Some important vocabulary terms from this book include the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul. Afghanistan is a country in Asia that borders Pakistan. Peshawar is a city in Pakistan. Two of the major ethnic groups in that region include the Pashtun and Hazara. I believe the word Baba, which means father, will be the most important of these words in chapter 1 because it tells the story of the character and his father.

Afghanistan is located in Asia. Its capital is Kabul, and one of the bordering countries is Pakistan. The geography is mostly mountainous, dry, and landlocked, with the Hindu Kush as a major mountain range. Around 1975, Mohammad Daoud Khan led Afghanistan as a republic after overthrowing the monarchy in 1973. This period matters in The Kite Runner because Amir grew up during political change and instability that eventually led to conflicts involving major powers.

I used Khaled Hosseini’s official biography from his official website. The page does not give an exact date for when it was published or updated. I think the source has excellent authority, accuracy, and relevance. I would use it for a school assignment because the information comes directly from the author’s official website.
