The first portion of this work is told to the reader using first person narration through Amir as a young manas he struggles to grow into adulthood faced with his own shame concerning his best friend, Hassan, and his quest to forge a strong bond with his father, Baba. Through Amir's voice, the reader is able to understand the harsh realities of growing up and the pain and guilt associated with the betrayal of one you love: "Kabul had become a city of ghosts for me. A city of hare lipped ghosts."
First person narration provides insight into Amir's heart and soul allowing the reader into the Afghan culture through the eyes of the main character.
