Hassan however never feels hatred for Amir. Something unusual for a child, Hassan names his child Sohrab after the character in story told by Amir.
Evaluation
There are two very contradicting personalities shown in the movie. One of Hassan and the other of Assef. The children are fragile and sensitive. Also the children are fearful and tend to avoid danger (Lereya, Samara, and Wolke, 2013). In the movie however, Assef is totally insensitive. He could not just rely on verbal show of his prejudice and hatred. Assef grows up with these traits and to have a 'better future' in Afghanistan, he joins Taliban. Rather than adopting the extremist religion philosophy of the group, he continues to have his evil inner self satisfied by abusing children (Lereya, Samara, and Wolke, 2013). This time he got Hassan's child Sohrab. This is the most unbelievable, strange and bizarre moment of the movie (Effects of Bullying, n.d.). It is hard to imagine that someone can have such a deep rooted hatred that he displays his hatred till next generation by bullying, misusing and harassing Hassan's boy. Like the father like the son.
Besides Assef's behavior, Sohrab's personality is also strange. He has no drive to live a free life, or at least it seems so (Lereya, Samara, and Wolke, 2013). He and his family are so misused that they have lost the wish to have a fully independent and prosperous life. Even if they could not change their destiny, they could hate those that misused them and did not help in hard times. But Hassan and his son's characters are designed such that they never hate nor do they lose loyalty.
Amir's character is less critisized yet he does not show normal child behavior too. Because the children would shout while seeing crime scenes or they will yell...
He gets rid of Hassan by accusing him of theft. Hence Amir indirectly punishes the victim not the assaulter.
Recommended or Not
Not recommending the movie is hard. The movie is although based on the controversial topic. It involves the realistic problems like racial hatred, suppression of the poor and child abuse. Yet, there are a lot of things to be learned. The movie did not end without a lesson. Amir, who has always recognized the loyalty of Hassan, finally pays back his sincerity by putting his life in danger. The audience is thrilled to watch Amir entering Afghanistan once again. The movie is recommended because it gives two sides of the picture; the victim's side and the assaulter's side. The audience is relieved to see justice coming to Assef finally from hands of Sohrab.
The movie is also recommended because it teaches that what so ever happens, the truth wins finally and the justice prevails. Although it will be fanaticizing to say that the whole community or society got justice, but up to the scope of the main characters of movie, there is some justice seen finally. Although Hassan dies living a tough life, his son can not only have the fruit of father's patience and loyalty, he can also do well for his community.

Bear Globally, there are eight bear species in the Family Ursidae (Order Carnivora), three of which are found in Canada: The Black bear, the brown bear and the polar bear. Black bear still occupy 85% of their historic Canadian range and 62% of the original North American range (Kolenosky and Strathearn 1987, Pelton 2000). In North America, black bears evolved as forest dwellers and most populations are currently stable or increasing (Brown,
On March 14, 2008, Bear's stock dropped nearly 40% in the first half-hour of trading, effectively tolling the death-knell of Bear's existence as an independent entity (Boyd 2008). Only a temporary loan from J.P. Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York prevented Bear from going bankrupt immediately.

Polar Bear Habitat Powerful yet fragile; these words best describe the polar bear and the habitat where the bears reside. The polar bear is an animal of supreme beauty and power. Polar bears can kill swiftly with one powerful strike from their expansive paws. The inviting cuddly image of the polar bear hides the quiet power, of a fierce predator. Polar bears may be lost to the world forever if the
One of the eyes is cracked. The last room Karen checks is the kitchen. She is still holding and petting the teddy bear when she stops in front of the sink. She stares at the spot on the counter where the teddy bear had landed that time that Mark threw it across the room. The camera is behind Karen but as she turns around, it focuses on the back of
