Ch 6+7 Whew

Ok so the book is getting very graphic and I like it but it is also very disturbing so be careful reading this. So in the next chapter Amir talks about why winter is so loved in Afghan as they have a annual kite running competition. This time Amir takes it upon himself to win the competition in order to gain acknowledgement from Baba. As the time progresses Amir wins the kite running contest all he has to do is get his kite and bring it back but Hassan ends up getting the kite, the two has to seperate in order to keep their reputations as hazara and pashtuns. Time passes and Amir is looking for Hassan to get the kite back only to come up to see Hassan getting raped by Assef and Amir does nothing to stop it. I felt very conflicted in the way Amir did not help his friend(even though they dont call each other friends). These Chapters really made the novel get more interesting as we see how Amir develops after such an event happened for him. Overall the chapters were really good but also very disturbing.
