Conflict In The Kite Runner
In chapter twenty four of The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir explains to Sohrab that there are bad people in this world and some people stay bad and sometimes you have to stand up to them. Throughout the novel, Amir has committed some cowardly acts in the face of danger or conflict. Except in chapter twenty four he seems to have changed his attitude towards conflict in a brave manor, to stand up for what he believes in and for the greater good of others. Amir confronts “Assef” (pg 295) when he goes to rescue Sohrab from Kabul. Amir facing this “bully” from his past and now present, was a flash back to his childhood, when he could run from Assef, but now there is no running. “[Amir and Assef] have some unfinished business…” (pg300)
