Greater understanding of the Novel

Reserching kite running, helped me greater understand the story; kite flying was a very crucial theme of the book. This research, helped me figure out some symbolism that I was unsure of. The kites represent so many things. They represent so many various feelings and emotions as the story progresses on. Amir saw kite flying as a way to finally gain Baba's love and approval for once. Amir flying kites with Hassan, bought them both joy and happiness, but once Assef had raped Hassan for not giving him Amir's blue kite. The kites, also symbolized betrayl, guilt, and depression. At the end of The Kite Runner, when Sohrab runs the kite with Amir, a sign of hope was exemplified. This could also symbolize Amir's redemption.
