Historical

Khaled Hosseini based his book //The Kite Runner// on the terror implicated by the Taliban with in the Afghani community. According to a BBC reporter, the novel was driven by a variety of themes found within the novel are based on the vast hardship that the Afghani people experienced during the 1970’s. Haviland claims, “It deals with poignant themes such as exile, a son's longing to please his father and - above all - friendship and betrayal between two boys, the novel's central characters” (Haviland). Such themes are considered “poignant” because of their historical practicality and realism. These themes are driven by the events occurring in during the 1970’s, mainly the dominance of the Taliban during the time period.
