 * __Kite Runner__

Theme: Infertility** The theme infertility plays a major role in understanding the book Kite Runner, in that, Amir treated Hassan poorly all throughout their childhood causing infertility Sohraya's infertility. One thing Amir wanted the most was having a child of his own. According to Amir, "When the tests were over, he explained that he couldn't explain why we couldn't have kids. And, apparently, that wasn't so unusual. It was called "Unexplained Infertility"" (Hosseini 184). As stated in the quote, 'we couldn't have kids', Amir's treatment towards Hassan has finally caught up to him. It not only effected Amir but now his wife, Sohraya. Since their marriage, they wanted nothing else but to have children. However, the 'unexplained infertility' causes otherwise. While Amir and Hassan were children, Amir had treated him poorly which the infertility of Sohraya can be related to karma going back to Amir because of his treatment towards Hassan. This theme is a major role in the book Kite Runner because it helps the reader better understand the effects of Amir and Hassan's childhood relationship later on in Amir's life.

The killing of Hassan was a major event helping the reader better understand the book Kite Runner. This event was what capped off all of the unfortunate events that happened throughout Hassan's life. According to Rahim Khan, "The Taliban moved into the house. The pretext was that they had evicted a trespasser. Hassan's and Farzana's murderers were dismissed as a case of self-defense" (Hosseini 219). As stated in the quote, 'Hassan's and Farzana's murderers were dismissed as a case of self-defense', this shows that Hassan's death was in vain. Hassan had always been the one doing the right thing, even throughout all the mishaps that he had. First being a Hazara, having cleft lip, being raped, and then deciding to leave his home with nowhere to go. His death was disrespectful to his character because of how strong Hassan was through all the hardships in his life. This event is a major piece in understanding Kite Runner because it shows the irony of how someone so good could end up so mistreated throughout his life.
 * Event: Killing of Hassan**

Early in the lives of Hassan and Amir, Sohrab had been a character that had brought them together because how they had noth liked this mythical character. Later in the book, the name Sorhab would bring them back together. According to Amir, " Hassan had loved me once, loved me in a way that no one ever had or ever would again. He was gone now, but a little part of him lived on. It was in Kabul" (Hosseini 227). As stated in the quote, 'a little part of him lived on' and that little part was Hassan's son Sohrab. Amir had gone to visit Rahim Khan, and during that visit, he had found that Hassan had been killed and that Hassan was actually his half brother. Amir had also found out that Hassan had a son who was still alive. Amir then felt that he and Hassan really had a great bond together and that he still felt horrible because of how he let Hassan get raped in front of him. After some persuasion by Rahim Khan, Amir wants to adopt Sohrab and bring him to America. Sohrab was the person who could help Amir feel like he is close to Hassan again and help repay Hassan for everything that Amir had done before to Hassan.
