The scars of our past are said to have established a place in our present, however visible or invisible, and that these scars, over time, are removed before our future selves. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini tells the story of a man, Amir, who recounts his life during times of peace and conflict in Afghanistan, and his life in the United States. It tells the life of a man who tries to escape his shameful past, but as a result is constantly lost and incomplete. As the story revolves around Amir's life, from childhood to adulthood, Hosseini uses Amir's first-person point of view, various uses of diction, and the symbolism of kites to reveal the underlying message of how the past is a part of who we were and who we are today. The first point of view used in the book allows Amir to accurately convey his emotions and thoughts, including his reasons for trying to forget and escape from the past, and ultimately his reconciliation with himself. From the beginning, Amir personally describes a past that he wishes to erase from his life: the death of his mother. He believes his father "hated him a little" (p. 17) for "killing" (p. 17) his mother during childbirth. Amir believes that his distant relationship with Baba is due to his mother's death and therefore wishes to cover up his "sin" (p. 16) by trying to make his father "forget" (p. 93). Amir's assumption of his father's distance shows the high subjectivity of narrative perspective. Amir's internal conflict with his past is further revealed by his own words as the story progresses. During a kite flying competition, Amir and his dearest "friend" (p. 98) and "servant" (p. 98), Hassan, manage to defeat dozens of other kite flyers and win the competition. paper ......Panjsher Valley” (p. 401) on his lips. Amir's perception of his identity primarily revolved around the kite. So when she banished him from her life, a part of him was lost. Only when he reconciled and accepted the kite back into his life did he feel truly fulfilled in his identity. The scars that Amir tried to hide with long shirts and pants are exposed to the world as he tells the story of his life, from beginning to end. present. Hosseini uses the intimacy of the first-person point of view, the intertwined dimensions within the diction, and the weight of symbolism to show that one is incomplete in identity with oneself and the world with missing fragments, including scars. Hosseini does not try to cut off the long pants and shorts to humiliate a person's life, but rather to show him that scars are also part of life and that their revelation is a step towards a beautiful end..
