Explanation:

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini tells the story, the friendship of Amir and Hassan, his servant. It deals with the theme of discovering one's identity and the conflict between what is right and wrong.

Chapter 7 shows the kite flying competition where Amir has successfully won. Hassan had ran to retrieve the prized "blue kite" for Amir, but ended up tortured by Assef and his friends. But even though he saw the ra pe of Hassan, Amir did nothing. He even admitted "In the end, I ran.  I ran because I was a coward. I was afraid of Assef and what he would do  to me". Once the ordeal was over, and the boys had left, he saw Hassan return with the kite. But Amir could not make himself inquire about the well being of his friend. he said "He had the blue kite in his hands; that was the first thing I saw. And I can't  lie now and say my eyes didn't scan it for any rips". He admitted to checking on the safety of the kite rather than his human companion, despite knowing what he had just been through.
