    very useful! one little note when you mention that Hassan and Ali are sent away, if you re-read that chapter you'll find that Ali learns about the rape and then wants to leave on his own accordance stating that he doesn't want to stay anymore.

      to add onto that, baba actually excused hassan for ‘stealing’ the watch and begged them to stay - even though earlier in the novel he told amir that thieving is the worst kind of sin - because he doesn’t believe that hassan actually did it :)

    4:58 they aren't sent away. they leave on their own accord. and also at that point it's implied that Ali knows what happened to Hassan and how Amir didn't help him

    Husseini is a pashtun writing the voice of a Hazara whom the pashtuns see as enemies and inferior. It is like if a white man writes the voice of Hassan as a black person. All the powerful characters are pashtuns and all the submissive, naive are hazaras. I dont know how people would feel if a white man wrote a novel today about black people and painting them as submissive, flat, lame, hare-lipped, no sense of changing their situation? This is the most horrifyingly one sided novel I have ever read. since it is written for the western audience who know nothing about the Hazara-Pashtun history, they assume to see Pashtun as rounded characters (heroic, bad, savior, kind, rebels etc..) while Hazaras as nothing but submissive, accepting and naive... The reality is far from that. In fact, Hazaras are porportionally more educated in the country. Husseini as a Pashtun is obviously biased and harbours tacit and subconscious racism.

    Afghanistan is in Central Asia, not the Middle East. Also, the suggestion that Amir is a symbol of Afghanistan is too simplistic and reductive. Your recap of the historical context is full of errors. The king was not backed by the USSR. Otherwise, not bad.

    The author of the book attempts to explain ethnicity problems in Afghanistan. Baba iconizes Pashtun and Hasan iconizes Hazara, the two ethnic groups in Afghanistan. But that main point is missing in this summary! Mohammad Daud was a fascist oriented Afghan. When Asef quotes him, the author tries to explain that Afghans treat Hazaras the way German Fascists treated Jews.
