Wednesday ch 1+2

Well today is Wednesday and I read in class for a bit. I learned that the book is about a boy named Amir. His best friend, who is also his servant, is named Hassan. Amir's fathers name is Baba and Hassans fathers name is Ali. Both of their mother are not around; Amirs died during childbirth and Hassans left a week after he was born. There was also some political information in the first two chapters, although i didn't understand most of it. I think it was basically talking about why Ali is made fun of a lot, its because he is of a certain heritage. I also found out that the main conflict is going to happen during the winter of 1975. See the book is written like it is all a memory from the past. The book starts when he receives a phone call from Hassan who is asking him to come visit (Amir is living in the US at this time.) Then Amir has his flashback, which is what I explained above, it was all basic background information. Well that pretty much sums up what I've read so far so till i read more!
