sentence
1.I was stunned.......changed forever
one of the writing's objection, irony.
comment:

Like many stories, it caught our attention and suddenly come to a short end.
2.But in none of his stories did Baba ever refer to Ali as his friend.
comment:
solid as their relationship is, Ali never be a friend of father, what a tragic that it happens between Amir and Hassan.
as author explains in the passage followed, just nothing.
Summary:
As a child, I used to make tricks on Hassan, for instance,misleading him. Because I was lucky enough to have a better education, even Hassan has the thought I didn't have, it dosen't matter, for he won't get anything in that for the moment.So it is my own secret no one can take it.
