• A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner have been written by Khaled Hosseini who resides in the U.S.A but frequently goes with groups who try to help the Middle East. The Kite Runner takes on the view of men in Afghanistan and how they easily can lose a friendship and can be lied to for their entire life just to keep a family name clean. A Thousand Splendid Suns takes on the view of women and how much hurt and disrespect they have endure. It really shows how women in the Middle East have no voice and are told what to do and when they can do it.
