The novel is presented in the form of a flashback of a man named Amir. Readers follow Amir as he recalls his boyhood in Afghanistan. Amir talks about his experiences with his young friend Hassan whose father is a servant for Amir and his father, Baba. We see some of the major events that take place during the time of the king being overthrown. One of the major turning points in the novel is during the kite-fighting tournament. Amir sees something extremely negative happen to Hassan and pretends that he didn’t see it happen. Young readers will see Amir deal with the guilt and follow him through the years and his escape from Kabal. This novel is great to read with news articles of the issues that were occurring at this time in Afghanistan. It is extremely important for students to have background knowledge of the vents that have occurred and having students connect news articles to the novel can be beneficial to their learning.
