What do Hassan and Ali give Amir for his birthday?
Hassan and Ali give Amir a leather-bound notebook for his birthday.
How was amir responsible for the flight of ali and hassan?
Amir put his watch and some money in Hassan's mattress. Hassan found these items and told Ali about how he got raped while Amir hid and watched, so they left Kabul.
How did hassan come into amir life?
Hassan is Amir's half brother. Hassan's father, Ali, was like a brother to Baba so he lived with Baba. However, Baba impreganated Ali's wife and had Hassan who became good friends with Amir.
Why did ali and his son leave in The Kite Runner?
Ali and his son Hassan left Baba's household in "The Kite Runner" because they were forced to leave due to the dishonor of Hassan's biological father, which created tension and conflict in the household. Amir frames Hassan for theft to get rid of him, leading to Ali and Hassan's departure as a result of the betrayal and injustice they faced.
How is hassan related to amir?
Actually, they are half brothers. Amir had found out that when Rahim Khan had hinted that Ali was not Hassan's father but Baba was (which explains why Baba had a closer relationship to Hassan and Amir).
What does Ali tell Amir about what Hassan does all the time now?
Ali tells Amir that Hassan mostly runs errands and does chores for him now, as he is getting older and can no longer do physical work like he used to.
What does baba then do that shocks amir?
Baba shocks Amir by letting Hassan and Ali stay at the house, as Amir had put the wristwatch and Afghani bills under Hassan's mattress so that when Baba did find out about Hassan's stealing (a trait that Baba once told Amir he would never forgive in a person), Baba would want to push them out. Instead of Baba kicking them out, he forgave Hassan for "stealing" (he only admits stealing from Amir to protect him), and begs them to stay. Hassan and Ali leave the next morning and Baba weeps when they leave.
What contrast is made between amir and hassan?
Amir is selfish and Hassan is humble and loyal to Amir. Hassan is a Hazara, Amir is a pashtun. Amir is granted to right to get an education, Hassan is not.
Two examples of what amir remembers about his father's loyalty to hassan which now makes sense?
Amir remembers how his father, Baba, risked his reputation and safety to save Hassan from harm at the kite-fighting tournament, displaying his loyalty to Hassan despite the societal divide. Amir recalls how Baba treated Hassan with affection and fairness, providing for him, defending him, and standing up for him, which shows his unwavering loyalty towards Hassan even though Amir didn't fully understand it at the time.
When Rahim Khan tells Amir that Hassan wasn't really Ali's son whose son is he?
Hassan is revealed to be Baba's son, making him Amir's half-brother. Baba had an affair with Hassan's mother, resulting in Hassan's birth. This revelation adds a new layer to the complex relationships in "The Kite Runner."
Why doesn't hassan tell the truth about amir after amir puts the money under hassan's mattress?
Hassan doesn't tell the truth about Amir to protect their relationship and honor. He values their friendship and doesn't want to break the trust between them, even if it means taking the blame for something he didn't do. Hassan's loyalty and selflessness are stronger than his desire to seek justice for himself.
As he did it what did amir ask hassan to do?
Amir asked Hassan to leave the neighborhood and move away from the household, as it would be easier for Hassan to live a peaceful life without the burden of their complicated relationship and the secrets that were kept from him.
