(Khaled Hosseini)
This story is about a man named Amir, who tells the tale of his life,beginning with his innocent days as a young, wealthy boy, who enjoyedplaying with his servant's son, Hassan. The two are the best offriends, although Amir often regrets admitting it, as Hassan is muchlower in status. The story builds a foundation onthe fact that Amir is constantly vying for his proud, headstrongfather's affections. Sometimes he even feels as though he has not comefrom his father's blood, because of his lack of courage and pride. One day, during an annual kite-flying competition,Amir manages to make his father extremely proud by winning. All he mustdo is retrieve the loser's kite, which is Hassan's job. Hassan, afaithful servant to Amir, does everything in his power to capture thekite. When Hassan doesn't return from his kite hunt, Amir goes out tolook for him, only to find that Hassan is in big trouble with the richvillage bullies in the middle of a dark alley. Rather than jump out anddefend Hassan, as Amir's father would have done at his age, Amir hidesout and witnesses the nightmare Hassan must deal with for the rest ofhis life. After encountering the horrible event thattook place in that alley, and feeling very uncomfortable about it, Amirselfishly finds a way to get rid of Hassan and his servant father fromthe house. For the rest of his life, from his tragicflee out of Kabul as a teenager, to his impoverished struggle as animmigrant in America, Amir searches for a way to save himself."
