Conflicts/Problems

There are several different conflicts in The Kite Runner. One of them involves Amir and Hassan, both are victims and the protagonists. The evil antagonist here is a man named Assef, who knew the boys for a ong time. Throughout the years, Assef has been tormenting Amir and Hassan without any punishment. But one day, He crossed the line. Amir was too busy winning a kite flying tournament to witness Hassan being attacked and raped by Assef, and once again hasn't been punished for it. There is really no resolution, the hole just gets deeper. Assef now joined the Taliban. This is a whole other conflict itself because he has begun tormenting others who are inferior to him.
Another major conflict in The Kite Runner involves one of Amir's friend named Sohrab, who happens to be Hassan's orphaned son. And once again Assef as the antagonist, and Amir is the protagonist. In the end, you can say that Sohrab is like a "hero." This conflict is a continuation of the first one, which happens years later when Amir returns to Afghanistan from the United States. with Assef now a part of the Taliban, he decides to take Sohrab away. And to use him as a sexual plaything, this is the part when someone needs to come in and bring Sohrab home to the family he truly deserves. Amir soon realizes that the only way to free his dear friend from his misery is to, physically fight Assef. This doesn't go well for Amir, he suffers a brutal beating and is left hopeless. But there is a resolution, Sohrab is the one to defend and save Amir from Assef with just his slingshot.
With Amir back in the United States, he is trying to find a way to bring Sohrab along. But there were so many bureaucratic problems and obstacles that made it so difficult to do so. Amir is told that the only way that Sohrab can come is if he is placed into an orphanage temporarily, Sohrab doesn't enjoy the news and attempts to committ suicide. This is another conflict. Sohrab is saved, but loses all trust in Amir. It is only until participating in a kite flying tournament when sohrab comes out and begins his process of healing. And Amir takes his final stab at repaying the sin he committed to Hassan, Sohrab's father.
