Style/Foreshadowing

"Like the times Kaka Homayoun's projector got stuck on the same slide, the same image kept flashing in my mind over and over: Hassan, his head downcast, serving drinks to Assef and Wali. Maybe it would be for the best. Lessen his suffering. And mine too. Either way, this much had become clear: One of us had to go" (pg 102).

One thing that I have noticed throughout each chapter of the book is the style that Hosseini uses to write the novel. Each chapter contains some sort of foreshadowing, whether it be menial or significant, there always seems to be a hint as to what the audience can expect the characters to do next. For example, Amir clearly admits that either he or Hassan has to leave. Because of this foreshadowing, the audience can easily guess that Hassan will have to be the one to leave, considering he lives in Amir and Baba's house. The way he goes about goes about getting rid of Hassan is the part that leaves the audience reading for more information. The use of foreshadowing is one of the reasons I have enjoyed reading this book so much. It is so hard to put down because I always know something is coming up that I cannot miss! The unknown makes the story intriguing and suspenseful.
