Hassan and Amir's relationship through a Tree Blossoming
This image represents Amir and Hassan's relationship. The trunk shows how the two started in similar situations in terms of not having a mother and in terms of how Baba treated both of them in their youth. However, as the trunk becomes a branch, their experiences start to differ and their relationship starts to become bumpier and more unsure. Finally, when Amir returns to Afghanistan and receives a punishment for his betrayal and saves Sohrab, his relationship with Hassan blooms into a flower. This shows how even though Hassan is dead, Amir feels like he has been redeemed, and is finally at peace. Even though their relationship was, at times, tested, they can move on to have a benevolent end.

I really liked how you connected each part of the tree to a significant event. It helps show the development of Amir and Hassan's relationship and them as individual characters. You could also connect this image to Amir and Babas relationship and how they were similar in the beginning, went through bumps, but reconnected in America.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea behind this metaphor, as it is clear that both Hassan and Amir share the same "roots" (LOL) but they grow (HAHA) into different people who can still love each other despite their past.
ReplyDeleteI like your metaphor and how you went through and showed the similarites throughout Amir and Hassan's relationship.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used to the physiology of the tree to explain Amir's and Hassan's relationship.
ReplyDeleteI like how you compared the bumps in the tree to the bumps in Amir's relationship with Baba. Another connection is that the bumps in Amir's and Baba's relationship can help them grow as people like the flowers on the tree.
ReplyDeleteI think your metaphor fit really well, and I like how the parallels drawn between the tree and their relationship goes beyond just the branches but also talks about other physical aspects of the tree. Also, this is cool since their relationship was also symbolized by a tree by Hosseini in the actual novel.
ReplyDeleteI really like your comparison of the trunk and branches to their relationship. I think it definitely applies because of how similar their early lives were, and yet they still grew distant.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very good metaphor in describing Amir and Hassan's relationship. I like how you talked about how the blossom tree shows them growing apart, but still being able to, together, become this beautiful tree with flowers.
