· Hassan’s dream
· The kite flying competition
· The rape
The dream of Hassan foreshadows in a way the events that occur in chapter
7. For instance the monster in the lake
can be linked with Assef. In the dream both Hassan and Amir are brave and as a
result become sultans of the lake and are awarded for their bravery. However as
we soon find out only Hassan is brave as Amir does not try to save him from
Assef. However it is ironic how it is Amir that is rewarded when it should be
Hassan’s bravery that should be commended.
The kite competition begins by mentioning the sky being ‘blameless blue’.
This can link to the kite involved during the attack on Hassan as the kite was
also blue and Hassan can be seen as blameless. The kite competition itself goes
successfully as Amir wins defeating the final blue kite. However it is when
Hassan goes to run and get the kite that events take a turn for the worse and
the lives of both boys were turned upside down.
