Stella's assignment 3

In my opinion,Amir and Hassan just like brothers.
Hassan asked Amir many questions about "republic", Amir replied with patience. And Hassan is afraid of leaving away from Amir,he said,"I do not want them to send me and Fahter away."
When Assef guys closed in,Hassan trteated behind Amir as he thought can protect him as a brother, he thought he is secutity when he stay with Amir.But then Hassan held the slingshot pointed directly at Assef's face and told Assef guys to go away as he want to protect Amir.
As to Amir,he treated Hassan like brother too.Although he just played with Hassan only when no one else was around He let Amir talk to him, play with him,let Hassan touch him. It can not occur between servant and master.
