The Kite Runner Chapters 4-7

Amir describes his life with Ali and Hassan. The stuffs that he used to do with Hassan. Hassan's ignorance in reading was remarkable along the way. It also describes the things Hassan had to do as a servant for Amir like having his breakfast ready before he woke up and after he woke make his bed while he was eating breakfast. The also described how Ali got in the family with the help of Baba's father.
Amir discovered his writing skills. Rahim Khan writes a note telling him to keep up on writing that he will go far. Amir got motivated thanks to Rahim Kahn. Then he read his story to Hassan, who paid attention to him carefully. Baba instead didn't show any interest on Amir's story, even though Amir wished Rahim would have been his father. (page 32)

Amir could felt his father's love and preoccupation when came back worried about Amir and Hassan lives after the fireguns shots. The king ran away from Afghanistan they will have a President instead.
Dr. Kumar was the birthday present from Baba to Hassan on his birthday to make a surgery on his lips. The irony was that now that he got the surgery he could finallt smiled, however, he would't be able to smile anymore (page 47). After having read, we could find the irony mentioned by Amir. He mentioned that because Hassan got rapped by Assef.
