The Kite Runner

     Assef got what he deserved in The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.  In the beginning, Hassan and Amir told Assef that he would soon be called "one-eyed Assef" if he did not stop bullying them.  Assef laughed it off.  However, Sohrab comes back to give Assef what he deserved.  Assef only has one eye now because "the brass ball was still stuck in his empty eye socket," (291).  The situation in the beginning foreshadows the event in the end.  Assef now has one eye, just like Hassan said he would have.  And he got it with the slingshot.  This was the exact instrument that Hassan was going to use as well.  Assef got what was coming for him.  People shouldn't mess with the blood of Baba.
