Juxtaposition is seen when Hassan is fulfilling the many chores‚ and Amir is eating

Summer Reading: The Kite Runner Betrayal “I had one last chance to make a decision. One final opportunity to decide who I was going to be. I could step into that alley‚ stand up for Hassan‚ the way he’d stood up for me all those times in the past‚ and accept whatever would happen to me. Or I could run.

Baba calls the mullah and men like him bearded idiots and explains to Amir that theft‚ in its many variations‚ is the only true sin. Baba obviously does not respect the beliefs of the mullah‚ yet he still has his own moral code. Amir consequently grows up with a strong sense of morality‚ though it is entirely separate

Motif In The Kite Runner‚ the lamb’s purpose is to show the sacrifice of an innocent being. The author used the motif of the lamb in the novel because lambs are often used for sacrifice and the novel brings up sacrifice in many different ways. At different points of the story‚ Amir compares Hassan and Sohrab to lambs ready to be slaughtered. During Assef’s attack on Hassan‚ Amir says ““Assef knelt behind hassan‚ put his hands on Hassan’s hips and lifted his bare buttocks. He kept one hand on Hassan’s

“The acorn does not fall far from the tree‚” suggest that parents and lineage are the greatest influence. Others believe that role models are more influential. Another cliché “like father‚ like son” did not derive out of nowhere. The book‚ The Kite Runner‚ by Khaled Hossieni‚ exemplifies this belief.
