In this chapter I have learnt that Baba was born in 1933. This was also the time Zahir Shah began a 40 year regin of Afghanistan, which is important information for the next chapter. I also learn that Baba Adopts Ali ,his current servant, after his parents are struck by a vehicle and killed.Ali is also Hassan's father.
Amir and Hassan have grown up together their whole lives. They even have a favourite spot on a hill under a tree, where they read books. They fly kites,go to movies they even learned how to ride bikes and crawl together.
Amir ,however, attends school while Hassan stays home to help Ali with the house-hold chores. Amir read to Hassan all the time since he can't. He has an interest in reading while his favourite book is Shahnaman.
The chapter ends with Amir writing his own story. He shows it to Baba, but he shows little interest. Rahim read Amir's story and thinks that he has true talent that should not go to waste.
"God has granted you a special talent.It is now your duty to hone that talent, because a person who wastes his god-given talent is a donkey"- Rahim pg 35
