"His blue eyes flicked to Hassan. "Afghanistan is the land of Pashtuns. It always has been, always will be. We are the true Afghans, the pure Afghans, not this Flat-Nose here. His people pollute our homeland, our watan. They dirty our blood." He made a sweeping, grandiose gesture with his hands. "Afghanistan for Pashtuns, I say. That's my vision(40 Hosseini)." The whole novel Amir has talked about his friend Hassan and how he made Hassan do things that were mischievous. He talked about their difference Hassan being Shi'a and Amir Sunni briefly. Also how Hassan was Amir's servant whom he treated as a brother. It wasn't until after the night of gunfire and explosions when they talked to the neighborhood bully Assef that they began to find out what was happening. The monarchy of Afghanistan was demolished and a Republic influenced by Russia was established.
Questions
What does a Republic mean for the relationship between Hassan and Amir?
Will the explosions and Gunfire in the streets continue?
