The Kite Runner pt2

Hassan avoids Amir and spends most of his time in bed. not wanting to be around anyone .Amir wonders if Hassan had seen him that day Baba soon shows alot of interest in Amir, even taking him to the movies . Amir hopes it would be just the two of them but Baba invites three van loads of friends to go along. Amir cannot enjoy any of this because he feels guilty. Amir becomes an insomniac as a result of his guilt. suddenly Hassan attempts to be friendly with Amir again as if he has forgivin him, but Amir pushes him away a likely punishment to himself. Later Amir angers Baba by asking if he ever thought about getting new servants. Their relationship soon deteriorates.
Amir tries to start a pomegranate fight with Hassan, but Hassan will not fight back. He takes a pomegranate and smashes it into his own head instead of hitting Amir. This shows Hassan's loyalty to Amir. Which kills Amir inside. since he could not show the sameBaba throws a huge thirteenth birthday party for Amir. Assef presents Amir with a gift- a biography of Hitler. I forshadow that this is a dangerous sign to come.
