Kite flying seems strangely similar to Baseball (the American pastime). Interestingly enough, the British reporter said that kite flying was outlawed by the Taliban regime. I don't understand why anyone would ever outlaw kite flying, it seems so passive to me.
The author may have chosen this aspect of Afghani culture because it seems so simple and peaceful and yet we can already see how kite flying as irreparably damaged Amir and Hassan's life.
4th of July is a celebration that everybody enjoys and most everybody gets involved in. Writers want to affect the largest possible audience, so they choose to write about things that most people are familiar with.
