Response Post To Sam's Post .

This is a response post to Sam’s blog post. In his blog post he talked about how Amir and Hassan   Here is something that Sam said:

" Amir... was Jealous of Hassan.  Throughout the whole story Baba makes an effort to make sure that whenever he and Amir can have a moment alone Hassan is there or has been invited.  This leads Amir to believe that Baba loves the child of their servant as much, or possibly even more then his own child.  ...Hassan had the courage to stand up to Assef and cause him to stop bullying Amir.  Amir’s lack ... of courage is shown when he witnesses Hassan getting raped. .. he is a coward. After, that is when Amir can’t talk to Hassan because he is angry at him for being stronger. This situation gets even worse when Hassan is able to heal from the incident even faster then Amir.  They were no longer able to be friends because they were simply different. "

I agree with Sam. I agree that Amir often envies Hassan, how Hassan deserves the same amount of care from Amir’s Baba. While, Amir is Baba’s son and Hassan is just a servant. Amir doe not think that Hassan should deserve the same amount of love from his Baba. Amir gets jealous easily, and all he wants is  to keep his Baba all by himself only. Amir gets jealous because of Hassan all the time, times when Hassan runs faster than him. Times when his Baba asked Hassan to come along with them to some places. Times when Baba gave an effort on thinking what presents to give for Hassan for his birthday.

In addition, in Sam’s blog post he talked about how Amir is someone that is a coward when standing up to someone. While Hassan is someone that is loyal to his friend. In the book, The Kite Runner, tells the reader that Amir rather ran away when Hassan was getting rape by Assef instead of stepping up to help or save Hassan. Amir is afraid to help Hassan, because he is afraid that he might get hurt by Assef and his friends. At the same time, Hassan is loyal to Amir. When Hassan and Amir were at the hills,  and Assef were about to hurt to Amir. But Hassan stood up for Amir, and pointed a slingshot at Assef. This shows Hassan is a good friend, and a loyal one.
