What was unique about the setting of the book and how did it emphasize or take away from the story?

    Most of this novel takes place in Kabul, Pakistan. This is where the boys grow up, and this is where Amir has to come back to to; make things good again. What was so unique of the setting of the book, is that it worked. The story line and characters fit perfectly with where it was located. The novel being in Afghanistan made the book so much more interesting where you actually learn something more than just reading a story of two boys. The way the war was incorporated and the Taliban and the Bazar and how they had to flee to America, everything made Afghanistan the perfect place for the novel to take place. It enhanced so much about the book and the writing styles and descriptive writing techniques made the setting so much easier to imagine and picture which made reading the book a lot easier and got you more interested. Afghanistan was such a great place to choose because we know that things like this do happen every day, with a servent and their master and it takes us into the minds of these characters and real people that go through some of these same situations. We learn what it's like to be a Hazara servent in Afghanistan and what it truly is like to have to flee your country and be loyal to the ones you are bound to. This story portrays all these ideas and so much more but it enhanced the story in many different ways just because the author choose Afghanistan as it's main setting.
