INTRODUCTION

The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, stares Amir, a boy born and raised in Afghanistan.  He is always getting into bad situations but is often saved by his servant/friend Hassan.  As a kid, he encounters an extremely challenging situation involving the betrayal of his servant/friend, Hassan.  He makes the wrong decision leaving him with a life engulfed by guilt.  He then spends the next 26 years subconsciously looking for a way to redeem himself and atone for his sins.  The author uses one positive and two negative key relationships to show the readers that what happens in one relationship can largely affect what happens in another relationship.  These three relationships include Amir and Hassan, Amir and Baba and Amir and Sohrab.
