Assignment 3 Amir and Hassan

Do Amir and Hassan are friends or brother or master/servent? I think this isn’t a question should be answered yes or no.
Their relationship could be divided into 3 parts.
First of all, they grow up together, in the past twelve years; they live together and share the same memory of anything. For example, they prepare the kite tournament together; they play cards and chess together. And from the deepest part of Amir’s heart, he is a little bit jealous of Hassan and he is not happy or scared what he can’t enjoy his father’s love alone. This is common happened in the relationship of brothers.
But, they all know the statue of themselves pretty clear, therefore, sometimes, they can’t be too intimate, Amir always hear someone else by his side told him they are not friends such like the jerk Assef and the merchant he found in his way to look for Hassan even though he doesn’t believe it or care about it. But, basically, they are still master/servant in some particular place such as Hassan has to serve Amir to brew black tea for breakfast.
And I think the statue of each other in their heart is no equal, Hassan think there are friends as like he told Assef and this point could be proved by many details in the passage. For example, he encourages Amir to fight for the final champion, and always ask him to hang out, the most important thing is he already think he have to loyalty to this friendship as he prefer to be hit to give the blue kit to Assef. But in Amir’s heart, he didn’t think Hassan is his best friends or anything, when he has a guest , he never invite Hassan to play with them, when he heard someone humiliated Hassan, he never talk them back for Hassan. Because he is too selfish and jealous and such a coward.
