Kite Fighting

Kite fighting have been pasted down from China to Indian and to Afghanistan over a 100 years ago. To the Afghani, kite fighting is a symbol of peace and hope. When the Talibans took over Afghanistan they banned kite fighting but now its back.  I think that Khaled Hosseini choose kite fighting as his the main focus because it is a big tradition there and it has such a big impact on the people. Also it brings the people together. I think that kite fighting is similar to baseball here because fathers and sons they play baseball together and bond and in the book Amir is trying to bond and build his relationship with his father.
