nearly shreaking.

Amir was clearly cruel with Hassan who only wanted to be with him.
3) When Amir and Hassan went for the second time to the
pomegranate tree, Hassan asked Amir to read him a story, but just before
turning to the first page, Amir picked up and over-ripe pomegranate that had
fallen to the ground, and asked Hassan what would he do if he throws him the
pomegranate. Hassan didn’t answered, and Amir throwed it to Hassan, but Hassan
only stood up. Amir was furious and frustrated because he wanted Hassan to
throw him back a pomegranate on his face to punish him by the episode of Hassan’s
rape. But Hassan stay calmed, and Amir throwed dozens of pomegranate to Hassan,
and at the end, Hassan took one but he throwed it at his own overhead. Amir,

they sent Homoira and here family to Hazarajat. He told his story because he
wanted to tell Amir that “In the end, the world always win. That’s just the way
of things”.
Chapter 9:
1) Rahim Khan’s Notebook,
2) Amir was very gratefull and happy by Ali and Hassan’s
present, but at the same time, sad because he knew that the book wasn’t the
unworthy for him, but he was the unworthy for a present of them.
3) His watch and a handfull of Afghani’s bills he placed
under Hassan’s mattress.
4) Because when Baba asked Hassan if he actually stole to
Amir, he answered he did stole him, so in that moment Amir realized Hassan knew
he saw him in the alley, and he was doing his last sacrifice for him, although
it may be his last moment in the house.
5) Because Amir and
Hassan used to watch those films.
