The characters, especially the main character have a massive impact on the book itself and what the overall theme is. Decisions they face, how they overcome them, and what how they react to certain choices made by the other really drives the course of this book. It is like the domino effect where one thing that happens is immediately followed by other events. That is one way the theme gets to be created and notable by the end of the book and how the puzzle pieces fit as you continue to read this book.
For example the theme of friendship is derived based on the interaction of Hassan and Amir. They show the typical friendship with ups and downs but also showcase a scenario that is more rare when talking about real life. A broken friendship that never was able to mend, leading to grief and major regret. The way they talk is implementing their relationship. Sometimes is nice and happy, while at others it is annoyed or angry. After the break up Amir's life changes and he ends up never meeting Hassan again, which leads to one of the themes: Friendship is the key to a happy life.
You also see the way Amir interacts with his father implements a huge impact on the theme of family. When he was younger he was very distanced with his father. Even if they lived under the same roof, very little conversation was made between them. Therefore you can consider it as a very rocky relationship[. however after the kite festival, things started to thaw up again and Amir was finally able to treat his dad like a real father whom he could have shared his feelings with. That concludes the theme of family and how important family is in one's life.
