The title refers to the main characters Amir and Hassan and the event that will in effect change both of their lives. The kite flying in the sky refers to the kite flying competition that Amir wins with the aid of Hassan. Besides the references to these characters, the title invokes the freedom that a kite has which is made possible through control from the spool attached to the kite. The fact that the kite flying takes two people to be successful, points out that freedom is possible in the case in which people can get along together and come to an agreement. When you put that into perspective, war itself can be avoided by resolving issues typically between two sides, alike how we see that in the story through the eyes of the two main characters. If the problems are left unresolved then inhumane acts are without a doubt inevitable. Therefore naming the novel “The Kite Runner”, harmonizes all of these aspects.
