Chapter+6


 * Sinead**

Amir feels that him and Hassan are basically like brothers. Though at times he wishes his father would treat them differently as mentioned he wished Baba would let him be the favorite(pg51).Nevertheless, Amir treats Hassan as a brother throughout this chapter. He talks about him positively and explains how him and Hassan spent everyday together during the winter time. Amir loves Hassans company, and wouldn't wanna spend flying Kites with another kid. During winter when kite flying was getting started Baba tells Amir " I think maybe you'll win the tournament this year. What do you think?"(pg 56) Amir begins to think about all the possibilities if he actually did win that year. He says " Then maybe my life as a ghost in this house would finally be over."(pg56) because his father never really acknowledged his presence. Baba would always brush him off to the side and never give him the attention he needed. Amir felt winning the tournament would gain his fathers time and his father would be proud of his son and want to show him off.
