Kite Runner part 1

For my Outside Reading Book, I chose to read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini because my pal Keith "Stone" Poole suggested it. Good read, little graphic at points but overall, good read.
Chapters 1-7
You are introduced to the narrator, Amir, who grew up in Afghanistan but is now in San Francisco. His old friend calls him from Pakistan, asking him to visit. After the phone call, Amir is reminded of his old friend Hassan with the cleft lip. As kids Amir and Hassan were little rascals, causing mischief all the time. Mostly all of their ideas came from Amir. If things ever went downhill, Hassan would bite the bullet and be the good dude he is and not blame his buddy, Amir. Hassan's father, Ali, was the servant to Amir's father, Baba. Neither men were longer married. Amir feels like he is to blame for his mother's death during birth. Baba feels that Amir may be too dependent and he will not make it when he becomes an adult. The story makes a bounce back to Baba's birth. Two men operating under the influence struck and killed his parents, and Ali's grandfather takes in Baba as his own. Amir creates his own short story when they flashforward to present time. The man in Amir's story turned his tears to pearls. Amir reads his story to Rahim Khan and Hassan, both are thoroughly impressed with the boys writing skills. Guns were fired during night and Amir, Ali, and Hassan hide til morning. Amir and Hassan are taking a little stroll when out of no where a rock hits Hassan. It was the neighborhood bullies, but luckily Hassan has his slingshot and they're able to escape. For Hassan's birthday gift, he gets his cleft lip fixed. Schools for the boys close during the winter time. The Kite Running tournament is explained. Hassan seems to be the best runner in town. Amir wins the kite running tournament. He and Hassan do a quick celey before Baba motions for them to celebrate. Hassan is being chased by the bullies again while he is looking for the kite. The bullies raped Hassan, who walks home after Amir watches this awful act by the bullies. Hassan walks home bloody and crying.
