I think the tree symbolizes Ha’s hope. This means for Ha that her “baby” is gone. Ha thought of the tree as her baby because she cared for it. One reason is that the tree was her get away from the world. Ha never really had as good a friend as TiTi until she left. Furthermore, the papaya tree was technically Ha’s friend.

Hosseini uses many symbols in his novel. One, in particular, shows the loss of friendship between Amir and Hassan, the pomegranate tree. In the beginning, Amir and Hassan would go to the tree to read stories and eat pomegranates. “After school, Hassan and I climbed its branches and snatched its bloodred pomegranates” (Hosseini 27-28). After Hassan had been raped, Amir and Hassan had gone back to the tree but this time the loss of friendship starts to show through. When Amir throws pomegranates at Hassan, it is him trying to get Haasan to punish Amir for what he had done wrong. “‘Hit me back!’ I spat. ‘Hit me back, goddamn you !’ I wished he would. I wished he’d give me the punishment I craved, so maybe I’d finally sleep at night” (Hosseini 92). Amir needs the punishment he deserves so badly from the awful things he did and now wants to live up to. Once Amir goes back to visit his home in Kabul, he finds the pomegranate tree that once was a symbol of friendship, and now the loss of just that. “Hassan said in his letter that the pomegranate tree hadn’t borne fruit in years. Looking at the wilted, leafless tree, I doubted it ever would again” (Hosseini 264). The pomegranate tree shows how during their friendship, the tree was beautiful and full of life. Now that Amir has betrayed Hassan and left him to be killed, the tree is now lifeless and no fruit to be eaten symbolizing the end of their relationship.
