines. He believes that agriculture will keep his village safe and secure from these evils. b) Abu informs the villagers of their duty to send their children to school on time. Thus, he acts as a guiding force to mold the punctuality of the children. Abu, though traditional, has a particular amount of foresight and aspires for a better future for Kolamba. He understands the destruction and havoc mining could cause and tries to alert the villagers. a) When Abu finds the children imitating the immoral behaviour of the elders in their games, Abu the moral guide of the village arrives and puts an end to their game. However, he is unsuccessful in getting the villagers to pay heed to his fears. (part I chp. 3) Abu tried

(1) Education, while not popular for slum residents, was a way to move up the social caste system. This is also seen in developed countries; educated residents are able to enter career paths with more opportunities, higher salaries, and greater prestige. Manju, the daughter of Asha, was attempting to complete her education at a local women’s college. If she completed this education, she could marry someone in a higher social caste and escape the slum. Her mother Asha often discouraged her because it violated the social role of women; women should be married off and serves as servants to their husbands. If Manju were able to complete her education, she would be Annawadi’s first female college graduate. Nevertheless, it is difficult for a person to receive an education when structural conditions do not allow. At one point in the story, Manju has to stop teaching the local children to assist her mother in ripping off a Western nonprofit- Asha was running a fake kindergarten program.
In the novel, Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, the protagonist, Amir, is torn between two truths as he lived associated with different kinds of religious groups in Afghan society: Pashtuns and Hazaras. Each identity played a unique part in Amir’s life. Whether they had a positive or negative effect, both changed his values and beliefs. Individuals also shaped Amir’s character. Baba, Assef, and Hassan were major influences upon Amir’s growth throughout the book; their differences shaped Amir into the man he later became as all three represented a different side of Afghan society.

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.
