Kite Runner Book Comparison

In the book version of The Kite Runner there are a couple pages that briefly mention the attack on the Twin Towers and quickly touch on the character’s observations and roles during this event; however, this was not included in the film. The author may have included this information in the book as a reference in time and possibly to emphasize that no matter what is happening in our everyday lives the world will continue around us. Nevertheless, this scene was most likely cut from the movie as it was not an essential part of the story and was not required in order for the film version to advance.
