Extra Credit for The Kite Runner
Kites. Hosseini was inspired to write a short story that would later become The Kite Runner when he heard that the Taliban had banned kites in Afghanistan. This seemed especially cruel and personal to him, as Hosseini, like Amir, grew up flying kites in Kabul.
Sohrab. Like Amir and Hassan, the young Hosseini’s favorite literary character was the tragic son Sohrab from the ancient Persian poem Shahnameh .

A Levels Revision
Final revision for the kite runner.
Writing notes for prose can be a long, arduous task as you’re dealing with a bulky body of text. Thus, I prefer making a summary booklet with key points once I finish the novel instead, along with links to resources I found useful. This may or may not suit your study style! Below are the notes I made for the Kite Runner.
Kite Runner – Revision
(Use with highlighted copy of the text)
Key points:
- Narrative structure
- Narrative and chronological time, including the use of tense
- Narrative voice
- Use of speech
- Prose style and language choices including sentence structure
- Use of images, symbols and motifs
- Genre and generic conventions.
Narrative structure:
- Historical drama
- Coming-of-age (albeit a little unconventional…) — Bildungsroman novel
- Retrospective novel!!!!!
Narrative and time:
- Narrative time and chronological time differ due to the time skips
- Wholly in past tense (except in the beginning). Links to nostalgia and remembrance and the novel was written after all the incidents have happened
- Temporal shift!!!!!!!! Eventually jumps back to the present
- This allows for a lot of irony when secrets are revealed in the future, e.g. Amir and Hassan’s connection is much more than the nursing woman.
Narrative voice:
- 1st person narrative
- Makes the Kite Runner more complex — readers have to make a judgement on whether to trust Amir’s presentation of the story
- Stream of consciousness?
- Focaliser: the person whose point of view dominates
- Letters: Kite Runner uses many letters to convey other characters’ feelings through the eyes of Amir — again, susceptible to bias although it does overcome limitations of 1st person narrative

- ‘The generation of Afghan children whose ears would know nothing but the sounds of bombs and gunfire was not yet born.’
- ‘“We [Pashtuns] are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland.”’
- ‘Baba was the lone Republican in our building.’

- ‘Sometimes I sat there for an hour, sometimes two, listening to their laughter, their chatter.’
- ‘I’m in his arms, but it’s Rahim Khan’s pinky my fingers are curled around.’
- All that bear stuff about Baba
- Irony: Baba is building an orphanage for children who are not his, and writing a speech for that orphanage but barely takes notice of his own and is too busy with the orphanage speech to listen to Amir.
- ‘I was so proud of Baba, of us.’
- ‘With me as the glaring exception, my father moulded the world around him to his liking.’… ‘You can’t love a person who lives that way without fearing him too. Maybe even hating him a little.’
- ‘It wasn’t often Baba talked to me, let alone on his lap — and i’d been a fool to waste it.’

- ‘And that right there was the single greatest moment of my twelve years of life, seeing Baba on that roof, proud of me at last.’
- ‘I finally had what I wanted. Except now that I had it, I felt as empty as this unkempt pool I was dangling my feet into.’
- ‘Lost her to a fate considered worse than death: She ran off with a clan of traveling singers and dancers.’
- Sanaubar, misunderstood?
- Soraya’s father’s control over her — Afghan customs to wed girls
- Chapter 19 — women spoke in ‘low voices’ and ‘made no sound at all’, subservient.
The Kite (more like a symbol)
- ‘Baba and I lived in the same house, but different spheres of existence. Kites were the one paper-thin slice of intersection between those spheres.’
- ‘Fighting kites was a little like going to war in Afghanistan.’
- Symbol for Amir’s reputation in Baba’s eyes.
- ‘That was the thing with kite flying — your mind drifted with the kite.’
- ‘Sitting on piles of scrap and rubble, was the blue kite. My key to Baba’s heart.’
- ‘We’d actually deceived ourselves into thinking that a toy made of tissue paper, glue and bamboo could somehow close the chasm between us.’
Writing/Literacy
- ‘That was how I escaped my father’s aloofness, in my dead mother’s books.’
- ‘Real men didn’t read poetry — and God forbid if the should ever write it!’
- Irony: Amir was only reunited with Sohrab through Hassan’s written word, despite him retaining his servant status. Ironic because Amir used to belittle Hassan through his superiority.
- ‘My favourite part of reading to Hassan was when we came across a big word that he didn’t know. I’d tease him, expose his ignorance.’
- ‘Baba went on staring me down, didn’t offer to read.’
- ‘But the most impressive thing about your story is that it has irony.’ — Rahim Khan to Amir

The Kite Runner
By khaled hosseini, the kite runner essay questions.
Could the story of the novel exist without the class difference between Amir and Hassan? Make a case, using specific plot points and historical facts to ground your argument.
Examine the concept of circularity in the novel. What important cycles exist in the characters' lives and histories? How is circularity connected to redemption?
Explore the way in which courage is portrayed in the novel. What constitutes true bravery? What are the key moments when characters are brave and who is the bravest character, if any? Use specific examples from the text to support your argument.
Each character in the novel is shaped not only by his particular circumstances, but by the historical and political events that occur during his life. Consider Sohrab, the only character of his generation; how is he different from the other characters and how are these differences a function of what he has experienced?
Consider the idea of a homeland or "watan." How do you think the novel defines a homeland? Make sure to consider the opinions of Farid and Assef. Also, consider this question in terms of Amir and Sohrab, two characters who leave Afghanistan when they are still growing up.
Even though countless events occur in the novel, the title refers to kite fighting and kite running. What do these activities represent in the novel and why are they so important? To whom or what does the title, "The Kite Runner," refer?
Examine what it means to be American in the novel. How do different characters see America and is there one perspective that comes across most definitively? Some characters you may want to consider: Amir, Baba, General Taheri, Omar Faisal, Farid.
Think about the fathers in the novel. According to the novel, what does it mean to be a father? How can one measure one's success at fathering? Some characters to consider: Baba, Ali, Amir, Hassan, General Taheri, Farid, Wahid, Raymond Andrews.
"Like father, like son." "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." "Monkey see, monkey do." Use one of these cliches as a starting point to consider the way characters in the story behave. Characters to consider: Amir, Hassan, Assef, Baba, Sohrab, Rahim Khan.
Make a list of instances in the novel where someone is forgiven. What constitutes true forgiveness? Why is forgiveness so important? You may want to consider moments between Hassan and Amir, Baba and Hassan, Hassan and Sanaubar, Amir and Sohrab, General Taheri and Soraya, and Amir and himself.
Think about acts of violence in the novel individually and as a whole. Why is violence so essential to the story? Could the story occur without so much violence? Using your answer from the previous question, explain what you think Hosseini is using violence to say. You may want to consider: Hassan's rape, Sohrab's rape, the stonings at Ghazi Stadium, Assef and Amir's fight, Sohrab's suicide attempt, the story of Kamal and his father, Hassan and Farzana's murders, Sanaubar's appearance at the house, and the activity of kite fighting.

Discussion Questions
Throughout The Kite Runner, Afghanistan’s turbulent political climate is alluded to, often interrupting, intertwining, and sometimes totally upending the lives of the novel’s key characters. In what ways do Afghanistan’s political struggles, as shown in the novel, parallel or reflect the main conflict between Amir and Hassan? How would Amir and Hassan’s life be different if war had never come to Afghanistan?
The Kite Runner frequently makes use of symbols by way of important items. Three distinct watches appear in the narrative: the watch with the blue face and lightning bolt hands that Amir uses to frame Hassan; General Taheri’s pocket watch, which he winds every day as he waits for Afghanistan’s monarchy to be restored; and the watch Amir gives to Wahid’s starving boys. What might these watches symbolize? Support your answer with surrounding context .
The Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell presents an ancient pattern of tropes that are ever-present in the themes and motifs of The Kite Runner . When Amir receives Rahim Khan’s phone call, he is literally answering the call to action, which beckons the hero of myth into adventure. What other heroic patterns of the hero’s journey does Amir fulfill?
