The Kite runner is the first novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini, published in 2003 by Riverhead Books . It takes place before Afghanistan’s revolution and its invasion by Russian forces.

Although he was just a child, Amir in the beginning of the novel was selfish and a coward. Amir would forever regret his actions (or lack thereof) and the decisions he made when he was young. Amir’s father, Baba, in the beginning of the story, worried that Amir was too soft and lacked any courage to stand up for himself. When Baba was privately speaking to his friend, Rahim Khan, about Amir and his peers, “I see how they push him around, take his toys from him, give him a shove, a whack there. And

In the critically acclaimed movie The Shawshank Redemption, Red, played by Morgan Freeman, said, “There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't.

Have you ever felt guilty or betrayed? In the books Oedipus Rex and The Kite Runner there are many examples of these themes. For example in The Kite Runner Amir betrayed Hassan. In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus betrays the city. The significance of betrayal and guilt in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner is doing the right thing.

The Kite Runner Before I read The Kite Runner, I had looked up a summary of it online as a preview for what was to come. That was not the best idea because after having read the summary, I began to make assumptions about the book. I had thought that it was going to be a very historically factual book about Afghanistan in the 1960s and 1970s when the Soviet Union invaded and the Taliban regime took over. I was expecting a plot line similar to Night by Elie Wiesel: a book about a boy

The Kite Runner begins with Amir’s recollection of his happy childhood in Kabul, Afghanistan. Amir’s father, Baba, was the richest and most respected man in the city, and Amir led a comfortable life in a white mansion with two Hazara servants, Ali and his son Hassan.

when facial structures in an unborn baby do not close completely. It is quite simple to understand at first glance, just a straightforward physical deformity that is treatable. It might primarily seem direct at first glance in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner as well, which tells the story of real-time events in Afghanistan through an unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy, Amir, from Afghanistan, and Hassan, the son of his father’s servant, who he later finds out, after Hassan’s death, has always

The kite tournament in the winter of 1978 represents an important climax in the boys’ relationship. After defeating the opposing kite, Amir asks Hassan to retrieve his prize to which Hassan responds “for you a thousand times over” (67). Arguably the most important declaration, Hassan’s verbal promise in combination with his faithfulness ultimately changes the course of their friendship.
