Amir is with his his half nephew Sohrab in the park during the kite tournament. Sohrab has a green kite to fly in the tournament, and Amir is going to be the kite runner for him. Amir is as happy as can be even though the ironic part is that besides the green kite, and him running it's just like when Hassan, and Amir were in the kite tournament together, and Hassan ran the kite. This quote shows what Amir is thinking while he's running the kite for Sohrab. " I ran. A grown man running with a swarm of screaming children. But I didn't care. I ran with the wind blowing in my face, and a smile as wide as the Valley of Panjsher on my lips. I ran." (371) Amir is extremely happy just to be running the kite for his nephew, and his happiness can't be described in no less than a million words. This quote is significant because of the fact that when he's a kid Hassan is the kite runner, and is running his blue kite for him, and now he's a grown man and is the kite runner for his nephew's green kite. This quote just takes the book back into a full circle, but with a happier ending.
