The narrator begins the story by proclaiming, "I became what I am today at the age of twelve". Who is our narrator? Describe him.
Our narrator in the novel "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, is Amir. Amir is a boy at the begining of the novel, and later grows up into a man. He has obvious issues with himself, mostly attached to his childhood "friend", Hassan. He seems to be a little bit manipulative of Hassan, with no compassion to his situations. Amir takes his extremely loyal friend for granted time after time, eventually losing him altogether. He then realizes what he has done. He is sort of overshadowed by his father, Baba's, personality. They have a unique father-son relationship as we find out later in the book.
Amir is ultimately a person that knows right from wrong, but is easily tempted and lets fear get the best of him.
