In literature, The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, the idea and representation of justice, and its relationship with that of the treatment of women in Afghan society, the Afghanistan's ever-changing politics and desired outcomes of redemption and forgiveness are illustrated through the novel's characters and motivations. Justice can be defined as the quality of being guided by truth, reason and fairness. The Kite Runner illustrates the power of influence of an external power and its effects on society, people's minds and lifestyles. In relation to the Grad-at-Grad profile of Cheverus High School, the actions and wrongdoings that take place in The Kite Runner and Afghanistan are revealed to be injustices. Amir, the main character and narrator of The Kite Runner, belongs to a wealthy family where his father is a powerful businessman. Amir is also part of the dominant Pashtun ethnic group and the Sunni religious group. Amir in The Kite Runner tells the story of his friendship with Hassan. Hassan and his father, Ali, are Amir's servants. Hassan, on the other hand, is a low-caste ethnic Hazara and belongs to the Shiite religious minority. This allows many different Afghans, such as Sunnis, who make up 85% of the Muslim faith, to persecute people like Hassan because of their religion. The division between Shiites and Sunnis dates back to the death of the prophet Muhammad and the question of who should assume leadership of the Muslim nation. Sunni Muslims agree with the position taken by many of the Prophet's companions that the new leader should be elected from among those who are eligible to hold the office. This is what was done, and the close friend and advisor of the Prophet Muhammad, Abu Bakr, because... halfway through the document... the hypothesis returns again and again. This goes for Soraya, who needs Amir to forgive her before she can marry him, and for Rahim Khan, who needs Amir to forgive him for keeping Baba's secret before he dies. "I know that in the end God will forgive. He will forgive your father, me and you too... Forgive your father if you can. Forgive me if you want to. But above all, forgive yourself." Amir is unable to forgive himself until the end of the novel, and then he sees and feels his redemption. Afghanistan since its inception has been a place of conflict, desperation and, at times, lost hope. He was taken advantage of and lost his sense of identity, which had a direct effect on his people, and his sense of what justice truly is.http://www.powells.com/authors/khaledhosseini.htmlhttp:/ /www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/titles/kiterunner/themes.html
