Read the following passage carefully.
As children, Amir and Hassan would climb trees and use mirrors to reflect sunlight
into a neighbour's window, or they would shoot walnuts at the neighbour's dog with a
Slingshot
. These were Amir's ideas, but Hassan never blamed Amir if they were caught.
Amir lived with his father, Baba, in a lavish home in Kabul. Meanwhile, Hassan and his
father, Ali, lived in a small mud hut on the grounds of Baba's estate, and Ali worked as
Baba's servant. Neither Amir nor Hassan had a mother. Amir's mother died giving birth
to him, and Hassan's mother ran away after having him. One day while the boys were
walking, a soldier says to Hassan that he once had loved Hassan's mother, Sanaubar.
Sanaubar and Ali was an unlikely match. Ali was a devout reader of the Koran, the bottom
half of his face was paralysed, and polio destroyed the muscle in his right leg, giving him
limp. Sanaubar was nineteen years younger than Ali, beautiful, and reputedly
immoral. Most people thought the marriage was arranged by Sanaubar's father as a way
to restore honour to his family. Sanaubar openly detested Ali's physical appearance. Five
days after Hassan was born, she ran away with a group of travelling performers.
The soldier refers to Hassan as a Hazara, which we learn is a persecuted ethnic group in
Afghanistan. The Hazaras originally came from further east in Asia, and their features are
more Asian than Arabic. Hassan's parents were Hazara as well. Amir and Baba, on the
other hand, are Pashtun. Once, while looking through history books, Amir discovered
information on the Hazaras. They had an uprising during the nineteenth century, but
it was brutally suppressed by the Pashtuns. The book mentions some of the derogatory
names like mice-eating and flat-nosed, and says that the reason for the animosity is because
the Hazaras are Shia Muslims while the Pashtuns are Sunni Muslims.
