Hosseini graduated from Independence High School in San Jose in 1984 and enrolled at Santa Clara University, where he earned a bachelors degree in biology in 1988. The following year, he entered the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, where he earned his M.D. in 1993. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1996. He practiced medicine until a year and a half after the release of The Kite Runner .The Kite Runner ,His first novel,was an international bestseller, published in thirty-eight countries. In 2006 he was named a goodwill envoy to UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency. He lives in northern California. His second, A Thousand Splendid Suns, was released on May 22, 2007. In 2008, the book was the bestselling novel in the UK (as of April 11, 2008), with more than 700,000 copies sold.Looking at The Kite Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing for acceptance, redemption and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are universal. .The Kite Runner follows the story of Amir, the privileged son of a wealthy businessman in Kabul, and Hassan, the son of Amirs fathers servant. As children in the relatively stable Afghanistan of the early 1970s, the boys are inseparable. They spend idyllic days running kites and telling stories of mystical places and powerful warriors until an unspeakable event changes the nature of their relationship forever, and eventually cements their bond in ways neither boy could have ever predicted. Even after Amir and his father flee to America, Amir remains haunted by his cowardly actions and disloyalty. In part, it is these demons and the sometimes impossible quest for forgiveness that bring him back to his war-torn native land after it comes under Taliban rule.The ThemeThe Kite Runner is a story with all the grand themes of literature and life. It is a vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long Khaled Hosseinis people have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence. It is about friendship and betrayal and the arbitrary price of loyalty. Themes of love, honor, guilt, fear and redemption are all included in this extraordinary novelprotagonist主角 Pashtun普什图人 AmirAmir is the protagonist and narrator. He was born in 1963, and his mother died giving birth. He is a Pashtun. As a child, Amir delighted himself with storytelling and was encouraged by Rahim Khan to become an author. At age eighteen, he and his father flee to America following the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, where Amir pursues his dream of being a writer. HassanHassan is Amirs closest childhood friend. He is described as having a China doll face, green eyes, and a cleft lip. The reader eventually discovers that Hassan is actually the son of Baba and Sanaubar, although Hassan never knows this during his lifetime. Hassan is shot by the Taliban.然后露出一脸哈桑式的微笑，消失在然后露出一脸哈桑式的微笑，消失在街角之后。再一次看到他笑得如此灿街角之后。再一次看到他笑得如此灿烂，已经是二十六年后，在一张退色烂，已经是二十六年后，在一张退色的宝丽莱照片上。的宝丽莱照片上。”他的橡胶靴子提起阵阵雪花，已经飞奔到街角的拐角他的橡胶靴子提起阵阵雪花，已经飞奔到街角的拐角处。他停了下来，转身，双手放在嘴边，说：处。他停了下来，转身，双手放在嘴边，说：为你，为你，千千万万遍！千千万万遍！For you , a thousand times over.I admire your notion of fair odds,mister.我很佩服你公我很佩服你公平竞争。平竞争。Children arent coloring books , you dont get to fill them with your favourite colors. 小孩子不是着色本，小孩子不是着色本，你不能逼他涂上你要的颜色你不能逼他涂上你要的颜色love the book Id started reading The Kite Runner several times, and I found that before long I was unable to put the book down. I really enjoyed Hosseinis style of writing and the way he was able to provide so much detail yet leave the reader able to comprehend what he is saying.Initially, I did not sympathize with Amirs regret after the cowardice he displayed towards Hassan, but my mind gradually changed as the plot unfolded. I could only think how wrong it was to betray someone like he did, especially after all Hassan had done for him. After all, it was Hassan and his slingshot that prevented Amir from getting beat up by Assef. However, as I thought of the other aspects of Amirs life, such as the acceptance he so desperately wanted from his father and the typical Afghan treatment of the Hazaras, I began to see the difficulties he was constantly facing. I was also reminded that Amir was only twelve at the time of the incident, and that no child that young should be subject to experiences such as the ones he had to tolerate.My understanding of the bookAfter I read the book , I think about humanity. Everyone has his kite and everyone is a kite runner at the same time. We must and have to be brave to take the responsibilities that belong to us and admit the errors we made.We should not betrayal our heart. One should never be too selfish.Just like Hassan ,we can learn to be loyalty. And we ought to cherish friendship . Just as lyrics which describes friendship: If I lost my way ,youd carry me home , take me all the way to heaven never leave me alone.Friendship never ends.
