Assignment 3: Amir & Hassan

The relationship between Amir and Hassan, I think, is some kind of complicated. Sometimes, they are normal as friends. Sometimes, close as brothers. Sometimes, cold as just servant and master. But to be honest, I'd more like to say they are friends.
They are friends, because they share lots of happy memories which they made together. When Amir wanted to withdraw the game, it is Hassan who gave him courage at that point time.About that dream, which is my favorite part of this chapter I think, the author used lots of dialogue in his description. "'I don't know. Maybe we should go home.' Then he stepped toward me and, in a low voice, said something that scared me a little.'Remember, Amir agha. There's no monster, just a beautiful day.'"(Page 61,Chapter 7)These sentences are simple, normal but really impressive to me. It reminds me an old saying of " A friend in need is the friend indeed."
Meanwhile, I have to accept that Amir sometimes shows his jealousy. One example form these chapters is on Page 51, Chapter 6. It is about the buying kites part and said that " If I changed my mind and asked for a bigger and fancier kite, Baba would buy it for me--but then he'd buy it for Hassan too. Sometimes I wish he wouldn't do that. Wished he'd let me be the favorite." This is obviously his jealousy. But I absolutely don't agree with the idea that this shows Amir takes Hassan as a servant. It is undeniable that sometimes we all do the same as Amir did in the book that being jealous of someone in our daily life. But we also can not deny that even we would be jealous but they are still our friends in our hearts, ain't they?So this jealousy Amir shows still can not reject my opinion that they are friends.
