Question

1. In one of the opening scenes, we see Amir and Hassan returning home from a

game of kite-fighting. The boys part ways and Amir walks up his red brick driveway lined
with trees and rosebushes towards his magnificent house; whereas Hassan walks towards
a little mud hut. What does this immediately tell you about each character?

Answer 1

Amir has a rich background while Hassan has a poor background.

Step-by-step explanation:

The descriptions of Amir's possessions are those of a person who is rich. He has a magnificent house and he has a red brick driveway which also suggests that he also owns cars. This implies that he must be rich or that he must come from a rich family because it is only a rich person that can afford to own these things.

Hassan on the other walks towards a little mud hut which also implies that he must come from a poor and humble background.
