"I had one last chance to make a decision. I could step into that alley, stand up for Hassan-the way he'd stood up for me all those times in the past-and accept whatever would happen to me. Or I could run. In the end, I ran(Hosseini 77)." The entire story has made the main character, Amir, seem like a total coward. During this passage; Hassan, Amir's servant, is caught searching for Amir's last cut kite from the kite flying competition by neighborhood bullies. The winning kite is very important and the bullies offer peace if he hands over the kite. Hassan promised Amir he would gather the kite for him and told the bullies no and took a beating and assualt for him. Amir stood by like a coward and didn't help Hassan at all. Even after Hassan won the kite competition to impress his father he still feels terrible for not helping Hassan.
Questions
Will Amir do something in the future to prove he is not a coward?
Will Hassan face the bullies again?
