Don't forget to include a page number of the textual evidence you are referencing. en-us 2022-01-18 00:45:45 UTC 2022-01-18 15:32:08 UTC hello@padlet.com “The curious thing was, I never thought of Hassan and me as friends either"(25). https://padlet.com/jriffel7/mlcybq9xh82ynleh/wish/1998139686 --> I am surprised because they act like friends. They ride bikes, build things together, play hide and seek, and fly kites, yet they can't be friends because they are of different religions and ethnic groups. -Allison

Because of that, Amir feels like a failure to his father and blames himself for his mother's death, which was clearly not his fault. Pg. 17, 18, 19

Ex. “But something about Amir troubles me in a way that I can’t express. It’s like … If I hadn’t seen the doctor pull him out of my wife with my own eyes, I’d never believe he’s my son” (23).

(16) https://padlet.com/jriffel7/mlcybq9xh82ynleh/wish/1998150157 I am surprised by the doubts that a school education, and that it is not seen as an actual education. In America, school education is considered one of the most important things in a young person's life, and for that to be contradicted in the story is surprising. - Michael]]> 2022-01-18 15:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jriffel7/mlcybq9xh82ynleh/wish/1998150157 "If I hadn't seen the doctor pull him out of my wife with my own eyes, I'd never believe he is my son." (page 23) jackcolabraro https://padlet.com/jriffel7/mlcybq9xh82ynleh/wish/1998150887  I am surprised that Baba doesn’t believe that Amir could be his son. I know that they are complete opposites in many aspects but it really caught me off guard that he would say something like that.

I was also surprised that Amir didn’t listen to him and fly back to Afghanistan. I wonder what happens later in the book to sever their relationship.
