The Kite Runner

The mandarin's daughter advises him from behind a screen in "The Golden Kite, The Silver Wind" because she is purdah-bound and forbidden from showing her face to any man other than her husband. This cultural practice restricts her interactions with men, so advising her father from behind a screen allows her to participate while adhering to this tradition.

In Chapter 1 of The Kite Runner, Hosseini uses a combination of flashback and foreshadowing to introduce the narrative. He begins with a present-day scene that hints at a troubling event in the past, setting up the mystery around the protagonist's guilt and redemption. Hosseini also employs vivid sensory details and descriptive language to immerse the reader in the setting of Kabul, creating a strong sense of time and place.

Amir tells Baba he thinks he has cancer as an attempt to explain his recent behaviors and to seek forgiveness for keeping secrets about Hassan's assault from Baba. Amir believes that by sharing this news, Baba might understand the guilt and burden he has been carrying.

The irony of a story is when things do not always end the way you expect them to. You expect the ending to be one way, yet something ironic occurs to change the ending of the story completely.

Yes, it has. Here is a link with its image. http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/3623122/

Stealing is considered wrong because it violates the rights of others and goes against ethical principles. However, whether it is the "greatest" sin is subjective and depends on individual beliefs and values. In many ethical systems, murder or other forms of harm to others might be considered more severe sins.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah is the secretary-general of the Lebanese group Hezbollah (or "Party of God"). Hezbollah is a Shi'ite Muslim military and political group, formed after Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic regime in Lebanon. As a young man Nasrallah spent three years in an Islamic seminary in Najaf, Iraq, but left the country with the rise of Saddam Hussein.Upon his return to Lebanon he studied and taught at a religious school run by Abbas al-Masawi, who later led Hezbollah. Nasrallah became leader of Hezbollah after Masawi was killed in a 1993 Israeli attack. Nasrallah is a charismatic and incendiary speaker who has mixed a populist social welfare policy with a steady drumbeat of anti-Israel rhetoric and border warfare. Hezbollah's attacks on Israel in July of 2006, which prompted intense Israeli counterattacks in Lebanon, brought Nasrallah even more into the public eye.

When a kite comes down head first, it is likely due to the wind direction and speed. If the wind is too strong or turbulent, it can cause the kite to lose stability and flip over. Adjusting the flying angle or adding a tail to the kite can help prevent it from coming down head first.

In chapter 5 of "Lord of the Flies," Jack dismisses the littleuns' fear and believes they should not be worried about the beast. He asserts that there is no monster on the island and encourages them to join his tribe for protection and safety. Jack sees their fear as a tool to manipulate them into joining his group.

In chapter 11 of "The Kite Runner," Baba uses his wristwatch to pay for food and transportation after fleeing Afghanistan. He exchanges the watch for goods and services he needs while trying to survive in a new country.

He is treated in various ways by various different characters throughout the book. Amir treats him as a brother (ironic really) or anincredible close friend, though he doesn't realise the depth of his actions towards Hassan in a brotherly way when he is a child. Baba is surprisingly protective and kind to Hassan even though he is his servant's son, the true reason for this is revealed later in the book. Assef treats Hassan in a very racist and prejudiced way, perhaps almost as though he is an item rather than a person. Hope this helps a little. xx

Yes, "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini does make a reference to the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In the novel, Baba quotes lines from the Rubaiyat in Farsi when discussing the importance of being true to oneself and one's values.

Rahim Khan's story about the soccer game highlights the deep friendship and loyalty between Hassan and Amir. It also illustrates the power dynamics in their relationship, with Hassan showing selflessness and unwavering loyalty towards Amir despite their different social statuses. Additionally, the story foreshadows the themes of betrayal, guilt, and redemption that unfold throughout the novel.

In "The Kite Runner," winter was every kid's favorite season in Kabul because it brought snow for playing, schools were closed, and there were kite tournaments held on rooftops. This gave children the opportunity to spend time with their friends, fly kites, and experience moments of joy and excitement amidst the difficult circumstances in Afghanistan.

The tail causes drag and keeps the kite stable. By pulling down, on the part of the kite it is attached to, it keeps it orientated upright and more stable.
The longer the tail, the more drag. A short tail, may not be enough in a strong wind to stabilise the kite. A tail that is too long, may cause difficulties in getting it off the ground in a light wind.

Rules:

1: Participants flying kites must be wearing pink socks, with yellow trousers. This is to ensure your kites aren't military weapons, or spying equipment.

Guilt and redemption are main themes in chapter 20-21 of The Kite Runner. Amir grapples with his guilt over betraying Hassan, while seeking redemption by helping Sohrab, Hassan's son. Amir's actions reflect his desire to atone for his past mistakes and make amends for his betrayal.

Amir observes that because Amir and Soraya are talking, people will talk. But they will talk more about Soraya than they will about Amir, because he is male. "the afghan double standard favors my gender."

A "Man v. Man" Conflict in Literature would mean two physical beings, one the Protagonist, and the other the Antagonist. A good example would be the relationship between Harry Potter and the Dark Lord Voldemort.

A branch of Islam - he is a Pushtan Muslim. There are 4 ethnic groupings, Pushtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras and Uzbeks. Amir is Pushtun and Hassan is Hazara.

she is the mother of Soraya, and the wife of General Taheri.

He is taking care of Baba's house when the Taliban come and order him to leave immediately. He refuses and tells them he is looking over the house for his master. They then take him into a back alley, order him to kneel and shoot him. His wife, runs after them and is shot too.

I would say the main turning point for Amir is witnessing Hassan getting raped by Assef.

He was not brave enough to help him or even admit that he saw it happen, which stayed with him forever.

This event also contributed in causing Amir to rescue Hassan's son from the Taliban group Assef was in towards the end of the book.

Nausea, Amir kept getting sick on the truck when fleeing Afghanistan
