    Wow‚ what a story so far. I would not be surprised if this story is partly based off of actual events with the level of detail and emotional depth.

There are a couple of scenes that seem to mimic a movie‚ which is not surprising as Amir the main character is a big fan of films mainly action films. Juxtaposition is seen when Hassan is fulfilling the many chores‚ and Amir is eating

The boys justified this obscene act by referring to Hassan as “just a Hazara‚” displaying the ultimately racist attitude that Sunni Muslims possessed. This gives the impression that Afghanistan is a highly racist place
