Rough Draft – editing is done online
Various groups are discriminated against in Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, and endure many hardships to which North American culture would deem inhuman. First, the Taliban’s treatment towards their culture is merciless, and more times than not they revoke their basic human rights.
