ASKING QUESTIONS AND WONDERING:
Who is Hassan? Like how did Hassan and Amir meet?
Hassan and his father work for Amir's family.  They are slaves.
Who was Hassan's mother and was he born to slavery?
Hassan's mother was a beautiful kind of famous person. She wasn't a slave, but his father was thus making him a slave too.
Where is Hassan's mother?
She left weeks after giving birth to him.
Where did Hassan's mother go?
She left with travelling dancers.
Where is Amir's mother?
Amir's mother died giving birth to him.
What does Amir's father do?
Amir's father is a successful and famous business man.
Why does Amir always read to Hassan? Doesn't he go to school? 
I already had the idea that maybe Hassan didn't go to school because they're slaves, but I still wanted to make sure. As I read further in the book, Amir tells us that Hassan doesn't know how to read and has never been to school.
What did Amir's mother do when she was still alive? Was she a teacher, a doctor or something?
Her mother was a teacher. She taught classic Farsi Literature at a university. His mother was famous in Kabul and was named as one of Kabul's most respected beautiful, and virtuous ladies. She was also a descendant of the royal family.
Is this book a true to life story?
It is not a true to life story.
