As we make our way further to the story, we seem to unfold more information about the "friendship" between Amir and Hassan. We find out the Baba and Ali were also very close in their upbringing. Amir's grandfather had adopted when he was dropped off at the as a baby boy. From this point, Ali began his life is a servant of Baba. We find out that Baba and Ali had a very similar relationship. For example, Baba conviced Ali to do very mischievous things and just like Hassan, Ali didn't know how to refuse. Amir also points out that Baba never refers to Ali as a friend and he says that he doesn't think of Hassan as a friend either. Then we compare the daily routines of the two boys. Amir lives the life of a bratty rich kid who complains when he has to be responsible. However, Hassan, wakes up early and get some self be prepared to clean up after Amir and prepare his breakfast and clothes for the day before Amir even decides to get himself up and ready. This all lead me to believe that Amir thinks of Hassan as just his servant and not equal. Was bringing me closer to my guess on what he did to make him feel so guilty about the end to their relationship. I feel as though Amir is a selfish and very immature kid who needs to be enlightened on how he treats his peers. It seems to have been instilled into his personality every since a boy.
