People who are not born into a wealthy family face many difficulties throughout their lives. Especially during war, when they have no other family or friends to turn to and cannot cross the border. Tariq had difficulty putting a roof over his family's heads while the war was ongoing while the wealthier part of Afghanistan fled or remained in their sheltered homes. Cars in Canada in the 21st century are just a luxury. Almost all Canadians have one. The fact that Mariam has never touched or seen a car is surprising. Mariam is a lower class Afghan, so she can't go to school, won't be able to get a job later in life, and will never have a house or car as nice as Jalils'. Because of a mistake Nana made by having a child with her boss, Nana has negatively affected her life in so many ways. Tariq and his family left Kabul when he was young to start a better life in Pakistan. They never went beyond Peshawar. With discrimination comes social class, people look down on others who live a different and harsher lifestyle than them. This shows that Amir has access to a good education, something that lower class citizens cannot get. Since Hassan and Ali were not born into a wealthy family, they are forced to work to meet the basic needs of life. Hassan eventually learns to accept life the way he was given and tries his best to clean the house while Amir goes off to get an education. This quote shows how Afghans, or anyone else, can treat someone who doesn't. t follow their religion or live in their social class. They believe that it is rare for someone to change from your family's servant to another family member, even if they are in love. The... center of the card... influences children like Hassan in Afghanistan. The racism continued when they went to America, where they will judge Americans and Americans will judge them. This shows that Amir is embarrassed to be friends with Hassan. He believes that Hassan is a lower class citizen due to his race and the fact that he is a "servant". He only plays with Hassan when no one is around because he is afraid that someone else will judge him for talking to a Hazara. The next quote is when Amir and Baba visit the doctor in America to get a CT scan for Baba's cancer. In The Kite Runner, the bully Assef treats Hassan very differently from Amir and the other kids in town. Hassan is a "flat-nosed" Pashtun who Assef claims is a race that poses a threat to the purity of Afghanistan. Expresses hatred towards anyone with the same background. Especially Hassan. Amir also treats Hassan differently.
