Chapter 2

There is a great amount of human evil in the second chapter. The human evil is mainly directed to Ali and Hassan since they are Hazara’s. Both the father and son get bullied for it where ever they go. On the way to the movies a few soldiers tease Hassan and convince him that one of the men had sex with his mother. This is a fully-grown man bullying a mere child. Soon after that the exact opposite is described when young children mock Ali in the street because of his hobble. All this bullying is prejudice towards the Hazara’s and is completely unfair. They call Ali things such as “Babalu” and “flat-nosed”.  He hobbles around because he lost his leg was taken from him because of polio. Disease is evil in itself because of all the pain and heart break it causes, it’s an example of onological evil. Some thing that was not necessarily and evil act was the fact that Amir and Hassan never had mothers. They were both stolen the right to have the loving touch from their own mother.
