Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner follows the maturation of Amir, a male from Afghanistan who needs to find his way in the world as he realizes that his own belief system is not that of his dominant culture. As an adult, Amir also needs a way to atone for a childhood indiscretion, when an act of cowardice costs him more than just a friendship. Set in Afghanistan and the United States, The Kite Runner is a bildungsroman (or coming-of-age story) that illustrates the similarities as well as the differences between the two countries and the two vastly different cultures.

Two separate review modes let you customize your study experience.

· Prescriptive “Cram Plan” orders the content of the app to give you exactly what you need to know in the time that you have.

· The Full Study Plan provides the app’s complete content so you can read through at your own pace.
