This was all down to it being a preference of Amir. The actions the two persue are all down to Amir and this is represented by them visiting the cinema and seeing the same film every time ‘Rio Bravo’. Psychological differences are also evident as Hassan is used to fending for himself and for standing up for what is right-within the right circumstances. These are obvious to others including Yussef and his friends as they always refer to Hassan as a ‘flat-nose hazara’. This quote is important once more because even though he never mentioned Ali as his friend, Babe would still act respectfully towards him, and this would continue into adulthood, whereas Amir and Hassan would have a up and down relationship-mainly due to Amir’s mood.Ģ) Some of the differences between Amir and Hassan, (the servant and the master) are physical as it is evident due to their clothing and the way they speak-not helping Hassan due to his previously cleffed lip. Hassan would always stick up for what he called his friend, but the favour would never be returned by Amir-the is clearly evident throughout their years as children until the moment of Hassan’s and Ali’s departure. Experiences between Amir and Hassan represent this-the majority including Yussef. This quote from Amir may be predominantly true but from some perspectives, this may be seen as an excuse. From Amir’s experience’s with Hassan, it was not easy ‘because history isn’t easy to overcome’. This is similar to Hassan and Amir-not in the usual sense, anyhow. This unleashes his ‘nasty streak’ that Baba said wasn’t there.ġ)Ěs Stated by Baba, ‘in none of his stories did he ever refer to Ali as his friend’. He thinks it ironic that an illiterate servant can criticise his writing. How dare he criticise you?’ this is a very interesting quote as, relating back to the previous question, shows Amir’s true thoughts. However adult Amir thinks this ironic as a small voice in his head states ‘what does he know, that illiterate Hazara? He’ll never be anything but a cook. This then exposes Amir to his first ‘pot-hole’. It proves logical to him that there is no need to brutalise the wife in that way. The problem Hassan spots is that why does the man simply not just chop onions to make himself cry, instead of murdering his wife. With Hassan and Rahim Khan’s approval, Amir believes writing is the correct thing to do, and starts developing his career options. Hassan’s praise of Amir’s writing is important as it encourages him to continue writing.
Why is Hassan’s praise of Amir’s writing important? Although Hassan can’t write, he spots a problem with one of Amir’s stories how and why? Why does the adult Amir think this is ironic? Furthermore, it sets the tone for their relationship as we know Amir’s true intentions of manipulation. We also see it as a form of dramatic irony as through the use of the omniscient narrator, we can see Amir’s true feelings that he does not pass on to Hassan. It shows his true colours and feelings towards his fellow ‘Sultan’. This quote is important as it shows us the reader that Amir only views Hassan as a possession and not as a friend. I'll put it in the source link below.Friendship: “The curious thing was, I never thought of Hassan and me as a friend either”. If you are thinking particular chapters, just proceed to GradeSaver. Social status prevents Babba from treating Hassan as a son where as status allows Ali, who is unrelated to Hassan, to treat him like a son. Ali is very compassionate and understands Hassan in a way that Babba never does. Baba is the patriarch of the family while Ali is merely a Hazzara servant.
It is Hassan that gets raped for defying the bully while Amir gets away. It is Amir that gets sent to America while Hassan stays back and is killed. It is Hassan that is the kite runner where as Amir is the controller. Hassan always takes a subservient role in the relationship. His father is ashamed of his relationship with a Hazzara woman which makes him hide the fact that Hassan is his son. Hassan is only a half-brother and servant to Babba.
There are so many nuances and cultural beliefs to consider.
