1. The flashback is used to give a history behind the narrative and besides background information about the writer. Based on the storyteller. I learned that he does non hold a female parent and his male parent is really popular in his town. In the first chapter. the description of the winter twenty-four hours in 1975 sounds as if the storyteller is concealing something every bit good. They might be burying their yesteryear. but it besides states that it ever claws its manner out. boding an event that might happen. He besides moved to San Francisco to acquire off or avoid believing about the yesteryear.
2. Hassan is a harelipped ( dissected lip ) kite smuggler. his best friend or play mate is Amir who is rich. the antonym of Hassan. Hassan has a circular face like a Chinese doll. level wide olfactory organ. slanting green narrow eyes. bantam ears. and pointed stub mentum. A cleft lip is a birth defect that normally appears as a losing portion of the upper lip that can widen towards the olfactory organ. Harelip is another term for cleft lip. but is considered an violative manner to state it. He was besides hapless and he was non near to a batch of people. Hassan’s relationship based on his friendly relationship with Amir. is that he was loyal to him and ne’er told on his friends. he was easy persuaded to make things even when he knew he would upset his male parent.
Hassan’s foremost word was Amir and I believe this was of import because he was particular to him. Just like a babe larning their first words such as “mama” or “dada” . Amir was Hassan’s first word. which as a consequence shows a important significance between how close they are towards each other. Hassan and Amir were both nursed by the same adult female. and it is known that people who were fed from the same chests have a affinity and even portion a brotherhood.
The contrast between Hassan and Amir would be that. Hassan is hapless. Hazara Shi’a Muslim. lives in a mud hovel. he runs for the kite. low. athletic. loyal. intelligent. and ever read Amir’s head. Amir was affluent. educated. higher category. Pashtun. controls the kite. clumsy. selfish. covetous. and his male parent was known in the town unlike Ali. Hassan’s male parent.
3. A Hazara is known to be a group of people in a minority group that are slightly treated like slaves and were consider as the lower caste. In the novel. Ali. Sanaubar. and Hassan were Hazaras. 4. A Pashtun or besides known as the Sunnis are bulk groups that are considered as people from the higher caste system. Which besides meant that they were given more respect by the community while Hazaras were non known?
Amir. Rahim Khan. and Amir’s Baba are Pashtuns. 5. Amir’s Baba built the house they live in. and it is besides the biggest house in the town. Amir elaborates on how his house looks to explicate how much his wealth they had and besides to reflect on the memories he has while turning up at that place. His graphic description made it sound like he felt safe. happy. and comfy in that place in Kabul. 6. Sanubar is Hassan’s female parent who ran off with a kin of going vocalists and terpsichoreans after his birth.
This contrast to Amir’s female parent because his female parent went through hemorrhaged during childbearing with him and died. She was immature and beautiful. had a dishonourable repute. as a consequence doing her leave Ali and Hassan. 7. Ali was Hassan’s male parent and the kids called him “Babalu” or “Boogeyman” because he has polio so he had troubles while walking and he besides had palsy on the lower portion of his face which made it difficult for him to do any facial looks such as smiling or glowering. 8. Amir feels that his relationship with his male parent is really distant. Though Amir wants to be near with his male parent. he does experience the love and worth he desires from his Baba. 9.
The King’s cousin is Daoud Khan. who had ended the King’s forty-year reign with a bloodless putsch. because the King. his cousin. was off in Italy. 10. Baba is Amir’s father. He built the most beautiful house in Kabul. and besides strived to construct and have an orphanhood with his ain financess and workers. He relates to highly spiritual leaders because he is affluent. popular. adventuresome. and trusty. 11. Baba’s gift to Hassan was more than merely a material object. For his birthday. he gave Hassan a adult male standing following to Ali named Dr. Kumar. who was a sawbones that was traveling to repair his cleft lip ( fictile surgery ) .
Amir was angry and covetous one time once more because he did non have a particular gesture that he was supplying to Hassan. which made him angrier because he was Baba’s boy. non Hassan. This present was dry because when Hassan got his surgery. it allowed him to smile. but he that’s when he stopped smiling. 12. Assef is the boy of one of Baba’s friends. His male parent was an air hose pilot. and his female parent was German and his male parent was Afghan. Assef was popular for his chromium steel steel brass brass knuckss and he was the biggest bully in their town. 13. Wali and Kamal are friends or buddies of Assef who follow him and his orders.
They both take portion in strong-arming others who Assef disfavors and hatreds. They would look up to Assef as their God and they would make as he would state. even laugh when Assef did. 14. Assef starts badgering Hassan and naming him names. so Amir attempts to stand up for him so Assef begins picking on Amir alternatively. Hassan decides to take a stone and catapult and stands up for Amir by endangering Assef if he wanted to lose his oculus or merely walk off. Assef’s tries to endorse himself up by saying that he is a really patient individual that this isn’t the terminal. and Hassan made a large error. That he would acquire him. and He’ll be back.
This foreshadows that there is something bad that will happen. with the words that Assef drops as he leaves Hassan and Amir. 15. Amir finds this dry because when Hassan gets the surgery. he tries to halt from smiling. 16. Emir wants to state Assef that Hassan is non his friend and that he is merely his slave at place and merely that. nil else.
