This story tells the friendship and betrayal of a wealthy Afghan boy, Amir and his servant, Hassan. They were born in Afghanistan and grew up together. They read books on the pomegranate tree and played with a kite…they were always together. However, Amir envied Hassan actually because his father Baba took care of Hassan better than Amir. One day, a certain incident ruined their life suddenly. By this incident, Hassan and his father Ali left Amir’s house. It seemed that they never saw each other. But one call from Baba’s friend, Rahim Khan brought Amir back to his old memory in his childfood. He decided to go back to Afghanistan to make up for his “guilt.”
This novel has many kinds of elements such as friendship, betrayal, love, bond, faith and so on. The complicated relationship of Amir and Hassan caused many things. So I couldn’t guess what would happen for the next scene. I felt like I was drawn into their world. I think it’s because the author express the character’s feeling by subtle descriptions like their actions or countenance. We cannot say that the ending was happy. But I was glad that Amir made up for his guilty finally.
