Cliff Notes has a chapter-by-chapter summary and analysis of The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossenini. From Chapter 19, ""Better to be miserable than rude" Amir states when lying to Farid about the lemon helping his car sickness. Amir is able to cling to an Afghani view, even though Farid and others who did not leave Afghanistan view Amir not as an Afghani but as an American. This chapter raises interesting issues about a character's view of himself, as opposed to how others see him. Essential questions about the nature of Amir's character are the same questions that apply to many people: What does it mean to be an American? Or an Afghani? Is it just the country/origin of birth? Is it one's socioeconomic status? Is it a combination of cultural and political leanings? Ultimately, these questions are all about a person's sense of identity and sense of self."
