I was able to notice their friendship in this piece of text. I didn't like how he made a pretend definition for the word to make fun of Hassan. He didn't realize that Hassan didn't have the same privilege for an education.

"They called him "flat-nosed" because of Ali and Hassan's characteristic Hazara Mongoloid features" (Hosseini, 9). I noticed this as it gives us more of idea of what these people look like. I can somewhat create a picture in my head of Babalu (Ali's dad).

I noticed that he feels emptyness in the house ever since his mother's death and he vividly expains how empty the house feels. pg. 6

I noticed that him and Hassan were best friends when they were younger. The paragraph starts off with a very descriptive playdate in which the two boys had. You can tell that this was a very memorable experience for him. Page 3                -Kevin Mahoney

I am noticing that the main character, Amir, is showing signs of being a jealous person. This is seen when he goes to the river with his father and purposefully says that Hassan cannot go. This is because the last time they went, Hassan skipped his rock more times than him, and was commended by Ali. (14).

I notice that Amir thinks that his father does not love him (for killing his mother) when he is reading to Hassan. He says “Didn’t all fathers in their secret hearts harbor a desire to kill their sons?” (page 23).

I am noticing that the narrator maybe has some regret for something that happened to him in his past. This is because when he is on the phone in the first chapter he says that he is not on the phone with Rahim, but instead with his “past of unatoned sins” (1). -Jake

Ch 3 Pg 12: Everyone believes what Baba says which shows he is well respected and maybe has authority in the community.

Ex. “But no one ever doubted the veracity of any story about Baba” (12).

I notice a religious divide beginning to form in Amir’s mind; he didn’t necessarily call Hassan his friend because of their different denominations. Although he mentions this division, he also talks about how his whole life was with Hassan, creating an internal conflict. Pg. 25

“Looking back on it now, I think the foundation for what happened in the winter of 1975-and all that followed-was already laid in those first words”(11).

--> Hassan’s first word was “Amir” and Amir’s first word was “Baba” which makes me think Amir was more loyal to his father than his friend Hassan. As Amir is writing this book, he repeats “the winter of 1975” which makes me also think that he reflects on that winter and feels guilty for whatever happened. - Allison

For him the emptiness through the house is because of the loss of his mother when she “died giving birth to him” (6) This could have affected the past of his father which could be the reason for his neglect.
