Chapter 7 - THE MOST IMPORTANT CHAPTER IN THE ENTIRE NOVEL!!! (Remember that before this, in chapter 6, Amir asks Hassan 'Would you ever lie to me?' and Hassan replies 'I'd rather eat dirt.') This chapter is about the kite fight, leading on to the rape scene.

Chapter 12 - The Pashtun market place in California. Really good for characterisation of Afghan people, relationships and Baba's change in character.
Chapter 13, Baba dies - Obviously some key stuff, but probably not THE most important chapter.
Chapter 16 - The story of Hassan told from the POV of Rahim Khan <--- Very important if asked about narrative techniques/point of view etc.
Chapter 19 - Amir goes back to Afghan, helped by Wahid. Wahid does not like him at first and tells him he was 'alwats a forgeigner'. Awkward moment where Amir gives Wahid's kids his watch, but really they want his food. A great chapter for...

Chapter 23 - Amir moves in and out of consciousness - great for unusual narrative techniques.
Then, just look at the closing of the novel. The image of the Kites, and how FULL of imagery the last few pages are.
Hope this helps,
