Chapter 7 !

 The chapter begins with Amir and Hassan eating breakfast, and Hassan explains tell Amir his dream. It's the day of the kite running competition and you can tell that Amir feels a great amount of pressure from Himself and Baba to win this year. If Amir is to win, he feels that Baba will finally be proud of him. Amir is also extremely nervous because if he loses he thinks that he will never be able to make Baba proud. Hassan comforts him by saying..

 "Remember Amir agha. There's no monster, just a beautiful day."-pg 65 

 The quote refers to his dream in which He and Amir swim in a lake where there is a supposed monster. Buy swimming in the lake they prove there is no monster and the people name the lake in honour of their bravery.
Amir ends up making it to the finals and begins to see victory within his reach.

"But this was my chance to be looked at, not seen, listened to ,not heard"-pg 69 

 Amir wins and Hassan offers to run the kite he won against as a trophy. Hassan is gone for a long time and Amir goes off to look for him. When Amir asks a merchant he tells him that Hassan was being chased by some other boys. When Amir finally finds him he has been cornered by Assef and his friends, Assef also wants the kite. Assef is prepared to beat up Hassan, but if he gives him the kite he'll let him go. Hassan knows that the kite would mean a lot to Amir and refuses to give it up. Hassan gets raped in this chapter ,however, Amir can see what is happening but runs away not knowing what to do.
 At this point in the book I had to stop reading because the book become very graphic and it made me quite uncomfortable find Hassan's character to be quite interesting and I’ve grown to like him very much. It made me feel upset know that Amir knew yet he ran away anyways even though Hassan is his friend.
 The chapter ends with Amir pretending to just find Hassan and they walk home together.
