By the end of this class, I am at page 239. Hassan is Amir’s half brother. Baba is Hassan’s father…
Hassan has a family, a wife and a son in Kabul. He has learned to write and read, and has learned to his son, which is named Sohrab, after Hassan’s favorite novel. Amir learns this from a letter Hassan wrote him. By the time Amir reads this, Hassan is dead. He and his wife were shot by Taliban. Sohrab is an orphan, and Rahim Kahn wants Amir to get him out of Kabul.
Right now, Amir is at a soccer- field, watching two people being stoned to death. He is at the soccer- field to find Sohrab, who has been kidnapped by the Taliban.
it is a sad chapter of the book, and certainly a very dramatic chapter too. I'm glad you have read so many pages. You should be all set for the autumn break.
