What are thirty events that happened in The Kite Runner?

I'll be happy to get you started with a dozen or so
important events from The Kite
Runner.

1.  The novel opens in California in
2001 with the narrator, Amir, reminiscing about his prior

2.  Flashing back to Afghanistan in the 1970s, we are
introduced to Amir's servant friend, Hassan, who has a
harelip.

3.  We find that Hassan and his father, Ali (who
is crippled), are Hazzara, a scorned minority in
Afghanistan.

father, Baba, is not impressed. Baba hopes for more manly and physical pursuits for his
son.

5.  Amir, with Hassan as his runner, wins the
kite-flying contest in Kabul.

6.  Shortly after the end of
the contest, Hassan is cornered and raped by a group of boys. Amir witnesses the crime,
