      The Kite Runner provides an emotionally cathartic experience for its readers.
       How does Hosseini produce this experience?



      “Things like setting and characters are transferable, unlike the more
       universal structures and paradigms of story-telling”. Could the story of The
       Kite Runner unfold with equal force in other places, settings, periods and
       with different characters? Why or why not?



      The Kite Runner, like many fine pieces of literature, is well crafted. Examine
       Hosseini’s style of writing, and explore his methods of narration which lend
       the novel lasting power.
