Hassan has to journey back to his childhood hut after
being attacked by Assef and his friends. He was retrieving the prized, defeated kite for
his friend for whom he would do anything. His friend, Amir, witnessed the attack and did
not intervene in fear. The journey home represents the turning point in their
relationship of best friends. Despite Hassan's apparent injuries and emotional distress,
Amir does nothing to help him. Amir turns from his friend toward another
path.
The journey of escape from Afghanistan of Amir and
his father to the US represents a major turning point in the father-son relationship.
Amir becomes the son he always wanted to be to the father who has crumbled from his once
superior status in the Afghan society.
Amir's journey back
to Afghanistan to redeem himself by saving Hassan's son is his path to redemption for
betraying his childhood friend. Through this journey, Amir is able to bury his past
transgressions and forge a path to the future. With the love of his wife and the slow
recovery of his dead, best friend's traumatized son, Amir will find peace inside,
something he has not felt since childhood.
