Along the way, readers are able to experience growing up in Afghanistan in a single-parent home, a situation that bears remarkable similarities to many contemporary households. In addition to typical childhood experiences, Amir struggles with forging a closer relationship with his father, Baba with determining the exact nature of his relationship with Hassan, his Shi'a Muslim servant and eventually with finding a way to atone for pre-adolescent decisions that have lasting repercussions. An adult Amir opens the novel in the present-day United States with a vague reference to one of these events, and then the novel flashes back to Amir's childhood in Afghanistan. The Kite Runner is the story of Amir, a Sunni Muslim, who struggles to find his place in the world because of the aftereffects and fallout from a series of traumatic childhood events. ![]()
