Amir and Hassan's Relationship

Kiho Park

I think that Amir and Hassan had good relationship, but it was made by depending on situation, who they met. Basically, both Amir and Hassan had no closed friend anymore, only they played together. For example, when Assef shamed Hassan, Amir could not defense on him as well because he did not want to show hi was belong to lower part of ethic people in his neighborhoods. Amir wanted to push him away in his public pleases, and he wanted to say every children, “Hassan is not my friend anymore, he is my servant.” That was true. Therefore, I assume what Amir had felt about Hassan was because of lack of friend around him; Amir should play with Hassan, if he had a lot of friend he should have not played with Hassan. And also, Hassan seemed to be afraid of losing his best friend. He tended to act a inactivating to Amir when their country had big issues. Those were my feeling about Amir and Hassan’s relationship was not good friend and their relationship usually depending on what situations they had.
