So far in my book The Kite Runner I am on page 80 and Amir's hazara, Hassan, has gone missing. It was after the Kite fighting tournemant when Amir won and Hassan ran after the blue kite. Amir was very happy he had won and was happy because his father would finally be proud of him. He is also worried about Hassan because he has not returned with the final defeated kite.
Amir eventually goes looking for Hassan and with help from some strangers at the Bazaar he finds Hassan trapped in an alley. Their enemies Assef and his friends have trapped Hassan and want the kite. Hassan did not give it up and Assef does horrible things to Hassan.
While all this is happening Amir is watching and doesn't help. This shows that Amir is not a very good friend and is too scared to help a person that he has known his entire life. I think this also shows Hassan's character a lot also, it shows how loyal of a friend he is to Amir and shows that he will do anything for him. I do not know much of what happens after this but my guess is that they wont be as good of friends and I think Hassan knows that Amir was watching what happened in the alley. I made this prediction because there was some foreshadowing directly after they won the tournement which was, "I would never see his smiling face again for another 26 years."
