Jun's assignment8

Assef lost his left eye and Amir got a badly beating. It was just like Amir’s said they got what they deserved. Many years ago, Hassan held a slingshot pointing to Assef when Assef going to hurt Amir. At that time, Hassan said: “If you make a move, they’ll have to change your nickname form Assef ‘the Ear Eater’ to ‘one eyed Assef’ because I have this rock pointed at your left eye (p42).” What happened in that house was just similar situation happened many years ago. But this time, it was Soharb made it instead of Hassan. Assef finally got what he deserved. For Amir, the beating he had wanted for from Hassan. He had been feeling guilty for not standing out when Hasson was harmed by Assef. He tried to provoke Hassan to fight with him by pelting Hassan with pomegranates that day on the hill. But Hassan did not. Now, for saving Soharb, he got a badly beating from Assef. It was deadly fighting, but he felt at peace, he felt healed (p289).
