CHAPTER SEVEN QUESTIONS

1) The way in which the sky is described as a"blameless blue" could suggest Amir views himself as blameless for not intervening in Hassan's assault.

2)Amir replies to Hassan by saying "We won" which is surprising as Amir usually detests sharing Baba's, or anyone's attention else's attention with Hassan. 

3)The narrator interrupts the chapter with a dream and memory as both were particularly traumatic for Amir, and symbolise that Amir was paralysed with fear and wasn't thinking rationally about what was happening in the present.

4) Wali and Kamal both seem unsure, and share mixed emotions ranging from fear to excitement. Wali seems particularly scared, as his father viewed it as "sinful".the way in which Wali reacts is extremely significant as it shows that his fear of Assef outshines is loyalty to his father, as he doesn't abide by his fathers rules.

5)The Eid sacrifice is symbolic of how innocent and defenceless Hassan was. I also think that the way in which Amir said the lamb excepted it's fate and stopped moving,  suggests that Hassan didn't attempt to defend himself"
