At this point of the book, I think this is the saddest part, but I could be mistaken. I feel so sorry for Hassan. He may be a fictional character but my heart seriously goes out children and people like him. So loyal and honest, I don’t think he deserved to die that way. I was obviously really hard on Amir, when he found out all these secrets kept from him, when he was talking to Rahim Khan. As I was reading I was really drawn to the book and couldn’t stop reading, I think this is my favorite part of the book. I’m really enjoying it, even though it’s insanely sad, but what really gets me is that all these unfortunate people are actually living in these conditions. At first I wasn’t really a fan of Amir, but throughout the book, I guess you can say I kind of “grew with the character” and really learned to like Amir. He is actually my favorite character now, mainly because he sees himself as a coward, but yet he still found the courage to go find Sohrab. I think that Amir is actually a lot like Hassan, because by looking for Sohrab, he’s remaining loyal to him by keeping his son safe. This leads me to believe Amir has a good heart, and I can’t wait to see on what kind of road his courage puts him on in the end.

I completely agree with you, this is the saddest part of the book, and Amir is also growing on me. He’s changed throughout the story and one hundred percent of me thinks it’s because of Hassan and his actions. He’s had this loyal friend and everything you could ask for right by his side from Hassan and for Hassan to constantly go out of his way for Amir and receive no credit at all is outstanding and I think Amir’s guilt and feelings changed his character. I think he was living with his problem in his past, Hassan, until he found a way to get out, which Rahim Kan was giving him, an opportunity to get Sohrab.
I agree with both of you. This part seemed to be the one of the other saddest part of the book; Amir's dad dying in his sleep was the other saddest part, I believe. Neither do i think Hassan deserved to die in the story. He was such a genuine and naive person. Even though it was pretty miserable and heartbreaking, it really did affect the story, especially Amir. He starts to change after Hassan's death, which makes me think that he's not very a wrong and villain person at all. Although I'm really liking this book and truly into it, I wonder what it would've been like if neither of Hassan nor Amir's dad had died in the story. I don't think the story would've been this touching and impressive.
