Hosseini uses pathetic fallacy to show the mood is about to change. He uses the colours 'pink' and 'purple' to describe the sky, which may also symbolise the colour of bruises, to show what is about to happen to Hassan.
the two main ones i know are the slingshot and the kite. the slingshot represents security and power. when assef threatens amir and hassan, Hassan uses his slingshot to scare assef away. in the second example which occurs at the end, Sohrab, Hassan's son, takes a shot at assef when he wouldn't stop beating amir. Sohrab blinds him in order to protect Amir. The kite mostly represents escapism. During the kite competition, amir forgets about his father and the way he is treated; he focuses only on kite flying. On the other hand, when Hassan decides to run the last kite that was cut by Amir for him, he bumps into Assef, who demands that he should either hand over the kite or get beaten up. Hassan, refuses out of pride and loyalty to his friend. Therefore, he is first beaten by Assef and his two friends, and then Assef rapes him.
The kite soared by me like a jet on a runway The kite flew by me as graceful as an Eagle!
A kite string is a string which connects a kite to the person flying it. The string not only prevents the kite from flying away but actually keeps it flying by assuring that it does not turn from the wind.
No. Kite is a long I word. The E is silent.
