The Kite Runner End

Kite

The kite is mentioned throughout the book. Khaled Hosseini makes it obvious that the kite is supposed to mean something but never makes it clear as to what it means. Throughout the book, the kite is only mentioned when Amir is talking about his past. 

"For me, America was a place to bury my memories. For Baba, a place to mourn his."(Hosseini, pg 129). Amir goes to America in hopes that he can forget about his past but is reminded  of it when he sees kites. 

The kite represents that Amir is holding onto his past and the kite is him letting go of his past. The kite represents his past and he is letting go of it and accepting what he did.
