Comparing 1984 And The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner is the first historical fiction drama by an Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini, which was published on the 9th of May 2013. The kite runner is an international bestseller which has been translated into 40 languages and it has sold 8 million copies worldwide. In 2006 the Kite Runner was voted to the reading yearbook Booklist for reflecting and emphasizing the unequal status of an Afghan in the novel. Kite running is one of the national sports in Afghanistan, and most of the people play this sport during their childhood.

Emerging Themes Khaled Hosseini’s development of the character Amir, in the novel The Kite Runner, uncovers two emerging themes. Amir’s struggle with the death of Hassan goes over his guilt, and how guilt can cloud a person's judgement. Rahim Khan’s words effect Amir in a major way as well. When Rahim asks Amir to retrieve Hassan’s son he has a shot at redemption for what he has done hinting that in life it is never too late to make the right decision.

What would you if could fix a mistake you made in the past? Would you go out of your to change it, or let the past be the past? In works of literature, sometimes a character has to deal with a problem that can conflict with their responsibilities. A character will make a mistake in the past and work hard to try and fix it later on, but it can interfere with their responsibilities in life at that time. They have to make a decision to either go out of their way and fix that mistake or carry on with their normal life.

The Road To Redemption When seeking redemption it 's never easy it 's a long and sometimes dangerous road for the character Amir in the Kite runner His road of redemption is filled with danger After seeing something horrible happen to his friend in the ally and not doing anything to help amir is filled with guilt for most of his life until he finally gets his chance at redemption after many years he is asked by an old friend to save the son of the boy he had betrayed all those years ago this is why Khaled Hosseini’s novel, The Kite Runner, teaches the reader That It’s never too late to get redemption through Amir and his guilt and his actions. When amir was young he witnessed something horrible and he felt extremely guilty about the actions

In his debut novel ´The Kite Runner´ Khaled Hosseini, an Afghan, seems to want to remind us readers around the world that the Afghanistan that we see on the news is not a true portrayal of the culture rich country. The novel follows the life of Amir, an upper-class Afghan who grew up in Afghanistan and who later moved to the United States during the Soviet invasion. Although the narrator and protagonist of the novel, Amir´s life is not the sole aspect of the novel but instead it is his relationship with his servant Hassan and the consequences of that which leads the narrative and the plot. We are shown how Amir and Hassan grew up as the best of friends almost as brothers who “fed from the same breast” (Hosseini, 2005, p.11).

Since Amir left, Afghanistan has becomed unrecognizable, and it is not the same place as it was before he went to America. Farid’s comment condemns Amir and the fact that he has been living a life of privilege in America while the Afghanis have struggled to survive due to wars, violence and political issues. 2. Amir and Hassan’s friendship is full of complications. Fist, Amir envies Hassan because Baba often favors him and, therefore, Amir feels underapreciated by his father.

The Kite Runner Khaled Hossini Title “The Kite Runner” might put a cover on the old Afghan tradition of flying kites and fighting with them, by covering their kite strings into glass and trying to cut the string of the opposite kite. When the losing kite is falling, kids run the kite, which means, that they run after it and try to catch it before anyone else does. This leads to the assumption, that as a matter of fact Hassan would has to be the main subject of the book, but I am not quite sure, if he really is… Characters

People believe coming back from past mistakes have no returns, but in the book The Kite Runner this is not the issue. Khaled Hosseini tells a story about two boys with different experiences in their childhood one of the boys went through a horrible life experience his name was Hassan, and the other Amir the main character in the story experienced a life of guilt for not being brave to defend those that defended him. The story begins in California when he had moved from Kabul because the Russians were starting to invade. Khaled Hosseini uses symbolism to describe character reactions and emotions throughout friendships and connects with the story.

We have all dealt with neglection at some point as a problem in life. Some who deal with parent neglection or disconnection with either a mother or a father, possibly even a sibling or society. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a novel about the narrator, Amir and his journey in life and how he believes his half-brother receives more attention from his father which causes Amir’s relationship with his father to be affected. While Father by Alice Walker is an excerpt about a woman and her reflection on her relationship with her father and how she regrets her action and choices when she was younger wishing to have altered her relationship. The authors convey conflict to create tension in the novel and the excerpt.

The Kite Runner The setting of the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini opens in San Francisco and then flashes back to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Amir, a Pashtun and Sunni Muslim, is the son of Baba, a successful businessman in Kabul, Afghanistan. Hassan, a Hazara and Shi 'a Muslim, appears as the servant’s son initially, but then Rahim Khan, Baba’s friend and business partner, reveals to Amir that Hassan is actually Amir’s half-brother. Amir treats Hassan in a narcissistic way by not understanding Hassan’s feelings and only concerned about his own safety and life.

Similar to that of a kite’s composition, a degree of irony is woven into the friendship of Amir and Hassan. The kite’s characteristic beauty deceives onlookers as to its ruthless intentions; rather than simply displaying the kite’s graceful movements and appearance, kite fighters aim to destroy and capture their opponents. Likewise, while socially and culturally Amir is superior in education and power, an evaluation of loyalty and courage reveals that the lower-class Hazara servant maintains dominance. In fact, Hassan is able to forgive Amir for his betrayal decades before Amir is able to forgive himself, shown in his yearning “to rekindle things between [them]” (87-88). Amir understands his elevated social standing, but also recognizes Hassan’s superior self-confidence and forgiveness.
