Summary Of Connections To The Kite Runner '

Connections to the Kite Runner By: Sukhjinder Sanghera.

In the novel, “Kite Runner” written by Khaled Hosseini from chapters eight to twelve I formed many various connections with the protagonist, Amir. Amir as a young boy would desperately seek Baba’s attention, which became a major reason why Amir felt pressured to participate in the kite flying competition. However, when he finally got Baba’s approval, Amir once thought this would strengthen their relationship, but in reality, Amir finally realized that Baba’s approval was useless. Amir and Baba were in a heated discussion about what Amir planned to do after high school and when he mentioned that he would like to major in English, Baba was dumbfounded. He was upset that his son was going

The main protagonist is called, “Arthur” who also like Amir is trying to redeem himself by trying to right his wrongs. Arthur is portrayed as an outlaw in the twentieth century and is a member of Van Der Linde's gang, showing intense loyalty to his family and doesn’t question the orders he’s given. We can compare this to Hassan and his unwavering loyalty because both of these men share this unconditional love they have for their loved ones and both show compassion. Arthur suffers a lot of death throughout the course, but like Amir, he pretends to go on with life as usual and forget about it. In doing so, both Amir and Arthur try to cope with this by writing it down in their journals and talking about flashbacks where there was one point in life when everything seemed to be well. They are both trying to deny the things that occurred, like Amir, who’s now focusing on finding someone suitable for marriage, and Arthur, who’s continuing to protect his family. It’s fascinating to see this dynamic of how both of these characters grow in development (personal growth) and are trying to achieve the same goal, which is finding redemption. However, in doing so, they both encounter many challenges like Amir being in this stage of denial and Arthur discovering the diagnosis and what it means. I think these chapters may also foreshadow the following events of Amir trying to make amends for what happened with Hassan, whereas Arthur, realizing he has little to time left, tries to do acts of kindness and self-sacrifice to forgive himself for the reckless actions he did in his past. Overall, it is believed that both characters are reconsidering their life choices and trying to find a way how one could redeem one’s self and with this closure they both need for them to move on with their
