The author of The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini, I think can be portrayed as the protagonist Amir for several reasons one of which is that he himself was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1965. I think that, because of the fact that he was born in Afghanistan, it has contributed to the novel in the aspect of which that the place is not entirely random. Like, if I wrote a book I wouldn't write a story based in perhaps the United States as it is that I know nothing about the area. I think that, due to the fact that the place is based on the country he was born in it is much easier for him to describe the area and now just how things work around there which in turn helps him when describing the area detail by detail. I suppose, that you could assume that the protagonist, Amir, is Hosseini himself as it is that fiction is never one hundred percent made up but has some truth to it. Not just has the birth place of Hosseini contributed to the book but also his personal connections. It is said that Hosseini had a cook working for him and he noticed how poorly the cook was treated, over time, Hosseini grew attached to the cook and taught him to read and they spent time together just like Amir and Hassan do in the book.
The timing as well, the book is set in the 1970's which is around the time of which Khaled himself grew up which only furthers one's suspicions of Khaled being the protagonist, but in disguise of course. Back then there was a lot of social injustice between these two groups of Afghani's, Pashtuns and Hazaras, and this is brought up in The Kite Runner. The Pashtuns are the wealthy clan which look down upon the Hazaras. I think this injustice of ''clans'' was important to the book for otherwise it would not contribute to the injustice brought upon Hassan at several occasions. And at most of these occasions Amir would do nothing to defend Hassan, not because Amir did not love Hassan but
