Amir and Hassan

I think that Amir and Hassan's relationship is somewhat brother like, they spend most of there time together and they have known each other all there lives. They treat each other like brothers and share a lot of things "that whole winter, Hassan and i took turns wearing the ha" pg 44.

Although they are close, Amir is jealous of Hassan and Ali's father and son relationship. Hassan and Ali are very close compared to Amir and Baba, " .....Ali wrapped his arms around us" pg 35. Ali treats Amir like his son too and thats why they are very close. Even though Amir treats him like a brother, he still tends to do some things that show lack of respect and to show that Hassan is inferior. Amir does not stand up for Hassan during the kite tournament and this was a sign that Amir thinks less of Hassan. Therefore i think that even though Hassan and Amir are very close and are practically brothers, Amir still knows that Hassan is more disadvantaged than him and doesn't have all the opportunities that he has so in some cases he treats him like a servant.
