    After reading about his childhood and the life-changing events that took place during it‚ my initial perception of Amir was that he was selfish‚ even though he did not mean to be. He did not want to be so cruel‚ but he was a young boy‚ he was a bit confused‚ and at times jealous too. He only thought about his own suffering. His greed to overcome the pain he felt for not helping Hassan when Assef was beating him up‚ and the way he threw those pomegranates at Hassan‚ and saw the way Hassan just stood

He uses the cliche about the “an elephant in the room” because doesn’t want to talk about what happened to Hassan. Hassan was living in a small village. Ali father is dead. Hassan is married

    When Amir says "it"‚ he is referring to the act of watching Hassan get raped. "It" is a curse for Amir‚ because even though Amir was somewhat powerless when he witnessed Hassan’s rape‚ he didn’t try to stop this horrific event from happening. Amir‚ though he was not the perpetrator of the crime‚ feels that because he did not even try to prevent the grievous harm that would come of Hassan‚ because he did not take any chances which could have kept this event from happening‚ he is partly responsible
