Analysis
Background • The story of The Kite Runner is fictional, but it is rooted in real political and historical events ranging from the last days of the Afghan monarchy in the 1970s to the post-Taliban near present. It is also based on Hosseini's memories of growing up in the Wazir Akbar Khan section of Kabul and adapting to life in California.
My thoughts
Everyone has his kite and everyone is a kite runner at the same time. We have to be brave to take the responsibilities that belong to us and admit the mistakes we made. We should not betray our heart. One should never be too selfish. Just like Hassan ,we should learn to be loyalty. And we ought to cherish friendship. As the saying goes,‘Friendship is like health， the value of which is seldom known until it is lost.’
Themes of The Kite Runner
• "themes of literature and life". • "vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long Khaled Hosseini's people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence". • about "friendship and betrayal" and the arbitrary "price of loyalty". • "love, honor, guilt, fear and redemption" are all included in this "extraordinary novel".
