ESSAY ON: Hosseini/The Kite Runner

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page book review. Khaled Hosseini, a native of Afghanistan, paints a poignant picture of friendship and bigotry in his novel The Kite Runner. A best-selling first novel, it is also the first novel to be written in English by an Afghan (Noor 148). It is the story of two boys, Amir, the privileged Pashtun, and Hassan, a Hazara servant. While Amir considers Hassan to be his friend, and the boys have virtually been raised together, Amir consistently takes advantage of that friendship throughout his childhood, playing cruel jokes on Hassan and basing this presumption on their difference in status. However, in later life, the fate of his friend comes to haunt him, causing Amir to return to Afghanistan in order to redeem his own and his father's sins. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
