Since its first publication in June 2003,it has drawn considerable attention and enjoyed praises from readers all over the world. The Kite Runner tells a story of the experiences of an Afghan boy, Amir, who despicably betrays his brother of skinned and finally redeems himself in the rest of his life.The whole article aims to prove that it is the thorough transformation of social status, influence of religion and surroundings that push Amir to be a good man, realizing his self-redemption.Overall, the whole article consists of three chapters. Firstly, chapter one gives a brief explanation of its negative reasons for Amir's redemption, demonstrating the inside and outside factors of his compensation, such as Amir's betrayal which in turn promotes his self-salvation. Besides, the social status of the Amirs crashing down to the bottom no doubt provides him a great lesson; Secondly, chapter two shows the reason in a positive way. In terms of family, the huge change in his father obviously gives Amir more confidence in his road to be a good man. On the other hand, Hassan and Rahim Khan, the guiders of Amir definitely play an important role in Amir's redemption. Finally, Amir's self-redemption journey is drawn in chapter three. After questing the major factors that mentioned above, Amir's self-redemption gradually comes to its destiny. By digging out the root causes of Amir's redemption, thousands of"Amir"in the world are finding his way of being a good man.展开更多

Researchers have studied the"kite"itself, the friendship between main characters and the cultural image reflected in this work. So the individualities and commonalities among these three characters are analyzed. Firstly, it partly describes Amir's cowardice and responsibility and Hassan's kindness, tolerance and loyalty. Then it narrates the features of both father and Amir which changed from cowardice to responsibility and the kindness and loyalty sides of father and Hassan. Finally, it can be seen that father and Hassan tried to be a kind, tolerant and loyal person for their whole lives. This thesis studies the characters of father from the characters of Amir and Hassan, not only gives a deep analysis of father but also describes a detailed individualities of Amir and Hassan which gives novel a new comprehensive understanding which can be used to study other similar literary works.展开更多

Up till now, many scholars have studied the novel in such aspects as religious disputes, racial discrimination, the images of kite, portrait of Hassan, betrayal and redemption and narrative strategies, etc. However, this paper chooses to analyze such features as the plot pattern, contents and set of characters reflected in the novel to explore how the novel describes the characterization of Amir from the perspective of personal growth.展开更多

The miR exists in two size variants of 21-nt and 24-nt so the natural precursor cannot be employed for the purpose of miR over-expression as the cellular machinery can process both size variants thereby masking the role of PTGS regulation. Hence, we adopted the artificial miR technology to specifically over-express the 21-nt species in the transgenics. During the course of experiments it was observed that the amiR constructs probably interfered with the regeneration of the transformed callus, necessitating protocol modifications. The results indicate the successful over-expression of the 21-nt miR species. These plants can serve as a useful source for the functional dissection of the role played by the 21-nt Osa-miR820 species. They will also be valuable in highlighting the importance for the existence of a dual mode of miR mediated target regulation.展开更多
