Amir&Hassan

In the following three chapters, the plot is very interesting and complicated, and the relationship between Amir and Hassan is very complex. Amir didn't think Hassan is his friend or brother at all, but he still didn't think he is his servant completely.

Hassan like a protector for Amir because he always protect Amir. In the chapter 5, there is another boy appeared and his name is Assef, whose father is Amir's father's friend. He wanted to bully Amir and Hassan. At that time, Hassan retreated behind because three boys closed in (Page 39). In this section, I think Hassan can contribute everything for Amir because he is Amir's friend, brother and servant. He is loyal like his father and he can protect Amir forever. This kind of plots appeared not only one time in the book. Moreover, Assef want to hurt Amir after he abused Hassan. At that time, Hassan bend down and stand up immediately to protect Amir (page 41). This is another example to illustrate that Hassan is a protecter for Amir.

Then, Let's talking about Amir's emotion. Assef baffled Hassan and said some bad words to Hassan. He though that Hassan is Amir's friend. Then, there is a very intricate description about Amir's mind. He's not my friend, He's my servant (Page 41). Although he liked Hassan, he never played with Hassan when there was another kid played with him. In addition, He can only comforted Hassan but never said any word to protect Hassan when others abused him. Consequently, I think Amir regard Hassan as a servant more than friend and brother.

In conclusion, the relationship between Hassan and Amir is very complicated, but it close to servant.
