The Kite Runner chapters 1-3
Chapter 1: The setting of the story begins in San Francisco in December 2001, two months after 9/11. We don’t know the narrator’a name yet. Soon the narrator is contacted by an old friend, Rahim Khan, and wants the narrator to come visit him back in Pakistan. The narrator refused going to visit, to avoid his past doings.
Chapter 2: We are introduced to a new character by the name Hassan. Hassan and the narrator are friends. Chapter 2 mainly talks about the early childhood of the narrator and his friend Hassan back in Kabul. Hassan’s family lived on the narrators property. The narrator’s mother died during childbirth and Hassan’s mother ran away, so they both didn’t have mothers, which made them bond even more.
Chapter 3: Amir’s Father was a builder. He designed and built and orphanage. Though Amir’s father was a architect and was the talk of the town, he was really wealthy. Amir’s Father married his mother, Sofia Akrami who was also from a royal bloodline. While Baba pours himself a glass of whiskey, Amir tells him that a religious teacher at his school, Mullah Fatiullah Khan, says it is sinful for Muslims to drink alcohol. Baba tells him that there is only one sin: theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Murdering a man, for instance, is stealing his life. He calls Mullah Fatiullah Khan and men like him idiots.
