What is inscribed on the pomegranate tree in the back yard? Why is it significant that Amir tries to pick a fight with Hassan in front of that tree? What ends up happening? Why is that Symbolic?
"Amir and Hassan: Sultans of Kabul" is inscribed in the pomegranate tree. It is significant because the red pomegranates signify blood. Also, it's strange because it's the spot they always spend time together. That;s like their happy spot and Amir just starts pelting Hassan with pomegranates, wanting Hassan to hit him back. This is Amir's way of trying to 'get what he deserves'. Hassan refuses to hit Amir, but instead crushes a pomegranate against his own head, asks if Amir is satisfied and then walks away. This is significant because Hassan AGAIN proves his loyalty to Amir, and Amir is left feeling terrible again.
