very useful! one little note when you mention that Hassan and Ali are sent away, if you re-read that chapter you'll find that Ali learns about the rape and then wants to leave on his own accordance stating that he doesn't want to stay anymore.

this saved me from having to read an entire book before school starts so thanks

4:58 they aren't sent away. they leave on their own accord. and also at that point it's implied that Ali knows what happened to Hassan and how Amir didn't help him

This summary video was way better than the others on the internet! Thank you so much

Just to let you know, Hassan and Amir weren't kicked out the house. Baba forgave them but Amir and Hassan decided to leave even though baba insisted them to stay.

Brilliant summary and explanation of themes the novel has. It saves a lot of time of people preparing for competitive exams. I'm grateful to you for this.

For you a thousand times over ❤️ this book is actually good

You just saved my grade. Thank you

Lovely, I ended up reading this story on my own and I'm just hoping that someone one of these days does a passionate literary in depth analysis on the book because it's such a good story (mainly because it makes me cry XD)

This is great!! Hopefully I can use it for my AP Lit test tomorrow

not me crying over a book summary video

It's very helpful. Thank you..&one little note that one of the bullying boy or the antagonist in the "Kite Runner "named as Assef. He is half paston &so, he had a contempt to Hassan from childhood. Also he is half German, so he had a violence like Hitler.

It's informative video... Thank you ❤

Really it's a great work and it was very useful mam thankyou keep going

Love the book

It's very useful. I hope I will score good. Thanks Barbara !!!

Reading this over the holidays before year 12 :)

Husseini is a pashtun writing the voice of a Hazara whom the pashtuns see as enemies and inferior. It is like if a white man writes the voice of Hassan as a black person. All the powerful characters are pashtuns and all the submissive, naive are hazaras. I dont know how people would feel if a white man wrote a novel today about black people and painting them as submissive, flat, lame, hare-lipped, no sense of changing their situation? This is the most horrifyingly one sided novel I have ever read. since it is written for the western audience who know nothing about the Hazara-Pashtun history, they assume to see Pashtun as rounded characters (heroic, bad, savior, kind, rebels etc..) while Hazaras as nothing but submissive, accepting and naive... The reality is far from that. In fact, Hazaras are porportionally more educated in the country. Husseini as a Pashtun is obviously biased and harbours tacit and subconscious racism.

Thank you ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Such an awsome book ..i really enjoy it..

Thank!

great video!

Such a good video! What mic are you using?

I watched this moving and it will forever stay with me. The young boy's rape scene was heart breaking.

Lifesaver!!! I have an exam about this book in 20min and i have not read a page😆

Still saving people to this day

Thanku mam very useful

Do u have this for Macbeth and Fr Jekyll and mr Hyde if so where do I find it

I red that novel recently ,such a meaningful story

It's BABA not Papa

correction: Khaled Hosseini went to Paris from Afghanistan because his dad was assigned to a diplomatic post at the Embassy in Paris,

Thumbs up 👍

Khaled Hosseini tells us a vivid and engaging story that reminds us of how long his people have been fighting to triumph over the forces of violence, forces that continue to threaten them even today.

What is Amir bad at?

Niiiiice👏👏👏 But ali amd hassan were not sent away ali decided that they should go because of the rape and what amir did Suhrab tries to suicide not because what happened to him in afghanistan but because ir said that he will leave him in an orphanage and came back to get him

Thank you very much🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒 But. Pleas write character

Iemand nederlands?

pov ur watching this the day b4 an english assignment is due…

The author of the book attempts to explain ethnicity problems in Afghanistan. Baba iconizes Pashtun and Hasan iconizes Hazara, the two ethnic groups in Afghanistan. But that main point is missing in this summary! Mohammad Daud was a fascist oriented Afghan. When Asef quotes him, the author tries to explain that Afghans treat Hazaras the way German Fascists treated Jews.

Common mistake, Afghanistan is not in the Middle East but rather in Central Asia!

I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW IF I DON'T PASS ITS OVER

Just a little correction. :) Afghanistan is not part of the Middle East.

The 1960s wasn't a great time for all in Afghanistan. There was a lot of descrimination. My grandparents could barely get water due to the goverment restriction based on their ethnicity.

AFGHANISTAN IS NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

Afghanistan is in Central Asia, not the Middle East. Also, the suggestion that Amir is a symbol of Afghanistan is too simplistic and reductive. Your recap of the historical context is full of errors. The king was not backed by the USSR. Otherwise, not bad.

Amir didn't hide a hide money under Hassan's pillow, it was a watch.

BabA

He hid his watch under Hassan's pillow not money

please drink some water

I’m sorry…. this summary is horrible. It leaves out so many important details… even for a summary, this is too vague

So sorry to point out but the sssssss sound you make while speaking is so damn annoying. I couldn't concentrate even for a minute.
