Chapters 1-5 Questions
1. I think the novel begins with a flashback so it eases into the book. It gives a little background of the narrators life and we learn a little about his family's past.
2. Hassan is Amir's servant, and is very strong. Hassan has a cleft lip, which is a genetic disorder where tissues fail to meet at the top of the lip under his nose, where the tissue should be, there is a gap which causes the cleft. Hassan always knows what's going on with Amir and is stubborn in the way he holds grudges over people.
3. To be Hazara means to be low in society and poor. The Hazara were oppressed by the pashtuns and tried to revolt, which got very violent. Thus far, Hassan, his parents, and Ali are Hazara.

5. Amir describes his home as the most beautiful place of all of Kabul. He elaborates when describing it so the readers understand how his father's accomplishments get him nice things like his home. The details in the pictures of Amir's family reveal that his family is so important to history and how elegant they are.
6. Sanaubar was Ali's wife, Hassan's mother, who left shortly after he was born. Sanaubar tested men and was very unscrupulous.
