The Kite Runner chapter 4-5

-
Chapter 4: This chapter takes a shift back to 1933, the year Baba was born. Also, we learned that Ali’s parents are killed by drunk drivers. Amir’s grandfather took young Ali in and raised him along side Baba, but he never considered him a brother. Hassan and Amir’s situation is similar to Baba and Ali’s because they were both raised by parent figures.

Chapter 5: This chapter tells readers about the time Ali, Amir, and Hassan are caught up in between the crossfires of an invasion in 1978. The gunshots were part of a coup in which Daoud Khan, the king’s cousin, took over the government.
