Chapter 3 of the Kite Runner

What is the Afghan concept of “laaf”? What “laaf” story do we learn about Baba and the bear?

Why does Baba’s friend, Rahim, call him Toopham Agha, or Mr Hurricane?

Why does Baba not recognise Amir’s gifts as a writer? What in Baba’s view is involved in being a real man?

Why does Amir wish that all the orphans would die in the orphanage?

Baba appears to be liberal in private.How and why? Why does he put on a facade of being a proper Muslim in public? How and why does he attack religious people in private?

“A boy who won’t stand up for himself becomes a man who won’t stand up for anything.” Why is this an important quote from Baba?

How does the writer generate sympathy for Amir? Why are there occasions when we do not like Amir?
