Author Khaled Hosseini uses a variety of literary devices
to present his point of view in The Kite Runner. The protagonist,
Amir, serves as the constant narrator with the exception of Chapter 16, when the
narration is taken over by Rahim Khan. Since the story is actually told by Amir in
retrospect, the reader is given a glimpse of many different aspects of his personality
and inner consciousness. Amir shifts constantly from dialogue to long descriptive
passages. Because he tells his story from an adult perspective, Amir's reflection upon
past events allows for such devices as foreshadowing, flashback, imagery and
metaphorical symbolism. The reader also is given a basic lesson in the Farsi and Pashtun
language: Hosseini's characters use many common Afghan words, usually followed
by translations. Internal monologue is also used frequently to describe the inner
feelings of Amir and other characters.
