The wrong doings first begin when Amir doesn't help Hassan. In the end Amir feels so guilty that he lies to his father about Hassan. The wrong doings escalate when Amir later finds out that Hassan is his half-brother because Baba slept with Hassan's mother. Baba betrayed his friend, Ali.

I agree, i feel as if the characters in the story cannot stay loyal to anyone else. It's almost like everyone is looking out for themselves and no one else. I could not believe that Baba would break his own rule to live by and steal someone's right to the truth.

The wrongdoings in this novel just keep getting worse after Hassan gets raped. No one in the novel seems to want to tell the truth to anyone. Without the truth, no one can be trusted and everyone turns on one another.

The wrongdoings in the novel began when Amir did not help Hassan. He tried to act as if he did not know that it had happend, and later, found out that Hassan knew all along. The other main lie was from when Baba kept the truth from both Hassan and Amir, for not telling them that they were half brothers.

Baba has a child with his friends wife. Because she is a hassara he makes his son a servant.Baba doesnt tell amir that hassan is his half brother. Amir his other becomes best friends with his half brother yet doesnt help him when he is getting hurt. He wants his father to get new servants. Then baba and amir move to America. Baba leaving his own child behind.

It all starts out with Amir not protecting Hassan for being raped. Then it goes to Amir setting Hassan up for stealing money. Now the Taliban has come into play and everything is going to crap.
