Rahim Khan - Friend of Baba and Ali, well-respected and gives Amir fatherly love which is own dad does not.

Brings through the idea of his family and the relationships with people close to him.

Mostly positive with few racially charged agression against Hassan for being Hazara, a minority.

The tone shows loathing from the point of view of Amir. He wishes problems from his past were forgettable.

The way the actions are described are almost as if he is remorseful but nostalgic of the positive memories and the pitiful memories.

The tone brings an idea of regret for the way he acted towards his family and how he wish he acted differently.

Hassan - His father's servant, also his best friend/half brother.

So far a motif is always starting with the regret of what happened on the day in winter 1975. There is constant reference to this day and what change happened.

Around chapter 8, it begins to have a more sad tone as he realizes the relationship between himself and Hassan has been messed up and destroyed from his own fault.

Assef - A rich child who lives in their area. He has a racist ideal of getting rid of Hazaras from where they live. He believes that Hitler did the right thing and is the antagonist in the book. He rapes Hassan and causes the split between Amir and Hassan as Amir silently watches the rape happen.

Amir begins to act out of jealously towards Hassan and begins to believe his loyalty is too much Hassan never fights back and by the time he gets raped, Amir wants to get rid of him and not talk to him again. He is upset about how he did nothing during the rape and how Hassan doesn't take any anger out on him whenever Amir is trying to start an argument.

He writes little stories when he is a young teen and just wants his father's approval on his writing. He doesn't receive the approval much at all due to the fact that his father wishes he was more into athletics and not so much reading.

He sacrifices Hassan to be able to get the blue kite as he believes the affection from his father will be able to be gotten if he wins the kite race. He lets Hassan be raped to be able to keep the kite and in the end he had a small time worth of affection but his father ultimately ended up being disappointed by him later on.
