The kite runner by khaled hosseini

  i. A recurring theme in immigrant/refugee literature is self-identity, which can often be demonstrated through the author's descriptions of the setting in relationship to the characters. Introduce the ways this theme is portrayed in The Arrival. Next, demonstrate how the internal settings (or emotions) of Nadia and Saeed in Exit West and Amir in The Kite Runner often mirror the local settings depicted in the book, both in their home countries and abroad. If self-identity is a theme in both of these novels, in the end, does geography shape one's identity as an immigrant or refugee?
