1.The story took place in the beggining in Afghanistan. Amir, the main character, is a boy who grows up with a Hazaran boy, who is also his servant, and they become best friends, but Amir doesnt want to admit to other people that they are friends. Amir would always pick on Hassan, the Hazaran boy, because he was illiterate, but Hassan didnt care. All the boys in the town would go once a year to a part of the neighborhood and have these kite fights, and Hassan, was the best kite runner in the whole city. When Amir one the contest Hassan ran after the kite and found it, running into Aseff, a horrible bully. Hassan wouldnt give him the kite and was raped. Amir was watching from a distance and didnt do anything, or tell anyone because he was too scared. Amir framed Hassan for stealing his birthday money, and Hassan and his father quit and moved out. After years of not seeing eachother, Amir moved to America, while Hassan stayed in Afghanistan. Amir went back to Afghanistan to see his fathers old friend,who was dying and told Amir that Hassan was actually his half brother, and that his father was to ashamed to say so. Hassan and his wife were shot and killed and left their son an orphan. Amir was to get Hassan's son out of the orphanage and taken to a safer place. After Amirs struggle to get to Hassans son, he brought him back to America with his wife and they adopted him.
2. Amir was never one to take chances. Now he has no choice but to go get his nephew out of a horrible place and to get forgiveness from his dead half-brother.
3. The authors tone is more of a saddening and depressed kinda feeling in the beginning, but more towards the end, it becomes more inspirational.
