suffers injuries during his fight with Assef, the Talib who imprisoned Sohrab. On page 289, Amir notes that his “body was broken – just how badly I wouldn’t find out until later” but I felt I had healed. Healed at last.” Because Amir stands up for Sohrab, he finally repays Hassan for his loyalty. He makes a better choice the second time he must decide whether or not to protect a friend. Furthermore, because his punishment was delivered by Assef (the Talib mentioned and his former bully), Amir receives

black-turbaned Talib comes along with a bamboo stave and whacks at the legs of the poor women begging along the road. They help each other to their feet under the blows of his cane, which makes a whistling sound as it passes through the air before thwacking against their long robes and legs ” (Staples 88). These women were begging to get food, probably to feed the mouths of their children, they weren't bothering anybody, and they certainly weren't bothering the black-turbaned Talib, yet he physically

She includes another example of how her family is impacted by the Taliban, “One day my mother went shopping with my cousin...A Talib accosted them and blocked their way. ‘If I see you again wearing a scarf but no burqa I will beat you’” (169).

The first sentence of the quote foreshadows Amir’s struggle to forget the past throughout the rest of the book. He claims that no matter how hard you try or how far you bury it, the past will always “claw its way out”.

they ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. They are extremely ruthless, and we have many different glimpses of this in the book. “So [the Talibs] took him to the street...and ordered him to kneel...and shot him in the back of the head. Farzana came screaming and attacked them...shot her too. Self-defense, they claimed later” (Hosseini 219). In this quote, the Talib officials shot Hassan and his wife for absolutely no reason, and claimed it was self defense. The author, Hosseini, gives us the audience
