Amir and hassan are two kids who preface the novel by flying kite. Hassan is hazara which is an ethnic tribe in Afghanistan. By and large the hazards were considered low and had downlooked status in the diverse afghan hierarchy. Hassan stays with his dad ali (later reveals that he ain't hasssans bilogical dad.) And works for Mr. Baba. amirs dad.
Amir is way introvert and often depicts coward nature. For instance when hassan is bullied by assef and his gang ,Amir simply watch and averts his support. But in contrast ,hassan recues amir all the while in any dire circumstances. Sad part is Amir himself struggles to gets his father's full attention which appered to be way equally divided with hassan too.
