The Kite Runner

I was really surprise when Amir did not help Hassan when the other boys were beating him and raped him. Afterwards, for some time Hassan and Amir keep a distance from each other. Amir reacts indifferently because he feels ashamed, and is frustrated by Hassan's saint-like behavior. Already jealous of Baba's love for Hassan, he worries if Baba knew how bravely Hassan defended Amir's kite, and how cowardly Amir acted, that Baba's love for Hassan would grow even more. I was very surprise when i found out that Amir and Hassan were half brothers. i really like how the story end, Amir taking care of Hassan's son. Amir said the same that Hassan used to say when they were young to Hassan's son.
