The Kite Runner Excerpt 3 (Chapters 15-end) As I read pages 270-272, I realized just how horrible the era of the Taliban was in Afghanistan. Being an American and having my rights protected, I was shocked when I learned what extremities the Taliban surpassed when it came to “governing”. I have never experienced stoning or witnessed it, so seeing a different culture being so accustomed to it was startling. I’m aware of the troubles Afghanistan has had, but reading personal experience and actually knowing the gruesome details definitely opened my eyes. Therefore, these pages were windows since I was able to view a different kind of life and understand Afghanistan's history better.
