“The Kite Runner”‚ has been interpreted differently. Some claim that Hosseini is targeting the American readers‚ enlightening them about Afghanistan‚ some say that he is concerned about the effects of the war in Afghanistan and some presume that he’s just writing a story with no motives whatsoever.

What intrigues me is the Jesus that Bulgakov displays doesn’t like the secretary going after him almost in a secretive type of way. There are many sentences and some paragraphs about the nature of humans‚ atheism‚ totalitarianism‚ and humanity.

Redemption is portrayed as an important theme in the text The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Throughout the novel‚ several characters attempt to redeem themselves of the sinful deeds in the past by scarification.
