Habib was born in Afghanistan in 1941 and had studied in Afghanistan, the United States, and Russia. He holds a Ph.D. in literature and has written many poems, stories, and essays. He taught at Kabul University in Afghanistan until his retirement. His home country had been engulfed by wars for a large portion of his lifetime. The poem is structured in a way that the negative

of the United States is based off of the elimination of such social barriers. Gender conventionalizations are an example that well manifests the enclosing walls that society imposes on some cultures. Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner can be analyzed through a lens focused on Gender as Afghanistan culture creates confining stereotypes. Traditionally speaking, many immediately turn to oppression of women when it comes to gender issues, however it becomes apparent throughout Hosseini’s book how

“The Afghan Culture Through The Kite Runner Lense” Culture is, to an extent, a story told thousands of times over- a repetitive form of art of traditions, beliefs, and practices that reveals a part of who we are. Khaled Hosseini integrates important elements of Afghan culture in The Kite Runner and imposes critical questions on the individuality of the characters as well as the cultural influence on modern settings and its effect on the book’s overall meaning. As with any culture, men and women

rose gardens, grieve not. If a flood should arrive, to drown all that’s alive, Noah is your guide in the typhoon’s eye, grieve not (Hosseini 365).” A Thousand Splendid Suns, written by Khaled Hosseini, is a story that is set place in modern-day Afghanistan. It is one depicting the lives of two particular women who live under the control of a persecuting husband and the infamous rule of the Taliban. And through these two women (Laila and Mariam), Hosseini creates a mind-blowing, awe-inspiring adventure

Women 's rights have been exploited by different groups for political gain and sometimes for the so called ‘well being’ of the country in the last fifty years. Afghanistan has been stuck in a state of war for over three decades now. The different types of groups that have been coming into the country to fight have

America, there always seems to be some sort of invisible line drawn between his people. There is separation between the Pashtuns and the Hazaras, between Americans and Afghans, between men and women, and between the Talibs and the people of Afghanistan. “’Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our wantan. They dirty our blood….

One of the main reasons the relationship changed for better between the father and son was initiated by the change in culture and circumstances (Mainly the war and the relationship with Hassan) due to the pair moving to the U.S.A. A relationship is fundamentally formed around circumstances. Circumstances which are commonplace in Kabul and America differ drastically therefor

Equality for all genders should be a prominent quality in every country around the world. However, in Afghanistan, this is not the case. Afghanistan was a country that faced a long and hard war. Constant fighting existed in this country for many years. However, war took its biggest toll on females in Afghanistan. They were allowed to be treated like slaves, commanded and abused. Strict laws were set against them and men had complete dominance over them, they were powerless in the community. From

“Livin’s more important than schoolin’” (Constance Elam, Culture, Poverty, and Education in Appalachian Kentucky). However, Appalachia is not the only place with this mindset. Afghanistan people also tend to believe that the arts are less important than other things. However, I believe that a change in mindset would be beneficial to the advancement of these communities.
