When the chapter starts it is the winter time. Amir is very excited because he doesn't have to go to school in the winter. I'm sure that would make me enjoy winter a lot more too. This is always an exciting time for Amir and Hassan because it's the time of kite running. Baba takes them to buy their kites, and you can notice that Amir is really jealous of Baba favoring Hassan over him when Hassan isn't even his child.
Kite running is basically people flying kites and then they try and cut the string of the other competitors. The last kite standing is the winner.
"The Rules were simple:No rules. Fly your kite. Cut the opponents. Good Luck."-Amir pg.55
Amir is also jealous of Hassan because he is a much better kite runner then him. Kite running is when an opponent cuts the string of your kite and it flies away. The person who owns the kite will then run after it thus the term "Kite Runner". Hassan has the special ability to know where exactly the kite is going to land, something Amir is very jealous of.Amir wants to win this years kite running competition so Baba will be proud of him.
I think that this kind of behavior Amir demonstrates is totally normal because we all want to make our parents proud of us.
