daughter thus treated may grow up to hit the thank-you trifecta (therapist, co-writer, her own cherished children) as she evens the score.

And thank Hollywood and hippies for the excesses that are described here (like a movie star dad who explains that marijuana is an herb, like parsley). Tara Bray Smith, whose "West of Then" describes growing up in Hawaii with a drug-addicted mother, has her own version of a trouble-in-paradise story.

Name:________________________ October 2011 The Kite Runner: Khaled Hosseini English 12 Advanced Placement: Literature Panel Discussions The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is distinctly a study in human nature: a study in fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, love, honor, guilt, fear and redemption. “It is a story that spans from the 1979 Soviet invasion until the reconstruction following the fall of the odious Taliban” (Kenneth Champeon 1). Divided into three books, the first book depicts pre-revolutionary Afghanistan in rich warmth and humor, but also the tense friction between the nation’s different ethnic groups; the second book depicts father and son escaping the hands of the Taliban, while trying to maintain their ancient standards of honor and pride, and the third book reiterates the suffering of Afghanistan under the tyranny of the Taliban. [In total, Kite Runner] is an engaging story of people struggling to triumph over the forces of violence – forces that continue to threaten [the same society in Afghanistan] today (Edward Hower 2). Each of the following prompts will be used as a platform for panel discussions on the Kite Runner the week of Tuesday, October 11 through Tuesday, October 18.
In Khaled Hosseini’s book The Kite Runner, Hosseini describes the relationship between Amir, a young, upper class Pashtun boy from a wealthy family, and Hassan, a young Hazara boy who lives in his home as Amir’s servant. The two boys are close friends and, later, turn out to be brothers. The author has written about the close friendship that the two boys had and highlighted many of the social and historical issues that the boys had confronted, such as the discrimination and persecution of Hazara people by the Pashtun majority, the overthrow of the Afghan monarchy, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the rise of the Taliban regime. Even though the author highlights these aspects of Afghanistan, he still focuses on the friendship between the two boys with these issues remaining in the background of the story. He uses these issues as a basis for his story, not to be the center of it.
