While reading The Kite Runner several conflicts are present. These conflicts come in the form of internal and external. Some may be more dominant than others. Also I feel as if some of the conflicts have yet to develop. One of the internal conflicts that i have noticed is the situation that occurred with Amir and Hazzan. When introduced in the first chapter, there was an incident that apparently caused Amir a great deal sadness. Then it is later revealed that Amir feels guilty about something he did to hazzan. This is what I believe to be the problem that will later be revealed. I also think this will be the major conflict of the story. What I also find to be interesting is that since this is a main conflict so far and it's only presented through the inner narration of Amir.
Another conflict that I found to be present is more direct. This Conflict has to do with Hazzan and his health issues. For the most part the author didn't come right out and say that Hazzan was unhealthy. The way i found out was through the narrator telling stories of his seemingly funny walk, due to the polio, and his facial paralysis that causes his grimace. The first few chapters tell stories of how walks through the market would result in Hazzan being taunted. Not only did this conflict result in Hazzan being bullied younger. I can only begin to fathom what they cause his life to be like in his older years.
