The Kite Runner







Amir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy, and Hassan, a Hazara and the son of Amir's father's servant, Ali, spend their days in a peaceful Kabul, kite fighting, roaming the streets and being boys. Amir’s father (who is generally referred to as Baba, "daddy", throughout the book) loves both the boys, but seems critical of Amir for not being manly enough. Amir also fears his father blames him for his mother’s death during childbirth. However, he has a kind father figure in the form of Rahim Khan, Baba’s friend, who understands Amir better, and is supportive of his interest in writing stories.
1.)Amir changes as the story proceeds for the better because in the beginning of the story he was jealous of Hassan and now hes trying to help Hassan now thats hes dead and gone.
2.)My favorite character was hassan because he always kept his head up and never gave up on himself. I disliked Assef because he was the bully of the town. He treated people in ways he wouldnt want to be treated.
3.)The theme of strength of character is the most prevalent theme. Amir commits terrible sins against his friend and half-brother, Hassan. The story of what he does and how he seeks and finds atonement is a lesson for everyone who wants to do find a way to be good again.
4.)The protagonist of the story was Amir because he changed drastically and he changed his whole perspective on life. He helped the one he once hated because he new it was thr right thing to do. The protagonist is Assef because he has so much hatred in his body to hurt innocent people so i think hes the protagonist.
