Certainly! An example of assonance in "The Kite Runner" is: "A half smile tugged at the corner of his lips." The repetition of the "uh" sound in "tugged" and "corner" creates an assonance that adds a musical quality to the language.

Give an example of assonance from the poem Those Winter Sundays?

...by Robert Hayden, a U.S.A poet. You can squirm around it to find assonance but, as this is a non-rhyming poem, it is disingenuous to say that 'ached' and 'made' in the first stanza are examples of assonance, or 'dress' and 'house' in the second, or 'cold' and 'know' in the third. But these are the only vaguely assonant lines and they appear different points in those stanzas. So whoever told you that this was a piece of work with good examples was talking through their assonance.
