The reader learns through Amir’s conflict by watching Hassan get raped by Assef and doing nothing about it which informs the reader the importance of standing up for others and especially yourself through Amir and Hassan friendship, Amir's guilt throughout his entire life, Hassan being Amir's half-brother, and taking care of Sohrab. Growing up as a child Amir certainly did not have a close relationship to his father

beginning of the book begins us off with the two young boys, Amir and Hassan. Hassan would do anything for Amir, but Amir usually gets Hassan in trouble for something he did. Amir was always getting in mischief, while Hassan took the blame so Amir would not be punished. The two boys would usually be together and never be able to be separated, unless the neighborhood kids asked Amir to play with them. Amir refused to tell Hassan, so he would not get embarrassed when a servant boy played with him. One

Rape is a problem all over the globe. In the real world, and in the fictional world too. In The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. The most iconic example is when Hassan gets raped by Assef in Chapter 7.Amir, Hassan’s best and only friend, is responsible for the rape of Hassan and what happens after, because that he had the opportunities to prevent the rape but instead decided not to intervene and help his friend .In chapter 7, when Amir first comes across the scenario, he almost intervened. Amir says

The first example in the story is when Amir makes Hassan shoot their neighbor’s dog against Hassan’s will (Hosseini 3-4). Hassan would never harm anything, be it human or animal, on his own unless it was to defend Amir, so this action illustrates how much a slingshot can change a relationship for better or for worse. When Hassan threatens to shoot Assef’s eye out to protect Amir, the slingshot displays how

I was on a plane when I finished reading Khaled Hosseini’s Kite Runner, but my public surroundings didn’t deter me from crying as I would have, snuggled under the covers in my bed. This book transported me to another world, with atrocities that I could never have imagined; and the worst part was that it is based on history.

theme, “true redemption is when guilt leads to good” (302), plays a major role in the book. Feeling endless guilt is tiring; it clings to a person and drags him or her down constantly. Amir felt endless remorse his whole life from the way he treated Hassan and after he overheard Baba talking to Rahim Khan about how Amir never stands up for himself. Amir tried to find redemption, but did not succeed until he went back to Kabul to find Sohrab. Amir’s cowardice caused him to live a guilty life, but in

it made him the person he is. He lived in a home in Kabul, a place is Afghanistan, with his father, Baba. The family had two workers, Ali and Hassan. Afghanistan’s king is overthrown, and things begin to heat up. One day, Amir and Hassan are playing when they run into a group of boys. They threaten to beat up Amir for hanging around with Hassan, but Hassan uses his slingshot to stop the group of boys. The movie skips to a kite flying tournament in winter. The boys cover their kite strings with glass

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. First, Amir’s relationship with his father, Baba, helped create
