The Kite Runner Chapter 7

Because of Amir's desire for his father's approval he watches his friend get raped. All over a kite when in reality he won even if he didn't have the blue kite in his possession. I am disappointed in Amir, and I wonder if Hassan saw him standing there watching. The boy's helping Aseef were unsure if they wanted to help, so I am guessing they went through with it because they were afarid of Aseef like Amir was. But Amir is guilty, but he makes excuses for not helping his friend.
